Droppin

In what can only be deemed as an inevitable meeting of the minds, Jemaine Clement (one half of the popular guitar-based digi-bongo-acapella-rap-funk-comedy folk duo Flight of the Conchords) has signed on to star in a new movie to be written and directed by Jared Hess, the mind behind Napoleon Dynamite and Nacho Libre.

Jemaine will play a famous author who attends a summer camp for amateur writers and rips off a story from a high school  outcast.

Or at least thats what I imagine newly acquired LA Laker Pau Gasol would call Kobe Bryant seeing as hes a Spaniard. Thats right the Lakers have pulled the trigger and picked up Gasol, the oft trade mentioned All Star forward from the Grizzlies. And what did they give up? Essentially Kwame Brown, assuming the first round draft picks in 08 & 10 don’t come back to bite them (i haven’t heard if they are lottery protected).

So as a die hard Laker fan how do I feel about this move? Well it was definately a panick move however the Lakers got the good end of this deal. Gasol is far and away a better player then Kwame (and his Pokadelik Adventure, bonus points if you get that reference) had any right to be but I don’t see how an offensive minded big man fits into this Laker team. Still with the rash of injuries plaguing the lake show something had to be done to stop the bleeding and I feel much better with a positive player like Gasol on the team then a possible malcontent like Jermaine O’Neal.

The real story is the rumor floating around about the Famar for Kidd trade. My thoughts? Hang onto the kid, like Bynum he is going to pay off.
LAKERS: Lakers Acquire Gasol From Grizzlies

First of all let me just throw out a hearty Happy New Years to everyone out there in the world wide web or whatever it is the kids are calling it now days.

Second, Showtime did I miss a memo or something concerning our format change to better homes and gardens effective January 1? I know we don’t get a lot of hits with our current format (whatever that may be) but I didn’t think it was this bad.

Seriously though I appreciate the info on the sweet deal (and yes it is a sweet deal, what can I say I like cookbooks.) but I had to check the banner a couple of times to make sure I was on the right website. I feel like the radio DJ who has been hosting the morning show on a hip hop station who comes into work one day and finds out due to dwindling ratings he has been switched over to a country station and now has to do the morning show with a twang!

Actually I’m just tired of looking at those Jordans so anything I can add to the top of the site to bump them down is good for me!

Oh and just so I fit in with the “new theme”…here is a recipe I like to use for some really good waffles!

Alton Brown’s Basic Waffle

Well it looks like the user who posted all of the Flight of the Conchords clips has had his account suspended on Youtube and all the clips have been taking down. Interesting that this happened right after the DVD’s came out.

Anywho, I did find a new clip compilation with several funny clips from the show.

WARNING: To echo Showtime’s warning from earlier, this is an HBO show and as such they do use the occasional PG-13ish language.

Okay so perhaps the headline is a little misleading but Jason Bateman recently conducted an interview (in a press junket for his horrible looking new holiday movie with Dustin Hoffman) and said there is a long term plan to bring the cast back together for a reunion or movie down the road and everyone is on board. However its too soon to do it right now.  Another ray of hope for what was one of the best shows of all time? Or is Mr Potty mouth Jason Bateman (have you seen the blooper reels from this show?  Bateman has got to have Tourette Syndrome) just messing with us? COME ON!

“Arrested Development” Gets A Film? November 16th 2007

I don’t think there has been an official announcement but take a look at the picture and judge for yourself:

At long last the “private” footage from ComicCon is finally released as a highly polished teaser trailer for next springs IronMan.  Behold…

Truly a classic as brought to us by the legendary Sifl & Olly, I can’t help but think if they brought this show back today it would be huge.

And as an added bonus, a few more gems from Sifly & Olly (warning, minor pg-13-ish language that would have been on MTV in the 90′s found within):

Wanna glimpse of the title of the upcoming fourth installment of the Indiana Jones franchise?  Well now is you chance as Lucasfilm has apparently filed six possible titles with the MPAA.  The six that are considered are:

• Indiana Jones and the City of Gods
• Indiana Jones and the Destroyer of Worlds
• Indiana Jones and the Fourth Corner of the Earth
• Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
• Indiana Jones and the Lost City of Gold
• Indiana Jones and the Quest for the Covenant

I’m a little partial to the City of Gods or Quest for the Covenant as they both seem to hearken the religious symbology and artifacts that made the first movie so intriguing.  Thanks goes out to the good folks at Dark Horizons for the info.
