Mark's newest challenge is to see how many movies he can watch on Netflix streaming in a single month.

His goal is 250 movies. That's 15.5 hours per day. That's including ALL THE END CREDITS.

Think he can do it? Well, do you think a man who can get Six-Pack Abs in 30 Days can do it? Or do you think a man who brought a goat into an Apple Store can do it? Do you think a man who raced a New York City bus on a Big Wheel and WON can do it?

Follow Mark on Twitter and Facebook and tell him what movie he should watch next!

Yesterday, Apple announced the iPhone 5.

And now you want to know how it compares to other smartphones. But why is all of the iPhone coverage you read so boring and dry? Where's the humor? Where's the wit?

Well, needy phone fan, Slacktory is here to help. They're covering the iPhone 5 announcement and subsequent online debates. And they've already used more sarcasm than Tim Cook has used probably in his entire life. It's the coverage that speaks to you, the smart and savvy consumer whose identity is informed not soley by the smartphone you choose, but also the research you do to choose it.

(*Um, this is an entirely unverifiable statement and I do not stand behind it. But, hit me up, Tim, if you'd like to comment!)

We here at My Damn Channel are one big family. Sure, we have some weird aunts and uncles, and yes, I do consider myself the cool, edgy younger brother, but nonetheless we're family.

That's why we're so proud to see a few familiar My Damn Channel names hanging out around the web.

In honor of Fourth of July, America's Independence Day, I'm honoring American Things We (I) Love:

America's Test Kitchen

Have you ever seen this show? It's amazing. No gimmicks. No embellishments. No harbingers of death masked as fried food. No one weirdly obsessed with her husband or wearing really heavy eye makeup in her kitchen. This show is legit. It acknowledges common cooking problems that the average home cook might have, and presents reasonable steps for fixing them. AND they have 608 recipes for Apple Pie or Apple Pie-related food items. And if that's not an American thing we should love, I don't know what is.

Up next in our celebration of American Things We (I) Love: "America" (from West Side Story)...

Have you been keeping up with Mark Malkoff and his mission to watch 250 movies on Netflix this month?

So far he's watched 60 movies on Netflix streaming.

That's 95 hours.

He didn't leave his home for 6 days.

When he DID leave, he watched "Hoosiers" on his phone.

Mark's taking movie suggestions via Twitter and Facebook! What should he watch next? Today's theme is "Action" and Wednesday's theme is "Horror." We can't wait until Friday, when Mark has resolved to watch "Razzie Winners."

Someone has to suffer for art, Mark. We're just glad it's you and not us who has to watch "Gigli."

After the Netflix Challenge ended, I've been pondering, "What's my buddy Mark Malkoff going to do with all his free time?"

Turns out, he's planning on making dinner for Bill Murray once a week until Bill agrees to visit Mark's Queens apartment.

Hey, Mark, if you ever need help-- specifically if Bill Murray ever shows up-- I make a killer pizza. bro. Cheese and sauce and pepperoni and stuff. But seriously... I'll cook anything to meet Bill Murray! ANYTHING.

Mark? Come on man! I thought we were friends! LET ME MEET BILL MURRAY!!!
