50 Cent Casting New Film on Craigslist

// Friday, November 6th, 2009 by bhoffman

Making its way around the web today is this Craigslist ad seeking actors for a new 50 Cent film. They are casting quite a few parts. See if you can spot the typing errors below (hint: “50″ seems to be spelled correctly.)

Keep in mind, if you’re interested and you think you’ve got the goods, they are “seking maels to protry gang member.”

Eighties nerds are contemporary hipsters

Yesterday I watched The Last American Virgin, at the suggestion of Eli Roth. Okay, he didn’t personally suggest it, but he did say it was one his five favorite films on the Rotten Tomatoes Show. I liked the film. It starts as a madcap comedy, and then like an Apatow production, it turns into melodrama. Film scholars could write for hours about the liberal attitude towards drunk driving, the boner contest, or the bleakness of the ending, but I’m no film scholar.

The most striking thing to me about this film was in the depiction of nerds. I didn’t pick up who was supposed to be the butt of jokes, because I didn’t know that the nerds were nerds.

Six Flags underwater

// Wednesday, September 23rd, 2009 by Josh Heller

Flooding in the southeastern US has put Six Flags over Georgia under water.

If you drive north from Los Angeles, you’ll pass Six Flags Magic Mountain. I always think of the intro to the 90s sitcom Step By Step, because they filmed the intro there. I’m thinking about this now, because the producers of the show superimposed a lake over the parking lot.

That was mega-movie-magic, this is nature’s take on compositing.

What could’ve been the context of this statement?

Ernie Anastos: “Keep fucking that chicken”

It takes a tough man to make a tender forecast Nick

I guess that’s me.

Keep fucking that chicken.

This reminds me of a film I once saw…

Joe Wilson

// Friday, September 11th, 2009 by Josh Heller

It’s pretty ballsy to dis the president while he’s talking. Joe Wilson, a representative from South Carolina, actually had the balls to yell “you lie!” to Obama.

What kind of future can we expect, when even our legislators don’t respect procedure? It seems like we’ll be living in an idocracy. Oh wait, it already seems like we are:
