See that sh*t.

If you have not seen The Wire, I just don't know where to begin. But this video does!

If you haven’t seen, well you’re not living life to the fullest yet. See that sheeeeiiiiit.

Lane Meyer, Cinematic Soulmate

Technically, yes I am a child of the eighties. But that was eons ago when I could barely speak or walk on two legs. Recently I was asked to review a non-auteur film. I wracked my brain and out of sheer love (and laziness), I decided to churn out a small love letter to Better Off Dead (1985).

The film was directed by Savage Steve Holland. It stars John Cusack as Lane Meyer, a Colorado teen pushed to a series of unsuccessful but extremely comic suicide attempts after his perfect girlfriend Beth dumps him. It was originally written as a drama, but when the script was shown to people, they succumbed to fits of laughter. Its deadpan tone and surrealistic animation sequences (especially the hamburger stop-motion sequence) makes this a unique gem from the eighties film vault. I don't care if John Cusack doesn't want to talk about this film; nonetheless, it will make you laugh until you cry. And it has a happy ending, proving true love is out there for everyone, even hapless dreamers that can't ski the K-12. 

Find the youtube of the hamburger sequence below for your enjoyment. :)



Where is my modern day Lane Meyer, a hopeless romantic willing to mold hamburger puppet sequences for me?

It's a dangerous game to bum a ciggy...

South Park bluntly explains it all

HAHAHAHAHAHA! "South Park" just gets better and better, simply based on the fact that really don't give a fuck who they piss off. Aliens? in Indiana Jones? It was just too much for my mind to take. This parody video is the least ridicule Spielberg and Lucas deserve.

John Mayer has jokes, y'all

Between the Mayercraft cruise with BWE and "Clarity", I'm really finding it hard to hate on JM lately.

Plus, his man-locks are pretty spiffy.



Oh wait, he's dating Jennifer Aniston, now I'm pissed again. But hey, he's always had bad taste in ladies...

It's all about the production design

In honor of Michel Gondry's new flick, Be Kind, Rewind, Filmmaking Frenzy held a contest for parody/remakes. The best one so far is The Thing by Team Syracused. They've got flames going, fake blood, even a severed head prop!

Beware though, it's very hit or miss, especially the ones starring people in their mid forties. For example, this Lebowski one is okay, but another one I saw was just crap made by some nerds.



And if you have a place in your heart for David Bowie, you owe it to yourself to watch the Labyrinth parody.

Less videos, More MTV crap

I love how The Onion made sure to point out that JT was a bit behind the times when shouting at the VMAs that they should play more videos.



Hey JT, MTV would come back with some retort like "that's why we created MTV2, MTV Hits, jerk-off", which is absolute BS. I remember that more times than not M2 had a fucking episode of Wild N'Out or something on instead of videos!

And the article goes on to explain how MTV is continuing to drive normal people insane with a look at their new fall programming.

"13 signs that MTV hates You" shines the light of truth on the many things wrong with MTV. I particulary enjoyed their condemnation of Nick Cannon and how he is indeed not hilarious!
