THEY DON'T END MOVIES LIKE THIS ANYMORE...

Flames.
Swing music.
A swimming pool.
Esther Williams.

What more do you need?

THE RING... AS PERFORMED BY CHIMPS

It's kinda cute and kinda creepy at the same time. Oy! What will those Japanese come up with next?

30 ROCK... THE PORNO

Nothing says "success" like a porn send-up.

AMERICAN PSYCHO meets THIS MUST BE THE PLACE

As far as homage music videos go this one is the sh%t.

Miles Fisher is a lesser-known actor who does a great job of evoking Christian Bale's iconic performance.

He also did a great job of sending up Tom Cruise in the execrable Superhero Movie.

Anywho, I like this video and I like the cover tune. Check it out... please.

Jesus H Christ!

I always wondered what the "H" was for.

Anywho...

In the sprawling suburb of Livonia, MI, there's a city council race and apparently bat-shit crazy Glenn Moon is running for office. Now, I've never met Glenn but after watching his campaign video I feel fairly confident in my assessment that he's part of insane party.

INGMAR BERGMAN - IN PRAISE OF COMMERCIALS

These are courtesy of my friend Steffen. Supposedly Bergman called these commercials by director Roy Andersson the best in the world. Not sure I'd go that far but I certainly do like 'em!

MOLLY RINGWALD: ON JOHN HUGHES

The star of Sixteen Candles (and the girl I had a serious crush on when I was 18) writes a poignant and moving editorial about John Hughes. Damn, I have a crush all over again.

Read it here.

WAY COOL COMMERCIAL...

I think it's for the French Postal Service. Forgive me, I don't speak French. Still, watch the Mac laptop turn into a cool-ass spaceship.

A WOODEN MIRROR

Freaky and incredible. Watch the video then go to this site to learn how it works.

I really really want to see one of these up close. I also imagine a cool music video using the wooden images is in the works.

80's POP MEETS RAGTIME

If you ever wondered what "Don't You Love Me" would sound like if Scott Joplin wrote it, wonder no more...

OKAY THIS IS CREEPY...

The video is called Fucking Hell. It's by British conceptual artists Jake and Dinos Chapman, who created this lovely sculpture. Check it out.

APPARENTLY BEN STILLER IS REALLY EXCITED TO JOIN FOX STUDIOS

When you're as rich as he is you can blow a whole lotta cash on stuff like this...

DIAMOND DAVE GOES BLUEGRASS

Van Halen the way it was meant to be heard... as Ozark-ified goodness. Man, I can't wait for the album... Strummin With The Devil.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT ROTTWEILER SAID...

...but it sure pissed off that cat.

(hey, I'm back from vacation and ready to post!)
