Morning Buzz: It's August

It's August if you can even imagine that. This calls for some things to keep our minds off the fact that Summer is half over. Take it away, links:

*Jack Nicholson, Alec Baldwin, Matt Damon, Mark Walberg and Leonardo DiCaprio saddle up for Martin Scorsese new film, The Departed. PLOT: "Two men from opposite sides of the law are undercover within the Boston State Police department and the Irish mafia, but violence and bloodshed boil when discoveries are made, and the moles are dispatched to find out their enemy's identities." Dear lord. Watch the trailer here.

*A friend tipped us to this interesting looking documentary called Shadow Company, about modern-day mercenaries. Trailer viewing time.

*Sony's new Bravia commercial filming in Glasgow is previewed at You Tube. Pretty crazy stuff.

*Your daily Mel Gibson moment. The Daily Gut gives the Gibson Guide to How to Address A Female Police Officer. PS: In your face Mel Gibson, Vancouver has a pro-Israeli rally.

*The 9 most spin-off worthy comedy characters. According to Cracked.com anyways.

*For Daniel of WineGlow: Sausage Races add new Chorizo sausage "Mr. Picante."

*Here's your chance to watch Rob Zombie on the floor with a 5'2" real live female.

*Corinna from Gus Greeper posts more damned Spirit Bear photos and/or dirty bear humping evidence just to torture us. It's luck we're in Paris and already into the red wine or we'd have lost it.

*The Vancouver Zoo - we still have one? - claims that they did not not abuse Hanzina the Hippo whose claim to fame was starring in one of those tired Telus ads. I can sleep better now. And the Hippo is now living in a new $650,000 home, in Kits. Yeah sure.
