Just as my taste in denim started to shift towards fashiony, European jeans, I watch this trailer and my interest in vintage and American-inspired jeans is revitalized. This documentary looks really interesting because it follows both American and Japanese denim enthusiasts and the culture that they are a part of. I don’t know anything about [...]

This 42-second short by Chris Milk reveals a man’s life flashing before his eyes. If this was my own timeline, I would only have reached up to the graduation part. I suppose my next milestone will be getting punched in the face by Pauly Shore.

Check out this Half-Life inspired short by the Purchase Brothers. Apparently it was made with a budget of $500. Cant wait for part 2

This show is filmed documentary style and the main character is an obliviously stupid person in a high position. There’s also Rashida Jones and an Indian actor. No, it’s not The Office 2, it’s Parks and Recreation. The new show from the same creators may seem like an Office clone, but after the success of [...]

Stephen-recommended? yes
I Love You, Man

Check out this comedy group out of UCLA, The Wait List. One of the guys, Steven Wilson, is actually a desma homie, which is how I found the videos in the first place. Very funny stuff and genuinely professional production quality.

Chocolate is the latest film from Prachya Pinkaew which features newcomer Yanin Vismitananda as an autistic young woman with amazing martial arts abilities. It doesn’t take a martial arts expert to notice that the style of fighting in the movie isn’t your typical Bruce Lee/Jackie Chan fanfare. This brutal, wireless, Muy Thai style of fighting [...]

I’m a huge fan of this recent generation of comedians, so I enjoyed reading about them and seeing them recreate iconic comedians. The list of photographed comedians include Danny McBride, Russell Brand, Bill Hader, Anna Faris, Jason Bateman, Leslie Mann, Paul Rudd, Jonah Hill, Amy Poehler, Will Arnett, Jason Segel, and Seth Rogen.

The first week of the new Late Night with Jimmy Fallon just ended and I think theres been enough content aired that I can judge whether or not I like/will like this show. Of course I have high standards for the show and for Jimmy himself because Conan was my favorite late night talk show [...]
