A special feature titled Quentin Tarantino’s Camera Angel on the recently released DVD of Quentin Tarantino’s Nazi killing masterpiece shows how fun it was to make a film about killing Nazis as soon as the cameras started rolling. The Inglorious Basterds on set “Camera Angel” featured in the special feature is longtime Tarantino crew member and film slate clapper extraordinaire Geraldine Brezca.
Unfortunately the Meet the Fockers porno bit from last week’s Between Two Ferns promo didn’t make the final cut, but fortunately for us Ben Stiller and Zach Galifianakis totally love hate each other.
Now can someone please explain to me why Between Two Ferns can’t be a real “talk show” and why Jay Leno is on the air?

Yesterday’s Pacquiao print post was truly a hit (pun sooo intended) as word got around to the artist himself, Mr. Alan Hynes. As far as I’ve seen, and I’ve done a fair share of searching, Alan’s Pacman print is one of the first and only art prints to have been created in honor of Manny Pacquiao which makes this powerful print even more of a statement. Created exclusively for Gallery 1988’s poster show, The Greatest Moments in Sports History, the print exists in an extremely limited edition run of only 80 screenprints. For a detailed look and to get ‘em while they last, click here or the pics below.
From Alan:
“I was just forwarded a link to your blog post about my Pacquiao print, I very much appreciate you talking about the print- any positive exposure for boxing and Manny Pacquiao is great in my book. I’ve attached a couple of photos which give a better look at the actual print.”
And to see more of and to purchase Alan’s elaborately rock fueled designs, please visit Gigposters.com as well as Offthewallposters.com.

If you’re a fan of the sweet science known as boxing or of the amazing Asians known as Filipinos, you most likely witnessed Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao’s dominating title defense victory over Africa’s Joshua Clottey this past weekend. Although Clottey’s defense protected him through 12 rounds and prevented him from ever getting seriously hurt by the non-stop barrage of Pacquiao punches (1231 punches thrown by the champ compared to only 399 from the challenger), the fight ended in a unanimous decision and near shutout on the judges scorecards. Next up for the people’s champ will be the fight that the world wants to see, Pacquiao versus Floyd Mayweather Jr. (Mayweather first has to defeat Shane Mosley in May) in what many consider will be the largest and most lucrative fight in the history of the sport later this year.
But you don’t have to wait months for your next Pacman fix, in fact you can own a piece of Pacquiao today as Gallery 1988 on Melrose has an exclusive limited edition screenprint by Alan Hynes for sale as part of their ongoing Greatest Moments in Sports History show (view artwork here).

Also…missed the fight? Shame on you. Watch it here in it’s full length dominance:
You never know what you’re gonna get from the Seattle based rapper/comedian/weirdo/performance artist Reggie Watts. In this case you get a whole lot of “Fuck Shit Stack”, and that’s a good thing. The music video directed by Duncan Skiles and Ben Dickinson promotes Reggie’s upcoming Comedy Central special produced by Looseworld coinciding with the release of his CD/DVD Why Shit So Crazy, in stores May 18th.

For the past week everyone’s been going on and on about Tron and I’ve been like, “Yeah, Dave Chappelle was hilarious as Tron but that was like, five years ago.” Then I saw the Tron Legacy trailer in 3D this weekend and I was like, “Ohhh yeah…The Dude Tron.”
This is not the Tron you’re looking for:
