Yesterday, the (almost) unthinkable happened, as Lady Sovereign’s video for “Love Me or Hate Me” vaulted to number one on MTV’s “Total Request Live” countdown. Yes, more people voted for Lady Sovereign being chased by a ghost hamster than Justin Timberlake and T.I. in “My Love”.
News like this is almost enough to get me watching MTV again. Almost.
Yesterday’s election flavored edition of ZeFrank’s The Show is out-fucking-standing. Go watch it now. Don’t worry, I’ll be here when you get back.
Seriously tho… If you watch only one piece of internet video this week, then you’ve probably never heard of YouTube. But that’s beside the point, isn’t it?
P.S. You still have time to inform yourself before the November 8th election comes around. It might be a good idea to do that. Just saying, that’s all…
This is a great skit from last week’s SNL featuring Fred Armisen and Amy Poehler as Lou Reed and Patti Smith riffing on the demise of CBGB. Since it’s on YouTube, I’m sure NBC will smack it down pretty quickly — so watch it while you can…
If you don’t have anything nice to say, let a YouTube video of a monkey drinking its own urine do it for you. [via]
I don’t care if the French booed it at Cannes — I’m really looking forward to Sofia Coppola’s Marie Antoinette. The 75% Rotten Tomatoes seems to be pretty positive, although I’m sure that’ll fluctuate a bit as more critics weigh in on it. I’ve never really cared much about what critics have had to say tho. *shrug*
I’ve been wanting to see this one for a while now, but I told Sarah that I’d wait so we could see it together. While the scores on Metacritic seem to be a bit mixed, it still looked like the sort of movie I’d actually enjoy.
And I really don’t care what most reviews say anyhow. Despite being a bit of a critic myself, I know that most people’s tastes are subjective. Anyhow, I finally gave in and managed to score a copy from a couple of peers — if you know what I mean — that the girl and I managed to watch over the weekend.
And you know what? I’m pretty damn happy that I finally got around to seeing it. It really was a pretty good but slightly flawed psychological thriller.
P.S. For those of you who don’t want to deal with the pixelated YouTube video up above, there are higher quality versions of the trailer on Apple’s site.
Sarah tried to make friends with a goat over the weekend. The goat had other ideas tho…
Here’s a crazy, awesome stop motion advert for UK based online magazine The First Post.
This isn’t the best cover of my second favorite Postal Service track, but Ben gets lots of points for inventiveness. Dropping an s-bomb where there wasn’t one before sort of amuses me too…
