Called Upon



This clip features Barats & Bereta as missionaries spreading "the good word". It shows just how hard it is to get the attention of sinners, non-believers, and even Bush supporters. I never went on a mission, myself. But I have a feeling that it would have been a lot like this clip, but way less funny.

 

He's What?



Well, at least she knew something was wrong with him. I have watched this clip about a hundred times and still can't quite figure out what she was thinking.

New Music To Save Your Ass To...


While I am moving and you are on your knees... I thought I would let you all in on my new top secret project. I have been working on the first official Saviour Onassis album and posted a sneak peek over on myspace for you all to hear. Let me know what you think and remember: We are all rockstars!

Who Put the "O" in Ohio?


The Oh In Ohio is a new film starring Parker Posey, Paul Rudd, Liza Minnelli and Danny Devito. It's all about how a frigid Posey pushes her husband into the arms of a younger woman, only to have a sexual awakening of her own. I love Parker Posey and this seems like a lot of fun. How often do you get a chance to see Liza say "vagina" while wearing a blond wig? I will tell you, it's not often. The trailer looks really good. I just thought I would share.

This is the official site: The Oh In Ohio

Stevie Nicks' Fajita Roundup

This is my favorite Saturday Night Live skit of all time. Lucy Lawless, aka XENA, as Stevie Nicks.



"Now there you go again, you say you want burritos...
I sure hope you can keep them down...
It's only a flour tortilla used to wrap around your meat, now...
Have you any beans you'd like to sell?"

Snakes On A Poster

Alright, kids. This is the teaser poster for the upcoming Samuel L. Jackson epic called Snakes On A Plane. If I have to explain what the movie is about, what's the point? All the information you need is there.

This poster is iconic and brilliant, serving up exactly what you would expect. But now it seems that the official "final" artwork for the movie poster has leaked onto the web. (Thank you to the folks over at Snakes On A Blog.)

My first impression was: Whoa! Nice 70's style exploitation flick poster. I actually have quite a fetish for these. Check out Trash: The Graphic Genius of Xploitation Movie Posters, it's a fabulous coffee table book, sure to start conversations about guilty pleasures and the nature of exploitation flicks in general. Anyway, at first I was down with the poster, until I started to look a little closer.



Where are the motherf*cking snakes?

You made a movie called Snakes On A Plane and didn't put any motherf*cking snakes on the motherf*cking poster?

What the f*ck is wrong with you people?

No one is going to see this movie because it will have screaming blond chicks, or freaked out pilots, or well lit overhead compartments!

We want to see this movie because of Samuel L. Motherf*cking Jackson and a bunch of goddamn deadly ass killer SNAKES ON A MOTHERF*CKING PLANE!!!!

Even the dumbass poster for Black Cobra is better than that. Sure, they substitute a python for a cobra (and a bra!) but at least they had the good sense to put a SNAKE on it!


And what's up with that tagline?
Sit back. Relax. Enjoy the fright.

What about these:
Sssstill the ssssafest way to travel... or

Available seating near the tail... or

In the event of an emergency, SCREAM!

Anyway, I'm still gonna see it no matter what the poster looks like.

We've Got POE!

I recently asked the universe, via Genius to Spare whatever happened to POE? Well, I got my answer thanks to Mellowlee of Melz Wurld. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

This is a screenshot of Poe's video blog, which resides on her myspace profile. This is the real deal, kids. Check it out. Poe promises that we will all see her "sooner than you think." I couldn't be happier that she is nearing the end of her five and a half year hallway...

In case you aren't familiar with her work, POE is a brilliant singer and songwriter who recorded two albums and then disappeared. Her brother is the writer, Mark Z. Danielewski, who constructed the incredible House of Leaves and has a new book due in the fall. I have so much respect and love for these siblings and I am jazzed right out of my special hotel about the prospect of their imminent return.

Please Don't Ignore Her

I apologize for the lameness of the last clip I posted. I was in a mood.

JR and I were perusing some of my favorite clips and we discovered the holy grail of youtube! Meet Nikki, from the British television show "Big Brother 7". This is the best thing I have seen in a long time. For people without access to the BBC, I suggest this collection of over 300 clips from the show on YouTube. Thank you, Artynmay! We sat in front of my computer for over three hours watching things like this:
