Both the Photo of the Week and the Bacon Product of the Week:

I followed this guy for 15 minutes to get a good snapshot of his vanity plate.

Dude, we love that you love bacon.

Unless you’re actually just a fan of Francis Bacon, which is still cool.

Jason from GorillaSushi:
“He might have wanted to memorialize the time he saw Kevin Bacon in Las Vegas.”

Heywood:
“Or maybe the guy is from the small Eastern European town of Bacon, Latvia?”

We covered the unbelievably talented Adam Pesapane back in September with his stop-action films “Kaboom!”, “Game Over”, and “Human Skateboard”. Now, PES is back with an all new film, “Western Spaghetti.” Check it:

Imagine Apocalypse Now with more explosions and more severed heads.

The song is “Star Spangled Mojo” by Mojo Nixon - perhaps the best rendition of “The Star Spangled Banner” ever.

The only detail about the 2007 Wes Anderson film “The Darjeeling Limited” that I didn’t like: the absence of products and movie-related schwag.

I still want a Hotel Chevalier bathrobe, dammit.

Finally - Threadpit has released this cool Darjeeling Limited t-shirt.

I already bought one. I love the design and bright colors.

The movie War, Inc. finally came to a theater in my neighborhood.

Two words: “kick” and “ass.”

I loved it.

Brand Hauser (John Cusak) is an assassin on a mission in the war-torn mythle-eastern nation of Turaqistan. Hauser is posing as the producer of an arms convention, promoting Tamerlane military industries - the very corporation currently occupying the nation of Turaqistan. At the convention, Hauser meets journalist Natalie Hegalhuzen (Marisa Tomei) and obnoxious middle eastern pop star Yonica Babyyeah (Hilary Duff) . . . and all hell breaks loose in this Douglas Coupland-esque world.

War, Inc. has several of the best qualities of Cusak’s previous assassin dark comedy Grosse Pointe Blank - clever dialogue, a great soundtrack (that does not yet exist on iTunes, dammit), and several stellar fight/action scenes worthy of Martin Blank. This film also smelled heavily of Douglas Coupland and Naomi Klein’s “Baghdad Year Zero” (both of which are good smells).

This month’s issue of Wired magazine ran an article about MegaPhone - turning big-screen billboards into giant game screens, your cellphone becomes a game controller, and all you have to do is call the phone number posted on the screen and you’re playing video games on the side of a building.

Recently, Palo Alto based product engineering firm MindTribe has placed a 65″ plasma screen in a front window with the same idea in mind. You dial the phone number on the screen and you are now playing a version of Tetris while standing in the middle of the sidewalk (and it’s free). Bonus: if you get a high score, your snapshot goes up on their website.

Palo Alto, CA.

Pampas - a new Brazilian churrasco restaurant.

Dessert menu item: “chocolate torte served with caramel ice cream, crème fraiche sauce, bacon Brazil nut toffee, smoked sea salt.”

Consulting Executive Pastry Chef: Marisa Churchill

The toffee is a nice blend - far better than other bacon chocolate combinations I’ve tried in the past - a good balance of texture (Brazil nuts and bacon) with pleasant sweetness (chocolate and toffee) and the finish of salty and smokey umami (bacon).

Overall Bacony Goodness Score: ***** 5/5
