This Looks Easy Enough

I’m sure this video is pretty popular on YouTube, but imagine how popular it would have been if he had slipped and did a sailor’s dive into the pavement. That’s what you get for trying to jump from one slippery roof to another.

The Greatest Shootouts in Movie History

I think the shootout from Heat is the unanimous choice for best shootout in movie history. It’s an extremely compelling scene. No music, just REALLY LOUD GUNSHOTS and great camerawork. Michael Mann, the director, had the guns fitted with microphones so that the sound of the gunshots felt louder and clearer. The reloading and tactical decisions the actors make are perfect.

I’d like to nominate the gunfight from A Better Tomorrow 2 as an honorable mention. Maybe the word greatest should be replaced with funniest. Random samurai swords are always the great equalizer.

Black Friday Sale @ Homage

This year Homage is offering $20 T-shirts until Saturday. That’s right, every single T-shirt is available for $20 each with flat rate shipping of $5. I have heard a few Homage related rumors this week. First is that Homage founder Ryan Vesler has joined the OSU Women’s basketball practice squad and the other is that Homage will have a pop-up booth inside the Schottenstein arena for all the OSU basketball home games. I hope they are both true.

Alive and Well

In Fist of Fury, Bruce Lee plays Chen Zhen, a young student who returns home for the funeral of his venerable sifu, Huo Yuanjia, who has died under mysterious circumstances. A rival Japanese academy are the only suspects…

Rita’s O-Gee Photos

It’s been a loooooong time since I threw up pictures from O-Gee/Get Right/Whatever. Rita has been kind enough to send over the photos from last weekend at O-Gee. I’m pretty sure we’ll have these after every event she attends, so big ups to Rita!

Check the rest of the photos after the jump…

Incredible Cigar Box Juggling

One thing Columbus lacks is talented street performers. I have seen a few at Easton over the years, but the Short North is full of acoustic guitars and bongo drums. No one has this kind of authentic showmanship anymore, and If I ever get the chance to witness what happened at 2:30 (unbelievable) in real life, I’ll literally shit my pants.

The Muppets: Bohemian Rhapsody

The Muppets were such a huge part of my childhood. I love this video, but the Beaker cameo really steels the show. Beaker is widely accepted as the greatest muppet character of all-time and if you disagree with this statement, you must not have been home schooled.

Bangs – Take U To Da Movies (Live)

You may or may not be familiar with the original video that went viral a while back. I thought it was fake until I stumbled on www.Bangs8.com. Someone was smart enough to book Bangs for a show, who came with a live band (drummer) instead of a DJ. Tough.

Andy Samberg and Reba McEntire – SNL Digital Short

I stopped thinking these were funny after the “Iran so Far” one with the dude from Maroon 5. They seemed like they were trying to hard and it just wasn’t working for me. I decided to watch this one this morning and I actually liked it. Hilarious if you ask me.

LET THE BODIES HIT THE FLOOR

Going West

Going West is a beautiful short film illustrating the worlds in a book, incorporating papercraft to make something dreamlike and wonderful. It was animated by Andersen M Studio.

YOU CAN’T DO THAT WITH A KINDLE.

Fantastic Mr. Fox

I’m a huge fan of Wes Anderson films, not too sure if any of you are but whatever.  His latest film is a stop-motion adaptation of Roald Dahl’s Fantastic Mr. Fox.  The cast includes George Clooney, Meryl Streep, Bill Murray, Jason Schwartzmen and Wes Anderson.  Other films by Anderson; Bottle Rocket, Rushmoore, Royal Tenenbaums, Life Aquatic and Darjeeling Limited.

Better Than Ice Cream, Vol. 56 by Wes Keyes

Alright, I feel like this happens to me more than I would think that it should.  Usually when I’m at home I like to put my iTunes on shuffle, it’s really the only way to find things that I haven’t listened to in a while.  So, The Sleepy Jackson came up and got me wondering what the Perth, Australia group had been up to.  Well, if I would have been paying attention, I would have noticed that Sleepy Jackson frontman Luke Steele is 1/2 of the Empire Of The Sun duo, Nick Littlemore being the other.  After re-listening to the album it’s completely obvious… Nick Littlemore is also a member of Pnau and Teenager, Teenager consists of Nick and Pip Brown (aka Ladyhawke)..  Below are a couple of tracks from The Sleepy Jackson’s 2006 release One Was A Spider, One Was A Bird and a weird ass video for Teenager’s track titled “Pony” off of their recent release Thirteen.

Highlights Lowlights from Sarah Palin’s Book Signing in Columbus, Ohio

On November 20, 2009, at a Borders bookstore in Columbus, Ohio, Sarah Palin held a book signing event in support of “Going Rogue”. Palin’s supporters wanted her to run for the presidency, but they weren’t exactly sure what she’d do as president. Short on specifics, most of them were uncertain what her policy positions are. They just felt that they liked her. She’s “real”. And that the solution to all of our country’s problems—health care, energy, the deficit, unemployment, and the economy—was to cut taxes and lower spending, and Palin, they said, would solve them by doing just that.

Goalie “Intimidates,” Fails to do His Job

The odds are obviously stacked against the goalie, but that doesn’t keep him from getting his juices flowing. After a series of “intimidating cartwheels,” the goalie fails to do his job. Nothing is more rewarding than mocking your opponent after you defeat them.

46 Years Ago Today, JFK Was Assassinated

If this isn’t the greatest product ever, then I don’t know what is!

This could either feel really, really weird or really, really good. Part of me thinks it might be similar to q-tipping your ears (which is amazing), but the liquid part really throws me off. I hate when water goes up my nose at the pool, how am I supposed to voluntarily recreate that feeling???
