Western Spaghetti - New from PES

Back and Forth, Forever
Friday, July 4th, 2008))<>((
This obscure emoticon ))<>(( just may be the funniest thing out there, ever. And I’ve made it my new life’s goal to tell everyone about it.
In short, Allison sees this ThreadPit t-shirt and says:
“I know where this is from, you have to see the movie!”
And she shows me the video clip from “Me and You and Everyone We Know” and it all made sense and I was laughing so hard I peed (NSFW):
Spread the word.
Back and forth, forever.

Tuesday, June 24th, 2008Okay, I’ll admit it: I was looking up Daft Punk videos on YouTube. I came across this video, and I still don’t know what to make of it… except that this person’s fingers are a lot more flexible than mine.
Daft Hands: Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger
And then there’s the obvious, poor choice in green bracelet jewelry.

In A Galaxy Far, Far Away…
Sunday, June 22nd, 2008Do you think George Lucas had this in mind when he made Star Wars?
Make sure you stick around for the Darth Vader crotchgrab at the end…

War, Inc.
Thursday, June 19th, 2008The 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).
Death Race 2000
Tuesday, June 17th, 2008
Death Race - an upcoming remake of the 1975 film Death Race 2000 (starring David Carradine and Sylvester Stallone). Given that it’s already 2008, they decided to ditch the “2000” part in the new title.
Commencement Speeches
Sunday, June 15th, 2008It’s time for graduation ceremonies once again. Here’s a working list of some of the more interesting graduation commencement speakers:
• Drury University, 2007 - gameshow host Bob Barker [video]
• University of Pennsylvania, 2004 - Bono
• Harvard, 2006 - Seth MacFarlane (the voice of “Stewie” on “Family Guy”) [video]
• Stanford, 2008 - Oprah Winfrey
• Columbia, 2007 - “Lost” actor Matthew Fox
• Harvard, 2008 - author J.K. Rowling
• Ashley Hall Girls Preparatory School, 2007 - Mike Reiss (writer/producer of “The Simpsons”) - I included this because he is one of the funniest commencement speakers I have ever seen: video 1, video 2, video 3, video 4, video 5.
Picking on the Little Guy
Thursday, June 12th, 2008There’s something about Smart Cars that makes people want to test them, taunt them, rebuild them, or destroy them.

Rednecks Doing What They Do Best….Art?
Wednesday, June 11th, 2008If you’ve ever been this inspired while eating barbecued wings, you’re probably a redneck.

“Lucy, the Daughter of the Devil” (Loren Bouchard, H. Jon Benjamin) - perhaps one of the funniest shows ever to air on [adult swim]. Already done with its first season, and perhaps already done with its last season - it looks like [adult swim] may not pick “Lucy” up for a second season. Perhaps because it is a little too controversial at times: DJ Jesus (the second coming) and his love interest Lucy (the Daughter of the Devil) live the 20-something hipster life with their friend Judas, while Lucy’s father makes regular attempts to overtake the world. Plus a never-ending supply of priest jokes.
The credits of “Lucy, the Daughter of the Devil” are funnier than an entire season of “Family Guy.”
Watch some: “Lucy, the Daughter of the Devil”
