The American Gangster is a black man? How modern. ‘American Gangster’ a tale of Frank Lucas’s life, a drug lord who smuggled heroin into Harlem in coffins of soldiers returning from Vietnam in the 70s’ is coming out November 2, 2007. It’s no surprise that a film such as this would have a high profile black man such as Denzel Washington playing Lucas. Supposedly Washington even bought Lucas a Rolls-Royce after filming this movie. A bunch of big names from the hip-hop world are in this movie as well, once again no big surprise. It’s not uncommon for rappers to be apart of films like this. Common, T.I., and RZA are a part of the project and let’s not forget Russell Crowe playing Ritchie Roberts.
There’s just a flood of buddy-comedy shows on the internets (thee webisodes). There’s Clark and Michael and a million others. The Mimi & Flo Show is different. After every episode you get to choose which direction the girls go into. It’s kind of like those Goosebump “choose your adventure” books. They’re fun & cute. They just did a remake of ‘Same Girl’ which is pretty decent.
And I must say he looks a hell of a lot better than some of you bitches up in the club! Junkie dancing will catch on soon enough. But drunk slutty dancing will never die! Long live intoxication!
Both: The distant future
The distant future
J: It is the distant future
The year 2000
B: We are robots
J: The world is very different ever since the robot uprising of the mid-90s.
There is no more unhappiness.
B: Affirmative
J: We no longer say yes. Instead we say ‘affirmative’.
B: Yes, affirmative.
J: Unless it’s a more colloquial situation with a few robo-friends.
J: There is only one kind of dance, the robot
B: And the robo-boogie
J: Oh yes. Two kinds of dances.
Both: Finally, robotic beings rule the world
The humans are dead
The humans are dead
We used poisonous gases
And we poisoned there asses
B: The humans are dead
J: That’s right they are dead
B: The humans are dead
J: They look like they’re dead
B: It had to be done
J: I’ll just confirm that they’re dead
B: So that we could have fun
J: Affirmative. I poked one. It was dead.
So, you’re leaving, aren’t you?
I knew it when you said just then when you told me you were leaving
That’s when I definitely knew
But if you’re trying to break my heart
Your plan is flawed from the start
You can’t break my heart, it’s liquid
It melted when I met you
And as you turn around to leave
Don’t’ turn back to me
Don’t turn around and see if I’m crying
I’m not crying
I’m not crying
It’s just been raining on my face
And if you think you see some tear tracks down my face
Please don’t tell my mates
I’m not crying
No, I’m not crying
And if I am crying
It’s not because of you
It’s because I’m thinking of a friend of mine who you don’t know who is dying
That’s right, dying
These aren’t tears of sadness because you’re leaving me
I’ve just been cutting onions
I’m making a lasagna
For one
Oh, I’m not crying
No
There’s just a little bit of dust in my eye
That’s from the path that you made when you said your goodbye
I’m not weeping because you won’t be here to hold my hand
For your information there’s an inflammation in my tear gland
I’m not upset because you left me this way
My eyes are just a little sweaty today
They’ve been seaching around
They’re like searching for you
They’ve been looking around
Even though I told them not to
These aren’t tears of sadness
They’re tears of joy
I’m just laughing
Ha ha ha-ha ha
Sitting at this table called love
Staring down at the irony of life
How come we’ve reached this fork in the road
And yet it cuts like a knife?
I’m not crying
I’m not crying
I’m not cry-y-y-y-
-y-y-y-y-ing
Flight of the Conchords is a comedy/parody series that follows two musicians/comedians Jemaine and Bret who have uprooted themselves from New Zeleand to NYC to try and achieve fame and success. Occasionally they break into song to develop plot or to express themselves when they can not out loud. It’s on HBO, it’s hilarious. Music and comedy? Holy shit, you’ve got a hit! It’s pretty genius in it’s entirety.
Looking at the room, I can tell that you.
Are the most beautiful girl in the…room.
(In the whole wide room).
And when you’re on the street, depending on the street.
I bet you are definitely in the top 3.
Good lookin girls on the street.
(Depending on the streets).
And when I saw you at my man’s place.
I thought…what, is she, doing…at my man’s place.
How did he get a hottie like that to a party like this?
Good one, Dave.
(Ooh, you’re a LEGEND, Dave).
I asked Dave if he’s going to move on you.
He’s not sure.
“Dave, do you mind if I do?”
He says he doesn’t mind.
But I can tell he kind of minds.
But I’m going to do it anyway.
I see you standing all alone by the stereo.
I dim the lights down very low.
You’re so beautiful.
You could be a waitress.
You’re so beautiful.
You could be a air hostess in the 60s.
You’re so beautiful.
You could be a part-time model.
But then I seal the deal, I do my moves.
I do my dance moves.
Lets travel through, just me and you.
As other dudes around you on the dance floor.
I draw you near, lets get out of here.
Lets get in a cab. I’ll buy you a kabob.
I can’t believe. I’m sharing a kabob.
With the most beautiful girl I have ever seen with a kabob.
Oh, why don’t we leave?
Lets go to my house.
We can feel each other up on the couch.
Oh no, I don’t mind taking it slow.
Cause you’re so beautiful…
Like a tree. Or a high class prostitute.
You’re so beautiful.
You could be a part time model.
But you’d probably still have to keep your normal job.
A part time model.
Spend part of your time modeling.
And part of your time next to me.
It’s the no-name movie trailer they have been playing before Transformers in theaters.
Some say it’s a Godzilla movie, maybe that’s because we are looking up as if it’s something tall and the dinosaur-like screeches that can be heard. Another guess is that since this is a film by JJ Abrams (the Lost guy) this movie is another part of the Lost franchise and this is what happens to the rest of the world after blowing up the hatch on the island. The noises sound a lot like the monster on Lost and this would certainly put Lost on the map forever. Why does the Statue of Liberty’s head freak everyone out? What I’ve learned is this:
-Could possibly be called “Cloverfield”
-It’s a sort of mix of War of the Worlds & The Blair Witch Project
- Possibly the premise is a giant alien known as “The Parasite” invades Earth and it is filmed entirely with handheld cameras.
-The movie isn’t even done filming and the trailer was filmed before the movie was finished. Not much is known about the movie, and it has been widely regarded as a secret movie and Cloverfield may be a temporary title.
-People also think it could be a remake of ‘The Host’
-Rumored to be a secret Godzilla movie (setting is in New York/references to Japan (the Rob character is moving to Japan the day after the teaser is set).
-Some think there’s a connection to Voltron. Voltron is a shape-changing robot from the 80’s tv series “Voltron: Defender of the Universe.”
-”Anyboy see it? What is it?”
“I saw it. It’s alive, it’s huge.” People think he says “I saw it. It’s a lion, it’s huge.” And that would go right along with the Voltron rumor.
A torrent of hipster feedback: The commentary on our hipster condemnation has been thoughtful and immense. Read the whole slew of responses.
A hipstory: View a timeline on how this monster was created.
Hipster quiz: The first sign of hipsterdom is self-denial. Take our quiz and get your hipster rating.
Cool or played out?: We name 20 recent hipster markers; you vote on whether they have any cool value left.
Name that hipster: The train that cuts across the greatest swath of hipsterdom is not the L—God, that’s so two years ago—it’s the G. See if you can match these swingin’ youth to the stop where we caught them.
Hipster detox: Full assessment: After two weeks of ditching his Union Pool-and-Proust lifestyle, our resident cool guy breaks down his new life as a “reg.”
True originals: To look at them, you wouldn’t think these New Yorkers are hip. But then you find out what they did last night. We asked an octogenarian jazz maven, an avant-garde dance critic and Russell Simmons’s artist brother about NYC cool.
Cool as shhh: The truly “hip” stuff is unpretentious and off the radar—until TONY reports it and ruins everything. So we thought we’d make amends with these blind-item tips.
Straight out the hoods of New York, here comes: Kid America: The TV Show that they won’t put on TV! It’s a funny kick-ass variety show. Their site is amazing actually. Where else can you find a rap crew and hipsters? On the site you can actually watch different shows and/or listen to music featured on the site. The TV Room is full of podcasts that you can download to your ipod. There are lots and lots of fun interesting episodes to download. I’m serious, there’s some banging shit on there.
