Pizza Boomerang!

  • January 12, 2012 2:12 am

I want to live in a world where a Latino god from the heavens throws a pizza boomerang towards Earth as it hurtles at tremendous speeds to serve, protect, and entice us with all its pizza goodness.YouTube Preview Image That ain’t tomato sauce splattering all over that girl’s face. Oh, and that streaker who exposed himself had it coming!

Sofa Experience Communications, an outfit based in Spain, created this ingenious spot. I have no idea if Pizza Boomerang actually exists as a restaurant chain, but one can hope. In the meantime, you’ll just have to enjoy the majesty of Pizza Boomerang over at the official website.

Was Sung “Shanghaied” By TMZ?

  • April 1, 2011 1:23 am

So, many of your readers out there may have seen this circulate around the Interwebs today; a clip of fellow Offender Sung Kang on TMZ in a segment called “Ask the Asian Guy,” where you know the usual kung-fu tom foolery occurs. If you didn’t catch it, then hey, why don’t you get up to speed right here: YouTube Preview Image OK, what did you all think? For me, it was a pretty lame segment, which really didn’t amount to anything, kind of like TMZ in general. It’s a telling commentary about today’s society that people actually give a shit about, well, shit like this. I’ve watched a couple of TMZ episodes after the late night news, and I gotta tell ya, it’s really amounting to absolutely nothing. I hate the whole way it is shot with a bunch of posers with quick cuts in a so-called “newsroom” with some Perry White dweeb who is fishing for the biggest dish around LaLa-Land. And 100% of the time, the hot gossip is absolutely pointless, just some random shot of Rihanna coming out of a restaurant, covering her face and getting into a black SUV with some unknown people and driving away. Thrilling! I pretty much described every single “news” segment ever broadcasted on TMZ.  Read more...

Greatest SIMPSONS intro ever

  • October 11, 2010 12:42 am

Update 2: Well, my Youtube link was taken down quickly by Fox. Updated with the official Hulu version, but only viewable within the U.S. (thanks Anson!)

Update: EW did an interview with THE SIMPSONS producer Al Jean, and he talks about how Banksy got involved.

For two things: First off, the Banksy tags. Oh, you don’t know who Banksy is? Then you have to catch Exit Through The Gift Shop, one of the best documentaries of the year. Secondly, the great jab at the show’s actual animators, who many of you know is done overseas in South Korea. Well, who knew the conditions were like this?

Beat It (Chinese Communist Party Version)

  • August 15, 2010 7:01 pm

We all know that China has some major might. They can move mountains and do what they want when it comes to increasing the size of their economy, the Beijing Olympics, climate change, you name it. China reveres its rich, cultural history, even rewriting it for that matter. Check out this revised version of Michael Jackson’s BEAT IT: YouTube Preview Image

Of course this is all in jest. The clips are from Long March Song Cycle. The Long March was a massive military retreat undertaken by the Red Army of the Chinese Communist Party, under the eventual command of Mao Zedong and Zhou Enlai, escaped in a circling retreat to the west and north, which reportedly traversed some 12,500 kilometers (8,000 miles) over 370 days. Since the establishment of the People’s Republic of China in 1949, the Long March has been glorified as an example of the Communist Party’s strength and resilience. The Long March Song Cycle was first performed in 1966.  Read more...

Short Film Spotlight: FORKLIFT DRIVER KLAUS

  • August 12, 2010 3:52 pm

I haven’t done a Short Film Spotlight in awhile and I was so excited to see this cult classic finally pop up online that I had to share it with you guys.

But I digress first, to quickly plug our Interpretations Short Film Initiative, that’s been getting some interesting film entries. The deadline is looming, so get your films submitted for a chance to win cash prizes and industry exposure!

OK, now that’s out of the way, this Spotlight highlights a faux safety film called FORKLIFT DRIVER KLAUS: THE FIRST DAY ON THE JOB written and directed by Stefan Prehn and Jorg Wagner. It stars Klaus, an eager but inept forklift driver on his first day on the job. Ignoring some basic safety rules, gory situations ensue, in all it’s cheesy glory. Now, if you’re not a fan of early Peter Jackson movies, or you can’t stomach, say films like Re-Animator or The Machine Girl, then stay away.  So, this is the last warning if you don’t like to see needless, but yet oh so ingenious, evisceration, then stay away! Watch FORKLIFT DRIVER KLAUS after the jump.  Read more...

Movies R Fun

  • June 5, 2010 7:50 pm

Remember those Little Golden Books, those cutesy children’s books about poky puppies and happy dump truck drivers?  Well, Pixar story artist Josh Cooley, over the last two years, drew scenes from mostly Rated R movies in the style of the famous children’s book series. And now, he’s finally made a limited run of first prints, with an eventual book compilation to follow at his online store. It’s so weird to see these scenes done in the matter of See Spot Run. Can you guess which movies they’re from?

Academy Award Winning Movie Trailer

  • March 27, 2010 1:10 am

This is a little late since the Academy Awards has already past, but whatever. I’m sharing this pretty funny ode to all the cliches in a Hollywood movie trailer that is trying way too hard for awards love, by presenting them in “placeholder” speak, ranging from the prerequisite mental illness, to the hotshot who is on a spiritual journey, to even a little gayness. It’s pretty spot on, especially with the use of the theme from Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story. Enjoy, and have a good weekend, YOMYOMFers!  YouTube Preview Image Check out comedy duo Britanick’s channel for more funny videos. “Laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh,laugh…….”

Dispatch from Berlin: Take a Chance on Jackie Chan

  • February 19, 2010 3:05 am

Guten tag from Berlin! I’m currently wrapping up my annual jaunt at the Berlinale (Berlin Film Festival). Watched a lot of films and warming up my lower extremities because of one of the coldest winters in Berlin in a decade. For such a well run, beautiful place with rich history, their city services in salting sidewalks and streets is left to be desired. The sidewalks are ice rinks and many people have slipped and fell around the festival. A poor Indian film buyer actually broke his leg on his first day at the fest and had to travel back to India the next day because he was immobile.  Read more...
