hammy’s crash

Last night was Top Gear’s season premiere on BBC. The last 12 minute segment was their interview with Richard Hammond, and the footage of his record breaking jet car speed run of 314MPH along with the other record breaking, and nearly neck-breaking, crash at 288MPH. This is an incredibly great segment. Jeremy Clarkson handles situation […]

get the chronic ready…

I won’t ruin this by telling you what it is in advance. Only 2 or 3 of you will care. Those same 2 or 3 people will start making phone calls to ensure that they have the right quality of weed lined up for the day of this movie’s release. I had no idea this […]

The Wire

Just spent the last 4 hours watching the last 4 episodes of Season 4 of The Wire. That brings me fully up-to-date and I can now officially say I have seen every single episode. I can also officially say that this is one of the best shows ever on TV. Seriously. This show is fantastic. […]

borat

When I was in NY just a little over a week ago, I was able to squeeze in Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan on the afternoon of the day it opened. Like just about everyone else, I LOVED the movie. I’ve been a big fan of the Ali […]

the gold monkey

“Do you remember this show from the 80’s? ‘Jake and the Gold Monkey’ I think it was called…” I asked. “It was the dad from 7th Heaven. He had this awesome sea plane with the wing on top and two engines. I think he had a monkey.”
Everyone vaguely remembers. They vaguely remember the young Stephen […]

make love, not warcraft

Trey Parker and Matt Stone did something fantastically nerdy and extraordinary this week. They made machinima (the art of creating videos by using in-game avatars as actors) mainstream by dedicating the first episode of this season’s South Park to World of Warcraft addiction, and brilliantly acting out all of the main character in-game. As you […]

Ben Folds covers Such Great Heights

On some Australian music TV channel, Ben Folds, and maybe the rest of the Five, cover the Postal Service’s, Such Great Heights (from the Garden State soundtrack), live, in one take, using a piano, a wine glass, and a towel covered mailbox. Absolutely insane.

I know I’m late to the party on this, but I don’t […]

up close and reptilian

Here is Skype, getting bigger, but still very tiny, stuck up on the wall. In the second photo you can make out the little gooey pads on the bottom of his foot. Click to zoom.

I want to crush his little Sleestack head. Doesn’t he look like a Sleestack? You know, from Land of the Lost? […]

Superman tries to retire, but not if Mr.T has anything to say about it. Genius.

old tyme baseball

Conan O’Brien is still funny. I had no idea. Please watch this video of Conan playing baseball, old tyme style, ala 1864, with some folks who like to dress up and talk funny. It’s hilarious.
