Pluk de Nacht Playing “Eagle vs Shark” for Free This Saturday!
Flight of the Conchords have been flying off the handle as their new HBO show has grown a healthy following by television and (more importantly), torrenting audiences. Heck, yesterday I even heard a couple of their previously released songs on the morning show on KEXP. To top it all off, this Saturday (August 18th) their movie, Eagle vs Shark, will be shown for free during the Pluk de Nacht Film Festival. According the AmsterdamWeekly:
Besides quality programming, there’s a lot to like about the festival. As Schotz attests: “You’ll be seated on our comfortable reclining beach chairs, and if it gets chilly you can rent a cosy blanket. There’s also a bar catering to your every need, and you can have a bite to eat at the Pizza Laboratory, which is an extensions of the famous Trattoria Yam-Yam and employs the same stone ovens… We’ve retrofitted containers and caravans and turned them into four kijkdozen (watchboxes) and mobile galleries filled with pictures an installations.”

Here are the stamps that go with the matching mailboxes from the United States Postal Service to commemorate 30 years of Star Wars goodness. Not only are they selling stamps, but the Express Mail Packs are going to be galaxified as well!

Pad Thai Western
You think I’m creative enough to come up with that term? Think New York Times. The trailer for Tears of the Black Tiger from 2000 is like a color-saturated Thai Mel Brooks film. Click below to watch!

Cathay Pacific – 18 Hours of “What the —–?!”
For those who don’t know anything about my parents, in particular my father, who book and purchase all of my travel, they like to do everything at the low cost of free. This has led to a pretty infamous lodging booking in 1994 at what was clearly a half-way house in Honolulu and in a few years previous, a cabin in Yosemite that housed only 2 when there were eight of us. Many stays at Circus Circus later, I still can’t believe I haven’t been kidnapped, traded for a bucket of nickels and or sold for a ten sac of crack.
Well the time to end these travel atrocities is 2007! My father finally booked a budget ticket that wasn’t complete ass.
ENTERTAINMENT EXTRAVANGANZA!
I ran into an episode of Kath & Kim while flipping through the channels and almost had a brian aneurysm (“I’m only yuman”). It’s a frickin’ welcome change to Friends. They’re not even Friends anymore, why do I still have to watch this shit?Then I got caught up in this Japanese movie called, “Rough” which is apparently based on a comic book. High school sport scholarship winners go to training camp where the two main characters have the classic “Boy likes girl who hates him at first but will eventually fall in love with him after a little misunderstanding has been breached (usually by a bystanding fat friend, by accident of course).” Except this girl doesn’t just give the guy the cold shoulder in the beginning, she calls him a “Murderer”. Like a lot. Like that’s the only thing she says and it’s to him for the first 45 minutes of the movie.
I watched most of it only to be cut off by the landing of the plane in Singapore. Looked for it on Netflix, nowhere to be found. Why hasn’t Netflixed boarded that train? Traveling People all over the world are falling asleep to movies they’ve never heard of before. Get with the times and find the airlines’ playlists, Netflix! CROSS-PROMOTION FOREVER!
FREE STUFF
After the typical handing out of moist toilettes and nappy re-used headsets, we got this free little pouch with matching neck strap (I lost the neck strap). It had socks (I lost the socks), a toothbrush and toothpaste (I used the toothbrush and toothpaste), and blinders for sleeping (I just don’t use those). So basically, I got a free bag, but it’s still pretty cool.YOU’RE PRETTY
Some of the stewardesses had vintage uniforms with the dates the outfit was worn on their name tags. This little number came with a high waist a-line skirt and a skinny black belt (so cute!). I didn’t have the nerve to take a picture on the plane, so this photo credit goes to ktsin. -
Hello Boys & Girls,
I still haven’t fully recovered from my vacation, so I apologize for not having anything to post the last two weeks. I’m still going through a lot of the emails from when I was away, and here are some of the more interesting items people tried to keep me updated on.
Animal Crossing – THE MOVIE
Emailed from Marc who says he “scours the internet so I don’t have to”. Animal Crossing is the best game to play from Nintendo if you’ve just graduated and haven’t gotten a job yet (meaning you have to have a lot of time on your hands and be kind of bored). Technically that’s what movies are like these days so it’s not far fetched that and Animal Xing movie would come out.

Gnarls Barkley/Biggie Mashup
Sent by Whitey who has been sending music links back and forth. We’ll talk more about music blogging, mp3 aggregators, podcasting (and the like) later next week as I’ve been compiling a lot of links and information about the subject. But for now, you can wet your whistle on these tracks.

Summer Reruns
July already! Time to find that f*@king netflix envelope you lost in February and catch up on what you missed while you were “working” in the winter months. So far everyone who I’ve recommended “Weeds” to has loved it for different reasons, which is odd, but great! Click on the image to add to your Netflix, or buy from iTunes.

missed out!
Judd Apatow is going to be doing a Q&A at the Arclight in Hollywood TONIGHT after a showing of the 40 Year-Old Virgin. He will also be joined by Seth Rogen and cast members Romany Malco and Gerry Bednob and it is SOLD OUT!
The thing I hate about LA is that all the unemployed, in-the-know-dweebs get to see all the shit I don’t have time to keep up on. That goes same for all you work-out freaks. YOU’RE ALWAYS GOING TO THINK YOUR FAT SO CUT IT OUT!
