Favorite Video Friday – Dancing

This Week: Dancing

Robert Palmer – Simply Irresistible

This video is classic. Love the cheesy sound effects right before the hook.

The Avalanches – Since I Left You

I’ve been looking for an excuse to show this video for a long time now. I haven’t seen an Avalanches video I don’t like yet.

Samim – Heater

This video makes me miss the New York summer.

This Week in Movies – 4/21/08

Monday, April 21, 2008

In Theaters Friday:

  • Baby Mama – Tina Fey hires Amy Poehler as her own personal incubator. In other news, my wife has a platonic woman crush on Tina Fey and I’m perfectly okay with that.
  • Deception – Wolverine plays a lawyer who introduces young Obi Wan to an underground sex club. Sounds like good clean family fun.
  • Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay – Harold and Kumar are mistaken for terrorists on their way to Amsterdam. Neil Patrick Harris ensues

On Video Tuesday:

  • Cloverfield – Monster movies enter the world of YouTube. Interesting concept, but probably would have been better on the big screen.
  • Charlie Wilson’s War – A congressman, a CIA agent, and a Houston socialite go into a bar. The Cold War ends. Schlotsky’s! Starring Tom Hanks, Philip Seymour Hoffman, and Julia Roberts. This one’s already in the Netflix queue.
  • The Savages – Philip Seymour Hoffman and Laura Linney are dysfunctional siblings who must come together when their father becomes senile. I didn’t realize Hoffman made so many movies last year.

Favorite Video Friday – Breakdancing

Friday, April 18, 2008

Before I get started, I have to share this video I found that should have been in last week’s puppet edition:

Escort – All Through the Night

It seriously doesn’t get any more awesome than that. Sorry Weezer, you just got out Muppeted.

Now on to this weeks Favorite Video Friday feature – Breakdancing:

Dirty Vegas – Days Go By

If only I had the skills to dedicate my life to breakdancing into the heart of the one I love.

Crystal Method – Name of the Game

Creepy? Yes. Awesome? Absolutely. I think the boombox (a.k.a. ghetto blaster) needs to make a comeback.

Kid Sister – Pro Nails (Feat. Kanye West)

I don’t care how ridiculous it is, that hook is hott! And breakdancing finger-people? Genius.

Stumbling Through the Internet Pipes

Wednesday, April 16, 2008

Stumble, Stumble, Stumble, Stumble, Stumble Chameleon

  • This guy is a professional Origami artist. I didn’t even know that existed. He has an origami portfolio website. This guy is big time.
  • This guy turned his Wiimote into a digital whiteboard. Geek factor: through the roof. Why is it that geeks always talk with their hands?
  • Whenever I start feeling like a loser, I just watch this video and realize there are people way worse than I am…. Actually, that’s kind of cool. I suck again.
  • I never thought I’d be linking the Ellen Degeneres show from my website, but here I go.

This Week in Movies – 4/14/08

Monday, April 14, 2008

In Theaters Friday:

  • The Forbidden Kingdom – Jackie Chan and Jet Li together at last as they try to free the Monkey King. I think I’ll wait for video.
  • 88 Minutes – Al Pacino has 88 minutes to live. Poor Al Pacino. That’s exactly how long it took him to destroy his career.
  • Forgetting Sarah Marshall – The tall guy from Freaks and Geeks can’t get over the lightning girl from Heroes until the annoying girl from That 70s Show comes around. Another Judd Apatow flick. Could be funny, but I’m not paying 20 bucks to find out.

In Select Theaters Friday:

On Video Tuesday:

  • Juno – I liked it, but I don’t think I’ll buy it.
  • Lars and the Real Girl – The movie that should have won the Best Original Screenplay Oscar. I will buy this movie. Probably my favorite movie that came out last year.
  • Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead – Ethan Hawke and Philip Seymour Hoffman plot to rob their parents’ store when times get tough. Things go wrong. A thriller ensues. Could be interesting.
  • Alien vs. Predator: Requiem – Aliens fighting Predators: Requiem. I don’t even know what that word means, but neither does most of this movie’s target audience.
