The Thing? Casablanca? Beetlejuice? Blow Up? Midnight Cowboy? Cinespia, you’re after jesus satan’s A/V geek heart. this is the tenth season of goth-tastic screenings at the Hollywood Forever cemetery and they’re really pulling out all the stops this year with an absolute tremendous selection of classic films. check out the rest of the lineup here and join the email list because there’s more to come. it goes through to September, i think. then try to see one or two or all of them. you can bring in picnic-y stuff (i.e. booze) and last year FUCKING PAUL REUBENS showed up to introduce the screening of Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure, so you never know, there just might be a surprise or two. (although i’m pretty sure Bogey and Bergman ain’t showing for this one, unless it’s their ghosts. it is a graveyard in Hollywood, after all.)

this is kind of like bath time at jesus satan’s house, except my mom weighed about three hundred pounds… and they weren’t diamonds, they were scabs. explains a lot, right? (see more from M.A.Y.O. here.) Hoppy Easter, everyone…

Animal Collective created a film… it will be featured at Sundance. Avey Tare says, “It’s kinda like a psychedelic film, it’s not like a narrative film or anything.” He explained. “There are more cohesive moments in it, but then there are some that are a little more abstract.” I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say it’s gonna be weird.

Here are the Top 5 YouTube sports moments of 2009. Little kids playing football O-M-G.

Check out the artwork of Elizabeth Graeber. This sweet narwhal is just one of many gems.

Hey LA! Rolling Stone magazine is opening a nightclub/restaurant on Hollywood & Highland. Here’s what one of the magazine partner’s has to say: “We are both excited and determined to bring the spirit of the magazine to life – the edginess, the coolness, the classiness and the timelessness – in making this venue a place to see and be seen in.” …. Hmm, a nightclub attached to an outdoor mall is a place to be seen? Yeaah… I’m gonna go hang with the elite crowd at Dave & Buster’s.

Trailer for Brooklyn’s Finest, the new movie from Antoine Fuqua, director of Training Day. It looks like a thug-life version of The Departed. Reasons why I post this:
- It features the return of Wesley “Dark Chocolate” Snipes
- I met Don Cheadle once and he was pretty cool
- I spotted Omar from The Wire in the background somewhere…
