More Funneeeee!

A couple of funny films to check out...

Foot Fist Way

Apparently a favourite film of Will Ferrell's. Cringy like The Office, silly like Semi-Pro.

Chris Rock's Kill The Messenger

Hilarious. Chris Rock rocks.

Three Deeeee!

Unusual for me, but I went to see movies in the theatre twice this past weekend. Mainly because the films I went to see were in super duper 3D.

Coraline

Great stop motion film by the director of A Nightmare Before Christmas. Not really for the young kids, had some spooky moments. But a little disappointed with the 3D. The film didn't take advantage of being in 3D. If you go, see it in 2D and save the extra bucks for popcorn. 

IMAX Under the Sea 3D

Imax and 3D - always a great combo. Amazing underwater photography brought to life in 3D. My god, at one point you are face to face with a giant cod floating in the middle of the theatre. Only 40 minutes long and the 3D made me feel a little dizzy, but it was pretty cool.

Check out this Bacon

Check out this bacon. NSFW

Housekeeping

What happened to the D&C pic? The Vader pic is really funny, but...

Slip, is there an opportunity to but a header banner on this template? If so, let me know the specs and I can whip one up.

What's Spinning in yer iPod?

Since we like to blog on music, I thought I would throw out an idea - a post per month by one of us (we can rotate) talking about what's getting play on our iPod (or iPhone for Woods). Here's mine:

Coldplay - Viva la Vida
Damn, I like Coldplay. Have for a while, and I am gonna just come out and say it. I know some say they are cliche and stuff, but they throw down some great melodies. And Joe Satriani should rethink his lawsuit.

Jason Mraz - We Sing, We Dance, We Steal Things
I think I like Mraz's stuff more than Matt Costa - it seems to have more variation song to song.

Incredibad - Lonely Island songs from SNL
I nearly pee myself listening to this stuff. Faves include Ras Trent ("Are you there, Jah? It's me, Ras Trent"), Dick in a Box, Space Olympics, and Incredibad. Good for a break on a long commute.

Blind Pilot
Ok - likely a new band for you both. Very acoustic sound, and a great overall groove. These guys toured on bicycle across the US last year, gear and all... I think they were on Carson Daly yesterday, too.


I've also put the iPod on shuffle, and twigged on JT (gotta love him), some Kanye West (the new album - 808s - is a bag full of repetitive crap), and the new Thievery Corporation (Radio Retaliation).

Natty

Just came across this musician. First heard his voice on Nintin Sawhney's "Days of Fire" track. More here:

The Waterkeepers

We went to see a talk at the Centre for Social Innovation last week. Mark Mattson and Gord Downie talked about The Lake Ontario Waterkeepers ongoing fight to keep Lake Ontario safe for swimming, drinking and fishing, particularly an area near Kingston and The Tragically Hip's Bath House Studio from the actions of LaFarge Cement company and inaction of our government.

It was inspiring to hear about this fight and cause. Mark gave us the details of the legalities and proceeding of the case and Gord reflected on his involvement and played a few acoustic tunes.

Playing for Change

I like this. Grandpa Elliot friggin' rocks on the mouth harp.

New (temporary) Template

As per Dubby's insistance to adjust the template, I've updated it so that the mouse cursor should not mysteriously disappear. I said Good Day.

By the way, we are only on pace to hit half the number of posts of our best year (2006). What up with that? Time to spread some more eggs and cheese, that's what I say. Woods, you want some salsa with those eggs?

Flight of the Conchords

OMG - Have you seen Flight of the Conchords? Season 1 was hilarious. I saw the first episode of Season 2 and was left feeling a little flat. That all changed with the second episode when Jermaine decides to becomes a bo ho. Hilarious.

PS - can the Blogger template be reset in pursuit of a glitch free blog? 

Slumdog!

Had a chance to catch Slumdog Millionaire this past weekend with Woods and Robyn. Great flick - deserves the Acadaemy Award nomination. Interesting way of revealing the narrative of a boy's life story through the questions he answers on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire. 

Oops! I forgot...

Further to Wood's Christmas declaration of matching sweater-ness, I meant to post this before the holiday, but just found the image now. This is my Xbox 360 "avatar" suited up for the holidays with the moustache I only wish I could have. Cheers!

Generation Kill

"The Wackness" was definitely dope. Now I am on to "Generation Kill". Think "Band of Brothers" in Iraq with high production values. Some good stuff with interesting socio-political undertones. Stay frosty and listen to Godfather.

The Wackness

Another film reco - The Wackness. As the poster says...

NYC. Summer 1994. The Girls Were Fly. The Music Was Dope. And Luke Was Trying To Deal.

Ben Kingsley as a psychiatrist turned dope dealer. Enough said.

Merry Christmas Moon Tower...

Merry Christmas Gents'
Hope the holiday treats you well...
Colin (and Robyn)

A few too many...

Had my 2nd annual Xmas office party last night. Way too many bottles of St. Peter's English Ale washing down way too many raw oysters! The blizzard is not helping my hang over. 

No evil - heard, seen or said

Found this funny Moontower related image...

A Santa Message...

This is pretty cool - you can do a personalized message from Santa. Thought Ethan might like it!

Matisyahu Tonight!

Going to see Matisyahu tonight at the Phoenix! K'naan is opening. Should be a great show.

*UPDATE*

So the show was amazing. K-naan was inspirational, but didn't have the intensity or energy of Matisyahu. From his intense glares and wild spinning, the show was thumping. The pacing was a little weird - some long slow interludes. But the highlight was his beatbox - it blew me away. He definitely did "Chop 'em down"! Unfortunately no "Message in a Bottle" cover though

Jizz in my Pants

Ok. If you've seen the SNL short, "Dick in a Box", this next one is easily going to make you

JIZZ IN YOUR PANTS.
