The Link Dump: Things Happen

Tuesday, October 21 by

Lots of things happen. Things are always happening. They happen all over the world, to people, to animals, to plants even. Here are some things that happened in movies and tv that I didn't write about today.

Let The Right One In Red Band Trailer

Tuesday, October 21 by

Holy freaking small devil girl. This one looks pretty dope. I got to be honest, I don’t really dig regular horror movies. I’m just a total puss when it comes to torture porn and teens being chased through fields of corn by chainsaw wielding freaks.

Almost Transformers Are Amazing

Tuesday, October 21 by

This one is pure brilliance from the Aussie comedy Duo Merrick and Rosso.  I’m a sucker for 1) candid camera shows, 2) low budget interpretations of big budget things 3) boobies. This video really only has the first two. But damn is it funny.  The best part is that every time they switch from being a washing machine or a fridge to being a human, they yell TRANSFORM! Awesome.

Days Of Wrath Trailer

Tuesday, October 21 by

I’m a little frustrated that movies like this are out there suggesting that LA is a super violent place run by well-armed minority gangs. I’ve lived in the city for years and I’ve only been shot twice. The trick is to take it in the shoulder.

Spike Jonez To Direct New Weezer Video

Tuesday, October 21 by

The hardest thing about filmmaking is accurately communicating the strange things in your head that seem important. This is the reason that Spike Jonez is basically my hero.  He comes up with abstract, high-concept ideas and manages to turn them into amazing finished products. Here's some videos of a few of his previous works.

Monday’s Links With Nalin Paylin

Monday, October 20 by

Yes, the first minute or so of the Sarah Palin inspired Hustler Porn: Nailin' Paylin are now online. Hordes of GOP supporters and Joe Six-packs will watch just for the story line.

Bernie Mac Has New Friend In Heaven

Monday, October 20 by

The crazy thing is that in Pimp Years, Rudy Ray Moore was actually 473 years old. I won’t break down the math, but just understand that all the beating women with coat hangers, trying to get your money, running the finest stable of hos this side of the Mississippi, and just gangsta-leaning that hard can age a brother. He died today, and we have lost a true hero.

Natalie Portman Solves Economic Crisis

Monday, October 20 by

There are a lot of different ways they could have gone with this premise.  This one works. I would have done it as a fake commercial for an investment bank where you have one of those serious financial advisors types giving you the straight talk.

Monday Mashup: The Dark Knight vs. Toy Story 2

Monday, October 20 by

I know it’s easier with cartoon faces, but when whoever edits these things manages to get the mouth movements to line up with the words, I am BLOWN away. This one has some of the best I’ve ever seen, and Mr. Potato Head at about 1:30 makes me laugh my plastic moustache off. Nice work.

This Is Not Sex

Monday, October 20 by

This semi-NSFW video promo for Zach and Miri from Mean Magazine toes the line between high art and just good comedy. It’s got a great look, and this bit of wisdom from sexy Elizabeth Banks.

David Wain: The Interview

Monday, October 20 by

David Wain is best known for his work on the shows Stella and The State. He directed Wet Hot American Summer and The Ten.  He has just finished his first big studio movie picture, Role Models. I spoke with him over the phone about fatherhood, the logistics of cursing around child actors, and Asberger’s Syndrome.

Recap: Entourage Gives Ari His Shot

Monday, October 20 by

Season 5, episode 7 "Gotta Look Up to Get Down." Vince is still screwing himself (and Turtle over) by being Mr. Nice Guy while Ari gets the chance of a lifetime for killing a guy. That sounds about right. Vince:

A Video Game Movie Didn’t Fail

Monday, October 20 by

Max Payne shot his way to the top of the box office numbers this weekend and if I'm not mistaken, it had everything to do with Mark Walburg talking to animals.

Mark Walberg Talks To Animals RESPONSE

Sunday, October 19 by

The original sketch that this is referencing was damn funny. You can peep it here. And seriously, say hi to your mother for me.

Something Completely Different: China is Crowded

Saturday, October 18 by

When I see something so awesome that has nothing to do with Movies or TV, I’m just going to post it anyway.  This is reason number 4,563 to stay the hell away from China. “What do you do for a living?” “Oh, you know those dudes that cram people into trains? I’m one of those guys. My father did it. That's how I got the job.”
