Baron Davis is really the best. I mean, between the beard, hipster glasses, his enormous knee brace, and one of the greatest dunks of all time, how could you not cheer for the guy? The only way we could love him more is if he grew a jheri curl and started rocking James Worthy goggles [...]
Here’s the prototype:
And here are the actual ones:
My 8-year-old-self is jumping for joy at the site of these. No word on a release date yet, but we’re guessing 2015 (duh).
Gondry sat in on drums with the garage rockers while some cuh-razy animation was projected against the wall. Also, a marima is involved. Just watch.
Adam Yauch/MCA/Nathaniel Hornblower/Cochise is currently promoting his streetball documentary, “Gunnin’ For That Number 1 Spot” and will be stopping by Current TV’s L.A. studios to answer any and all viewer questions. Ask him anything. A-na-thang-a. Ask him what his favorite underwear is. Ask him if he thinks Mandy Moore and Ryan Adams is as weird [...]
Variety reports that Friday and The Italian Job director, F. Gary Gray, has secured the rights to use Marvin Gaye’s unimpeachable catalog of music from his Motown years for a biopic on the singer. Gray had previously been unwilling to make the movie without securing these rights (I mean you couldn’t really do the [...]
Ever since last year’s amazing and underrated, Zodiac, we’ve been waiting to see how David Fincher’s next movie “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” would turn out. Judging from the trailer, it looks like things turned out well. Brad Pitt stars as the man who ages backwards and Fincher looks like he adds [...]
So Spike Lee is set to direct a documentary about Michael Jordan according to Variety and hopes to bring it to Cannes next year. From the report:
Jordan docu will include extensive unseen footage shot by NBA cameras during the final two years in Jordan’s career, the 2001-02 and 2002-03 seasons. Lee and Jordan previously collaborated on [...]
Apparently saying “This plan’s been fucked since Jump Street” in one of your movies is enough to earn you these kinds of things. Set to write and produce the adaptation is our main man, Jonah Hill. Write AND produce. That’s an A-list kind of leap if we’ve ever heard of one. Still not feeling confident [...]
Take three of the greatest guitar slayers from the past 40 years. Throw in Davis “Deadwood” Guggenheim and what do you have? The hottest motha-effin’ rock doc that a weak, prissy-pants town like Cannes has ever seen! Making its debut from the sunny resort town, “It Might Get Loud” is already exploding [...]
While the West Coast usually gets all the credit for inventing modern-day skateboarding, New York’s role in the evolution of the sport has gone largely undocumented. Deathbowl to Downtown tells the story of how New York street skating developed and grew. Check out the trailer here.
$104.2 mil domestic since Thursday + 96.7 mil worldwide since Wednesday = $200 mil in IT’S FIRST WEEKEND! This just proves the tried-and-true theory that Robert Downey Jr. puts asses in seats. L.A. times has the full story.
File this next to Abba, The Hives, Ikea and Bjorn Borg as great cultural exports from Sweden. Check out these incredible covers of vintage Swedish VHS tapes. Is that the Swedish Alec Baldwin in the picture below? More pictures after the jump.
Thanks to QBN for the tip!
Three cheers for Tina Fey, as she takes another step toward becoming a more successful (in TV at least), female version of Judd Apatow. Kidding, kidding. Anyway, ‘Baby Mama’ ($18.3 mil) takes the top spot over other comedies, ‘Harold and Kumar too tired to type the full title’ ($14.6 mil) and ‘Forgetting Sarah [...]
How about some links to help ease you into the weekend?
Bill Simmons hands out his NBA playoff awards. I haven’t read it yet, but I’m guessing there’s at least one Vegas story involving his buddies Jack-O, House, Corky, J-Bug, Turtle and at least one comparison of Rasheed Wallace to Billy Zabka
Check out the new poster for the [...]
Upon reading this weekend’s box office results, I think I speak for everyone when I say “Whaaaaa????????”
I realize that Forgetting Sarah Marshall had a few things working against it (R rated, little to no star power) but really? The Forbidden F&%^ing Kingdom? Jackie Chan in dread locks? That’s what America wants to see??? I’m befuddled [...]
