Mr. Peabody: I need a nuclear reaction to generate the 1.21 gigawatts of electricity I need. Sherman: You don't just walk into a store and-and buy plutonium. Did you rip that off?

Lost: BaywatchI really can't get behind this version of the Lost credits set to the theme of Baywatch, as anything that uses more Jack can't be a good thing. Of course fans of shirtless Sawyer will be pleased. And why wait so long for Kate? And why isn't there any Charlie? He's a good swimmer, right? Oh, wait...

They were seven - and they fought like seven hundred!Popped Culture reader Tom Geddes sent me his creation of a more Magnificent Seven, replacing James Coburn with Bruce Willis, Horst Buchholz with Ghandi, Yul Brynner with Mr. T, Brad Dexter with Chewbacca, Robert Vaughn with Batman and, my favourite Charles Bronson with Optimus Prime. Steve McQueen stayed in as "he's the coolest man that ever lived."Nice work, Tom — I hope to see more.Previously on Popped Culture...Matthew, Mark, Luke and Optimus Prime Laugh It Up, Fuzzball Mr. T Party

"For the past 20 years, Los Angeles-based artist Mark Bennett has made art firmly rooted in the collective American experience of television. His drawings and lithographs are "blueprints" of famous television houses... His floor plans narrate the American Dream, charting not only the architecture, but also the subtext of our culturally accepted models for living."I love the idea  of these homes actually existing, being planned and built. It makes me think that somewhere, somehow it really happened. Yabba dabba doo! (Link via BuzzFeed)Previously on Popped Culture...ABC3D Periodic Table of Typefaces Mashups Are Playing At My House

I loved Hurt Locker, but this is pretty much how I figure it will go at the Oscars. I barely feel invested in this year's race, but I can't not make a few picks.Best Picture: Avatar - they can't ignore a film that has made a couple of billion dollars.Best Director: Kathyrn Bigelow - Hurt Locker's concession to losing Best Picture.Best Actor: Jeff Bridges - I haven't seen Crazy Heart, but Bridges is the only choice anyone is making.Best Actress: Sandra Bullock - The Blind Side's reward for a Best Picture nod.Best Supporting Actor: Mo'Nique - Like Bridges, the runaway favourite. Best Supporting Actress: Christoph Waltz - He owned every scene of Inglourious Basterds he was in and was a thrill to watch. Best Original Screenplay: I want Inglourious Basterds to win, if just to watch Quentin Tarantino to bring his sweaty, nervous energy to the Oscar podium. Best Adapted Screenplay: I'm going with District 9 because I enjoyed it, but that's usually the kiss of death for my choices.Best Animated Film: Up has the only real shot here.These are hardly out-there picks, so if you want to win your Oscar pool, you'll have to do it in the other 15 categories. I have no idea about these, so you're on your own, but you can pretty much pick Avatar for any technical categories. Oh yeah, and Logorama for Best Animated Short, one I actually posted about.  (Pic via Comixed)Previously on Popped Culture...Team Avatar: Pandora PoliceMeanwhile, In The Parallel Lost Universe...

"West side when we ride, come equipped with game..." The Land of Oz is now more like the prison than wonderful these days, but despite the Wicked Witch of the Westside's fearsome nature, she can be easily defeated by a drive-by super soaking.

Darth Vader and Boba Fett as Vincent Vega and Jules Winnfield. It's like a nerdgasm on a shirt.

Olde-timey bustin makes me feel good...In 1884 Professor Aaron Spengler found a way to entrap ghosts. After setting up a squad with other two scientists, they started a business called "Phantasm Entrapment Service, Inc.", their slogan was "Who Ya Gonna Telegraph?"All of Three members of the squad disappeared in mysterious circumstances. One hundred years later, Prof. Spengler's relative, Egon, found his lost notes and made a new business out of them, it was called "the Ghostbusters."Adam Antium's Bustin' Made Them Feel Good isn't available yet, but you can vote for it and make sure it gets printed.
