Animated Dark Knight Parody: College Humour

"He's just a guy in a bat costume..."

Since The Coon episode from South Park the floodgates for Dark Knight parodies have opened.

Although a tad long these 2 vids from College Humour are pretty damn hilarious.

Botanically speaking...

Everything related to this movie looks funny to me.
Larry David in shorts and walking with a limp.
Samantha Bee (the Daily show) with an air of shock and disgust on her face which she does so well.
And Ed Begley JR. who I think is hilarious after seeing him in Party Down and Pineapple Express.
Woody Allen usually gets a shitty release for his movies. So we'll probably have to fly to Paris to catch this one...
Been waiting to watch Whatever Works since I heard about the genius casting and that first shot of Larry David in plaid shorts.

People that should get fired: Audi's marketing team

Having dabbed my pinkey in advertizing years ago I know what kind of arrogant douches work in the industry. I would have paid an arm and a leg (and maybe donated some precious fluids) to be able to see the reaction of Audi's marketing team when BMW launched their campaigns.
Audi: you got served! ( plus your cars smell of doodoo)

Reflection Eternal: Back Again!

There's only few people in hip hop that still get me excited and Talib Kweli is one of them.

Reflection Eternal's ( his tag team with producer -DJ Hi-tek) follow up album to their 2000 release Train of thought, an album we pretty much memorised back to front when it came out. (we also used to have enough time on our hands to have hour long sing alongs)
Hi-tek's solo efforts left me kind of luke warm but listening to the track below it seems that work best when together.

This is going on loop on my ipod starting from.... now!

The Chaser

Hot diggety- Did I enjoy this flick.
If this was made by the Hollywood machinery (and according to the trailer it is being remade) then this is the kind of movie where all the girls get kidnapped whenever Morgan Freeman is around,Denzel Washington looks cool lying crippled in
bed or Christopher Lambert saves the day with some cool chess moves...

But although you might initially feel this is a paint-by-the numbers serial killer with weird fetish getting caught by cop with a past- story this has an added Korean flavor, the MSG infused aftertaste where anything can happen in those dark-green alleys of Seoul that we have come to know so well with the emergence of kick-ass Korean movies from the last few years.
In some ways it made me think of Old Boy especially in a few of the hammer bludgeoning scenes at the end of the Chaser but specifically the way the scenes were shot and lit.
The story is of a cop-turned-pimp trying to save one of his 'ladies of the night' from a serial killer and he has 12 hours to prove the dude is guilty or he gets left out on bail. (I kept thinking how polite korean cops are, they REALLY wanted to let the guy go- maybe we should consider organising a crime wave on rollerskates dressed as santa in Korea...where's Stephen Dorf when you need him)

Although it sounds like a conventional story it leaves you on the edge of your futon from the get go, making you realize that the movie speaks an entirely different language. One of the first scene is between the holy trinity of trick, bitch and pimp where the John was up for some crazy perverted asian sex, he had a guy stashed with a camera and was adamant that the girl does not pee in the toilet, I dont know what the guy was cooking up or how he gets his kicks but the interaction between the characters and how our reluctant hero comes to the rescue whilst still making a quick buck is remarkable. And I love the look the girl gave our hero whilst she walked by him with a huge swollen eye.
It msut be said that after seeing so many Korean flicks lately I just expect some sickly shit to happen suddenly. The Chaser isn't gory but it does not shy away from getting its mittens dirty.

The good guy doesn't necessarily win and the bad guy is just pure evil.(And one of the kids gets hurt really bad. I don't know if she also got raped but let's assume she didn't.)
The movie gets extra points in my book for making cops looks like complete idiots. And any movie that does that without having to resort to bringing out Louis de Funes and his nuns is ok in my book.

Also, how cool is that poster? It's got me saying...I want to take his face... offf!
Let the remaking begin!
