Here's a poster for Daddy Yankee's film debut, Talento de Barrio. Apparently, it's kind of like The Fugitive, but without all the running. The cops are like "Where is he? Take the background noise out of that phone call? Is that an elevated train in the background? I want you to find this guy," and then one of the nameless control room guys pulls down his headphones and is like "Chief, we got him," and then the Chief is like "Where? Get me visuals. Enhance," and the guy is like "No, he's right there," and there's Daddy Yankee, just standing there, and the cops are like "You can continue to not run," and Daddy Yankee's like "Gasolina!" That's what happens.
Just for the record, at some point in the not too distant future I'm going to be in charge of all the movies and you'll all be sorry. Because of how bad I will be at it.
Bill Murray: King Of The Couch• After his cameo on SNL last night (or should we say snoozeo!), Bill Murray stopped by David Letterman. Part one. Part two. The man is a legend.
Man, Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim of Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job! fame won't quit with this directing all the music videos business. First there was the Ben Folds video for "You Don't Know Me," and then that NSFL video for Flying Lotus's "Parisian Goldfish." Now Eric's gone and made a video for MGMT's "The Youth." Did anyone even ask him to do this? I get the sense that he was just really bored and really into MGMT one day and called up Tim and was like "rustle up those child actors we rejected from the Mahanahan's Child Clown Outlet sketch and let's have some potentially scarring fun." Just kidding, these kids are looking great and I'm sure their parents love them very much.
The Flight of the Conchords won four awards at the New Zealand Music Awards, including Breakthrough Artist, Best Group, Best Album, and International Achievement. They weren't able to attend the awards because they were in the United States taping the second season of their HBO show, which is kind of the sadness of the whole New Zealand Awards System that you mostly have to leave New Zealand if you really want to start cleaning up on all the statues. But anyway, they pre-taped four acceptance speeches, and every single one of them, even the second one which isn't even really funny, is better than Gary Unmarried and Do Not Disturb combined. Shit, I'll even throw in Chuck, because I consider any show "new" until at least three people have watched it. [UPDATE: "is better than Gary Unmarried and Do Not Disturb and that SNL clip Lindsay just posted combined."]
VH1 Blog has some preview clips from the upcoming spin-off series Real Chance Of Love, in which Stallionaire brothers Real and Chance (Get the title now? Because of their names? It's called a pun and it's hilarious) will live in some kind of sadness ranch and try to find two women to pretend to fall in love with, Flavor of Rock of Love-style.
This must be so weird for you. It's always awkward when you go to a party and an ex-girlfriend is there, but to watch a TV show and see ALL OF YOUR GIRLFRIENDS in the same place? Seriously, though, Bubbles has a point. If those girls were educated they would know that we're all animals because we're the human species duh. Oh, also, one of the girls on this show is nicknamed "Meatball." MEATBALL! The history of entertainment just exploded in a giant fireball of incredible. The end.
If you're a 14-year-old girl (and Videogum readers are primarily 14-year-old girls), then you already know that a new Twilight trailer was put on-line last night and you've already watched it 12 times and called all five of your T-Mobile Faves on your Bling Ringed phone to talk about how hot Edward looks when he's so pale and strong. If you're not a 14-year-old girl, then here is the new Twilight trailer.
Fair enough. But if you're like me, then when you watch this trailer the first thing you think is "Um, no, everything will not change on November 21. On November 21, everything will be crazy the same." And if you're like me, you don't entirely understand the Twilight phenomenon. In fact, you might not care about it at all. Here are a few reasons why.
"My friends" (Get it? John McCain says that, so now it's like a joke!) at 23/6 have put together this video explaining how you can use Sarah Palin's stumbling rhetorical style to rocket to success in your own life.
I don't even know if that's funny anymore. Did you see the new quote from her on Radar the other day?
Aboard her campaign plane, Palin defended her tough talk. Asked if her claims suggest Obama is dishonest, Palin said, "I'm not saying he's dishonest. But in terms of judgment, in terms of being able to answer a question forthrightly, it has two different parts to this -- that judgment and that truthfulness."
Nailed it. After she said that, Sarah Palin dropped the mic and walked off the plane.
