she's heart and soul, she's hot and cold

I've always liked Huey Lewis and the News in a pretty ironic way. The songs of theirs that I can remember from my childhood are their later, kitchier ones like 'Hip to be Square,' and 'Power of Love,' and while I do enjoy them still, its kind of impossible to take them seriously. So I can't believe I had never heard this song 'Heart and Soul' before, it was one of the hits of their massive record Sports, and it is seriously amazing. There's really not much to dislike about this video, the song is unbelievable, and I absolutely love the dance moves performed by Huey and his two guitar players.



Fantastic.

Dimitri is more manly than I could ever hope to be.

Wow. I just stumbled across this absolutely insane voice mail (via Gorrilamask) that someone had the genius idea of posting online.



Imagine going on a date with this guy? He would probably invite you back to his place, but would keep disappearing and coming back, and you would think he was just going to the bathroom, until you followed him one time and realized that he kept going back to to spray air freshener on a decomposing corpse locked in his closet.

you people make me sick.

As some of you may have heard, recently TMZ.com released a clip from a stolen sex tape starring aspiring model Ranae Shrider, and Verne Troyer, who played "Mini-Me" in the Austin Powers films. Now this really gets my goat. Only in America would people have the audacity to mockingly joke about a special loving relationship between two consenting adults just because one of those people happens to have a tiny, tiny body. Absolutely disgusting. There is nothing funny at all about the following pictures:







Nope, not funny in the slightest.

I found these here.

...you strap some wheels onto a puppy with no front legs.

the Joker is going to be creepy as fuck.

Its been around 6 months, and I am still shocked about Heath Ledger's death. I don't know why it affected me so much, he was just such a young guy and a really great actor. I have a lot of respect for actors, I think its a really tough profession to succeed in, and its probably really difficult to be any good at it. So it really sucks that he died at such a young age, as he definitely had a lot of great work left in him. Anyways I'm really excited to see his performance in the Dark Knight, even though I imagine its going to creep the hell out of me. I have a theory that he is going to get nominated for a posthumous Oscar, just because of the amount of publicity about the part, and the tragic nature of his death. I may be speaking a little too soon here considering all I've seen is a few clips from the trailer, but if that happens, remember that I mentioned it here. Anyways, here is a link to one of the only interviews he ever gave about the role. Its pretty interesting.

trailer mashups make me smile.

One of my favourite things that the internet, in all its infinite wisdom, has blessed us with is the movie trailer mashup. For some reason I get a real kick out of people who recut trailers to make them seem like completely different films than they actually are. Here are some of my favourites.

this is a pretty new one, the epic action adventure blockbuster, Superbad:



the devastating human drama about a day in the life of troubled teen Ferris Bueller, Requiem for a Day Off:



the terrifying suspense / thriller about loneliness, stalking, and potential violence in the big city, When Harry Met Sally:



And finally, my personal favourite, the heartwarming romantic comedy, Shining:



Despite some really high hopes, I was mildly disappointed with the Tarantino / Rodriguez 70's movie-geek dick measuring contest, Grindhouse. I really liked Death Proof, and I thought Planet Terror was just ok. To me, the best part of either movie was the fake trailers that they played between them. The best one of the bunch is Edgar Wright's Don't. He is one of my absolute favourite directors, and I would gladly shell out 12 bucks to see Don't, which if it actually existed, would probably be one of the most incredible movies ever made.

don't sleep on Seagal.

You know what would lighten up the mood of this blog a little bit? This Japanese commercial for a Steven Seagal dvd boxed-set.



yeah...that'll do nicely.
