A Puppet Show On The Go
•July 4, 2010 • Leave a CommentTraffic congestion + a white Mazda truck + a few puppets and an FM transmitter =
Mobile Puppet Theater: US 210 Freeway Pasadena, California
Drivers stuck behind this Mazda will be treated to puppet shows that explore themes such as chaos, control, fame, friendship, snobbery, artistic integrity and love.
A radio frequency will also be on display, in which the driver can tune into and listen to the soundtrack of the puppet show on their radios.
Starting roughly at 5 p.m. on designated days, lucky commuters will see the back of the pickup’s shell top swing open to reveal an energetic hand puppet dressed like a heavy metal musician.
If they tune their radios to the frequency written on a cardboard sign on the tailgate, they’ll hear crashing guitar chords and a gravelly announcer’s voice say, “Welcome to ‘Superclogger’!”
What follows are four vignettes: An aging country singer laments the price of success; a naive young boy confronts upper class pretensions in a surreal conversation with a talking shrub; two construction workers shed their tough guy image with a karaoke version of Joni Mitchell’s “Both Sides Now”; and an isolated writer sets aside his novel for a lucrative screenplay and love.

The 100 Greatest (slash Obscene) Movie Insults of All Time [movie montage]
•July 4, 2010 • Leave a CommentCONTENT WARNING: Foul language galore! I found this to be more a mass of obscene abuse taken out of context than a montage of clever comebacks. Just swear words really, delivered by some admired actors and actresses.
And FYI, “go f**k yourself” isn’t an insult, it’s a (cliché) suggestion – But I guess it F***ing belongs here on DarkInTheBoy:
Harry Hanrahan’s video is packed with 100 vicious movie insults.
I got bored listening to most of those; so here’s a happy video to contrast:
…The spiders on the wall?! …The cobwebs in the hall?!
Michael Jackson’s ‘Beat It’ Covered by Pomplamoose [music video]
•July 3, 2010 • 1 CommentAt first I didn’t like this cover by Jack Conte and Nataly Dawn, solely because, it isn’t really ‘Beat It’ without that phat guitar riff. But this version has definitely grown on me:
Infinity times better than *shivers* Fall Out Boy’s version.

Unitard Universe [new site]
•July 1, 2010 • 2 CommentsThis is a website devoted to the history of ‘Unitards’ from science fiction fantasy television and films to live concerts and fashion walks: Uninhibited Uniform at Unitard Universe celebrates all things uni!
I wrote that little write-up before I actually visited the site – give me a minute… (2 hours later) I feel like someone should award me with a diploma in Unitardosophy.
There’s more there than what I was expecting for sure, and all I was expecting was Lady Gaga, Cher, Elvis, lots of Freddie Murcury, some Spice Girls and Cameltoe galore:
(is that too many? plenty more at the site) Half celebrity smut conceived for serial masturbators around the globe, and half people just looking good and having fun. You decide by adding a KISS beside each picture, or not. [Unitard Universe]

TRUE BLOOD Has Finally Returned
•June 30, 2010 • Leave a CommentSeason 3 has only just begun in New Zealand… It’s on now in fact – BYYYEEEE
Also; Kiwi born actor Grant Bowler from Outrageous Fortune fame, has a role in this season of True Blood as Cooter, head of a werewolf pack:
Bowler, who plays the werewolf Cooter, explained that he enjoys the freedom he has on the show.
“The amazing thing about True Blood is how far they’re prepared to go,” he told TV Guide. “I’ve never heard one of the directors, or [creator] Alan [Ball], or any of the writers once say, ‘Uh, that’s going too far. Can you pull back?'”
