This hilariously bizarre film from the 1930s combines two of my favorite things: dogs and drinking. Anyway, it's wayyy better than Beverly Hills Chihuahua. Seriously though, even if you don't like dogs and/or dranks, watch this: it's doggone funny. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=II1BkpX03-M&fmt=18]

Star Trek themed entry of sneakers, bachelor pads, interview with the director and more!
One of my all time favorite scenes from Ricky Gervais' Extras is his desperate character's conversation with Patrick Stewart (playing himself), a scene which has now been mashed up with Bambi into this brilliant video. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2WWeq9-QKA&fmt=18]
Spoiler Alert for those who haven't seen the new Star Trek movie this weekend: Spock becomes a gawddamn NAZI.
Hopefully this classic clip of Gene Kelly a-tap dancing on roller skates will help temporarily erase the images of the whole chicken in a can. No? What about Megan Fox rolling around on a bed for this Esquire video shoot? [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aus1PA5-SyI&fmt=18]
Hey Munira: Why don't you hire Ryan Gosling to help you move to your new apartment at the end of this month? Actor Ryan Gosling was spotted in the East Village recently with a moving company Steinway Movers as part of his research into his next role in which he plays, yup, a mover. Here he received a bouquet of flowers from "Susan" a longtime neighborhood local. How convenient the company's phone number is right in the photo. I suspect they'll receive an uptick in phone calls from women requesting a very specific mover.
I haven't blogged about her here, but like everyone else in the tri-state area I've been fascinated by the trail that the hipster grifter has blazed throughout this city of mine. This mashed up movie poster spotted in Williamsburg, natch, however was just too good to not share with ya'll. It made me LOL.

If you haven't visited me recently over at Sundance Channel's blog SUNfiltered, here are some of the things I've discussed over there. Let me know what you think in the comments at SUNfiltered! See ya later alligator.
A video comparing scenes from older Disney animated classic films that suggests that animators at the magical kingdom just recycled the same scenes over and over again. Nothing magical about that, just like your childhood. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zL6FYxIuJlA&fmt=18]

Hop over and watch this trailer for a Japanese animated series (interestingly translated as "Cat Shit One") featuring commando...rabbits. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gr4QBZfjtqs&fmt=18]
Note, as one commenter observed, the rabbits are wearing headsets...but they don't go over their actual rabbit ears.

Stunning test video shot by David Coiffer with his new camera (a Photron SA2...from the future maybe?) is delicious super slo-mo eye candy. [vimeo=http://vimeo.com/3830864]

Stella Artois recreated movies and gave them a certain French je ne sais quoi in this entertaining viral campaign. C'est magnifique! Die Hard:

You think you had a bad day at work? Try this one. On March 12 a German scientist accidentally "pricked her finger with a needle used to inject the deadly Ebola virus into lab mice." Ebola as we know is some bad shit and has no known cure: "It begins with flu-like symptoms, followed by bloody diarrhea and vomiting. Days later, some victims begin bleeding through the nose, mouth and eyes. Depending on the strain of virus, it can kill up to 90 percent of victims."
An international team of biologists and virologists immediately gathered in a transatlantic teleconference and decided on a course of action. Less than 24 hours after the incident, "an experimental vaccine never before tried on humans was on its way to Germany from a lab in Canada." So far tests suggests that she will survive (fingers crossed), unlike this Russian scientist. Or Karen Wetterhahn, a former chemistry professor at Dartmouth.
Speaking of the movie Outbreak which featured a...wait for it...an outbreak of an Ebola-esque virus, I'd be mad if I was Morgan Freeman.
"A monkey? A goddamn monkey is getting higher billing than me on the movie poster?! I'm MORGAN FREEMAN. I was RED. I'm a fucking GOD. Who's Marcel's agent? Why? Because I should fire YOU and hire that fucking monkey's agent instead."

I forgot where I saw this, but it made me laugh.
