I think bandanas are the new penicillin

Because God loves Rock of Love as much as we do, Bret Michaels has finally been released from the hospital after his near death brain hemorrhage. Bret seems like a really nice person, and I'm glad he is doing better since he is fairly young (47) and has two young kids. So I hope everything works out for him on his road to full recovery. He was actually in my office building lobby a few months ago, and I got genuinely excited to see him and his silky mane (it's quite lovely in person.)

However, the new PEOPLE just came out and features Bret along with some photos (some of which were shot just two days before the hemorrhage.) The best thing is that the quote they chose to put alongside the largest photo is:


"We didn't have to shave his head or do any surgery, says his neurologist Dr. Joseph Zambrankski. So he pretty much wore his bandana like 99 percent of the time."

So Bret was basically struggling for speech, barely coherent, his girlfriend bending down, pressing her ear next to his lips straining to hear what he needed, finally making out "...ban...dan...a....(silence)."

Jeff Mangum Performs at Benefit

This is awesome and I'm glad I get to see it (because as we all know actually going to a show has way too much work and commitment attached to it), but seriously people filming shit ruins the specialness of everything as noted here.

Hard Ticket to Hawaii

I've just added this film to my netflix queue but I feel like nothing will live up to this clip. Full disclosure: I totally covered my eyes at the climax cause I am a baby.



Thanks to my pal Page for sending to me, I knew you went to film school for a reason!

Black Metal Movie Trailer

I can't seem to embed this so watch it here.

Somers Town Trailer

This Is England is one of those movies that has pretty much nothing wrong with it. It is gritty and believable while remaining just heartwarming enough not to become overwhelmingly cheesy. If you have haven't seen it, it will not disappoint. Especially the lead actor, Thomas Turgoose who is the cutest little skinhead ever!


Somers Town is the new film from the same director, Shane Meadows, and also stars Turgoose as a British runaway who befriends a Polish teen. It looks like it will have the same feel as This Is England, I'm very excited!

This Is Really Mean

So these are trained professionals? Apparently, a baby bear (unless it'd a breed that remains tiny) is scared of other animals, so they keep putting him in cages with other animals to see how he reacts. I mean it's hilarious but towards the end I felt bad.
