someone please put this song in a skate video

since my retirement from making skate videos, i often come across songs so well suited for a video part that i dream about dusting off the .3 and getting back in the game. alas, however, that time has passed, so in my attempt to live vicariously though the skate video-makers of the day, i’ll occasionally suggest songs for other peoples videos.

so with that said, if no one has already put this in a video, please do. imagine this as an intro to a team video? negrete? lonnie? jan? aj? any takers?

someone’s taken the time to upload Paul Thomas Anderson’s first film “cigarettes and coffee” to vimeo.

it’s always fascinating to me to see where people get started, maybe you’ll think the same.

tantrum

it’s been no secret that Christian Bale has a short temper, and over the years has garnered himself the nickname ‘tantrum’ on many a film set. here’s some audio of his latest meltdown.

HACK THE PLANET

“Austin drivers making their morning commute were in for a surprise when two road signs on a busy stretch of road were taken over by hackers…[the signs] usually warn drivers about upcoming construction, but Monday morning they warned of  “zombies ahead.”

Academy award winning screenwriter Christopher McQuarrie sat down with Jeff Goldsmith, the senior editor for Creative Screenwriting Magazine for one of their regular podcasts.

The wonderfully verbose McQuarrie talks about breaking into the game, the creation and production of his amazing collaboration with childhood friend Bryan Singer, The Usual Suspects , his directorial debut, Way of the Gun, his latest picture Valkyrie, and everything else in between.

be forewarned, this is 2 hours long, but for anyone with an inkling of interest in screenwriting, this is wildly fascinating.

Feltron Eight, Oh Eight.

in addition to being a fantastic designer, recent ADC “young gun” award winner, nicholas felton has made a name for himself as one of the most fastidious life-trackers, publishing annual reports of what his life entails.

his most recent report, detailing his ’08, include his eating and drinking habits, auditory and literary consumption, and mile by mile tracking of where his time was spent. (note his worst meal, at the university hospital building burger king in salt lake city. (nick, I could have told you that and saved you the stomach ache))

and, as if this all isn’t enough for his plate, he’s in a beta release of Daytum, a site that will allow users to track their lives and display them in his exceptional aesthetic.

you can view the report online here, and buy this and previous annual reports here.

Kim Jong Il(L)

now Kim Jong Il, the leader of volatile North Korea, has been known by many names. War monger, self-proclaimed: “Supreme Commander of the Korean People’s Army”, epic propaganda photograph-taker (see above), “internet expert”, finger-on-the-nuclear-button-haver, relentless-hennessy-drinker (he reportedly drinks $650k-720k worth of hennessy a year.) but most recently, heart-disease-and-diabetes-sufferer.

In addition, Kim Jong Il commands the fifth largest army in the world, and is so adored by his country and followers that his birthday is the most celebrated holiday in all of north korea.

But something you may not know about ole’ Kim-bo, is that he’s also a rampant movie watcher. boasting a collection of some 20,000 DVDs, Kim Jong Il’s favorites include, Friday the 13th, (scary) Amistad, (ironic) First Blood (i didn’t know anyone had even seen that), and Gone With The Wind (really?).

Apparently, Kimmie’s film fanaticism is so sincere, that he kidnapped his favorite South Korean director, Sang-ok Shin, and kept him in near captivity as they produced a horror film together.

Now if all of this isn’t strange enough for you, consider this, Kim-tina published a 344 page book, “On The Art of Cinema”

An excerpt, as I couldn’t dream of writing this well:

“Films should contain musical masterpieces like these,” referring to a film he ‘commissioned’ aptly titled “Sea of Blood”, “the fusion of noble ideas and burning passion.”

“Actors must be ideologically prepared before acquiring high-level skills…No revolutionary actor has ever actually been a Japanese policeman or capitalist . . . To effectively embody the hateful enemy, the actor requires an ardent love of his class and a burning hostility towards the enemy.”

orly?

All of this aside, here’s to Kim Jong Il, as he snuggles up on the couch and watches a bootleg dvd of Marley and Me, fighting off his potentially lethal diseases. Get better soon Kim Jong, and let’s make some more movies!

real life!

LOST IS TWO WEEKS AWAY

SPOILER ALERT!

new romances on the island this season!

ok that’s my last gif for today

cheer up mike shanahan!

so mike shanahan hasn’t been having the greatest few weeks.

first, his denver broncos get knocked out of playoff contention by the sandiego chargers in a disgusting 52-21 pummeling.

then, after 13 years with the bronco’s he loses his head coach job, and has a totally awkward press conference.

then i started thinking, i wonder if this all has to do with the fact that he ALWAYS LOOKS UPSET?

actually, as i was making this i found a disturbing picture of him smiling. (i did not make the goofy clipping path)

CREEPSVILLE! stay mad shanahan, smiling is not a good look for you. and don’t worry! there’s always a job with the detroit lions.
