Jason Schwartzman hawks for the New Yorker

This is a bit old, but just stumbled upon it...

His cousin, Roman Coppola, directed this piece of comedy...

Missing Missy

A worthy mid-day diversion ... especially for those who have nothing but faint praise for felines....Read the whole thing!

Fun with Photoshop and Brett Ratner

This is a plug for my friend's site http://ratnerfilms.tumblr.com/ It's essentially a virtual raspberry to THE director of  terrible, high-concept,  popcorn sequels, in the form of Photoshop poster spoofs...

Another poster I like:

Auto-tune and Weird Al: Does it get better?

I was going to post an adorable video about a run-away panda, but this Weird Al/Rocketboom bit about auto-tune on the You Tubes was too funny to pass up.  Guilty pleasure confession: I actually like auto-tune.  Honestly, if I owned an I-phone, it would not be beyond me to make a $3 impulse purchase to get  that dumb I am T-Pain app.  I suppose the chuckle factor would wear thin after a day or two...



The first part of the video is a little boring, but wait for the parody part that Weird Al explains...

Oh, here is the panda video too...for Friday kicks! (Thanks Lina!)

shitmydadsays on the Tweeter

I'm late to the game on this one (late for at least 710,010 followers ), but you must start following shitmydadsays, which is written by Justin Halpern, a 29 year old, California-based rando who recently moved back in with his parents.  By simply tweeting the snarky remarks his 73 year old dad makes, this guy landed a book deal AND an option deal with CBS. Holy jackpot. He's only been tweeting since AUGUST??  Here are some of my faves:

"The baby will talk when he talks, relax. It ain't like he knows the cure for cancer and he just ain't spitting it out."12:51 PM Oct 22nd from web

"Just pay the parking ticket. Don't be so outraged. You're not a freedom fighter in the civil rights movement. You double parked."12:59 PM Oct 18th from web
"That woman was sexy...Out of your league? Son. Let women figure out why they won't screw you, don't do it for them."12:10 PM Oct 12th from web
"My flight lands at 9:30 on Sunday...You want to watch what? What the fuck is mad men? I'm a mad man if you don't pick me the hell up."5:42 PM Aug 15th from web
