Inglorious Basterds’ Slate Clapper Silliness

Thursday, March 18th, 2010

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.

Zach Galifianakis Does Ben Stiller Between Two Ferns

Wednesday, March 17th, 2010

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?

See more awkward awesomeness Between Two Ferns with Zach and his “friends”:

Manny “The Print” Pacquiao

Tuesday, March 16th, 2010

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:

The Dude Tron is not Chappelle Tron

Monday, March 15th, 2010

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:

This is that Tron:

Also…here’s the light cycle clip from Disney’s Comic-Con panel last year that got everyone juiced in the first place.

MONDAY (March 15): The White Stripes Under Great White Northern Lights

Friday, March 12th, 2010

On Tuesday I was fortunate enough to attend Flux’s advance screening of The White Stripes Under Great White Northern Lights, the documentary film directed by buddy Emmett Malloy and colored by our good friend and telecine artist Beau Leon. The film, which intimately chronicled the Stripes first ever tour of Canada, not only was masterfully crafted with some of the strongest performance pieces I’ve ever seen on film but it also provided both a humorous and solemn look into the intricate dynamics between Jack and Meg White.

And since I’m currently editing a film on a legendary musical act myself, I found the film to be nothing short of inspiring. A truly entertaining and poetic film for both White Stripes fans and the casual movie goer alike.

The White Stripes Under Great White Northern Lights
Monday March 15th, 7:30pm
Screening + Q&A with director Emmett Malloy
Egyptian Theater

The Emmett Malloy-directed documentary film, Under Great White Northern Lights, captured that incredible journey. On March 15th the Egyptian Theatre will host an exclusive Los Angeles theatrical screening allowing fans a peek into the touring lives of one of the world’s most enigmatic bands.”
