OLOST – “We Can Do Anything” From Garbage Pail Kids
The Garbage Pail Kids are a bunch of non-union scabs.
OLOST – Monster Squad Rap
Performed by the Monster Squad and written/produced by DICK RUDOLPH. Seriously, everything from the late ’80s to mid ’90s was a rap.
Berlin Street Artists Build Kaleidoscopes To Block Subway Ads.
The future is happening all around us, and we have no fucking idea! Take Berlin. Apparently in Berlin, they’ve eschewed print advertisements in subway stations for projectors to display their ads. In response, a group of Berlin street artists build giant kaleidoscopes to place over said projectors. Take the power back! Or at least the uh, sanctity (?) of subway walls. The minds behind the gag explain:
A couple of months ago, ad-projectors appeared in a Berlin subway station, throwing moving images all over the station walls and lifting visual aggressiveness to a new level. Since the images were projected, we could get between projector and projection to fight this new quality of exaggerated advertisement with its own weapons. Minimalinvasive adbusting devices made of mirrors, magnets and quite some ducktape.
It’s pretty bad ass.
Hit the jump to see them pull it off.
OLOST – John Carpenter’s “Coup de Ville”
John Carpenter’s scored most of his own films. He’s a talented dude like that. But when it comes to singing in a music video for one of his films, he should just chill. Regardless, Big Trouble in Little China fucking rules.
OLOST – “Big Guns” From Last Action Hero
Arnold is cooler than the other side of the pillow in this one.
Side note: Last Action Hero was written by Shane Black, the man helming Iron Man 3. There’s nothing he can’t do.
OLOST – Happy Friday
For most people, Friday’s just the day before the weekend. But after this Friday, the neighborhood will never be the same.
Kid Draws Odd Future All Over His Math Quiz; Swag Time.
I’m not certain why this kid didn’t get a 100. I hope the “see me after class” is to give the motherfucker a high-five in person.
OLOST – Elvira: Mistress of the Dark Finale Song
Today’s pick is the song at the end of Elvira: Mistress of the Dark. I recently revisited this movie, which I haven’t seen in about 18 years when it was on Comedy Central every day. It still holds up.
CAGE MATCH: The Week in Nic Cage
Hey guys. By now I hope you’ve all seen Drive Angry and given Nic Cage some much needed money. After having such high hopes, I was less than impressed with it. For someone who thinks 3D is corny, I thought the 3D in Drive Angry is the main reason to see it in theaters. It was really well done. But other than that, meh.
Another slow news week in the Cage universe. Now that Drive Angry is behind us, I’m so ready for the Ghost Rider 2 hype to hit full throttle. Some words from Cage on that sequel/reimagining below. Also a pretty girl has joined the cast of Simon West’s Medallion. Thank god!
Malin Akerman Joins the Cast of Medallion
Con Air director Simon West’s Taken-ish thriller Medallion has found its leading lady in the moderately attractive Malin Akerman. She’s been on Entourage and was the Silk Spectre in some movie called Watchmen. Malin is playing a crook and former lover of Cage who aids him in recovering his daughter from the back of a medallion taxi cab. I hope Cage kisses her. (via /Film)
DEFEAT. 023 – Death in the Afternoon
[DEFEAT. is Rendar Frankenstein’s truest attempt at fiction. Presented in weekly episodes, the novella tells the tale of Daryl Millar – a hero who dies at the intersection of pop culture, science-fiction, war epic, and fantasy]
Ernest paced back and forth, contemplating whether or not he should go through with it. A Pulitzer and a Nobel Prize in Literature, and yet he had to go to great lengths to get his latest manuscript into the pages of Life Magazine. As he thought about this fact, he coldly nodded his head.
“The world has turned its back on me — just as I knew it would.”
