Anna Kournikova vs. Jimmy Fallon. Beer Pong.

Rather embarrassing effort on both parts. 

Anna is still fine though.

Taking Woodstock.

A movie based on the greatest concert of all time.

At first I didn't think Demetri Martin would be a good fit but the trailer proved me wrong.

Grab some LSD, roll up a blunt and enjoy.

S.Darko

Yesterday, I overheard someone say that a sequel to the 2001 psycological thriller Donnie Darko is due out May 12. At first I thought it was a mistake, an error, a lapse of judgement. As soon as I got back to my dorm I visited YouTube and sure enough, there it was.

S.Darko follows Samantha Darko, the younger sister of Donnie as she is plagued by bizarre hallucinatory dreams warning her of the universe's imminent end. At first, I was overcome with joy. I never wanted Donnie Darko to end when I first saw it. I watched it over and over, each time becoming more and more enthralled with the world that was Donnie Darko.

My happiness, however, was short lived. Although the trailer looks interesting and a few of the same actors have returned, I was disheartened by the fact that Richard Kelly, the original creator, has stated that he has no involvement in the sequel. The fact that the movie will be going straight to DVD doesn't help its credibility either.

I just don't think that the cult phenomena of the original can be duplicated.

Give the trailer a look. Who knows? Maybe it will be the greatest movie of all time. Afterall, who saw Donnie Darko in theatres anyway?

Ladies and Gentleman, Jason Segel.

At a Chicago screening of I Love You, Man Jason Segel was asked to perform "Dracula's Lament," the puppet musical from Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Segel wrote the musical while he was out of work in 2001.

It's good to see that these guys don't take their celebrity status too seriously.

Artist Profile: Judd Apatow

You've probably never heard of him and you'll probably never see him again but this man is behind almost every movie that has made you laugh in the past five years.

In 1999, Apatow produced a television show called Freaks and Geeks. The show starred actors such as James Franco, Seth Rogen, Jason Segel, Martin Starr, Linda Cardellini and many more recognizable names. Although the series was short lived, it received critical acclaim and is often considered the "greatest TV series to last only one season." 

Fast forward 5 years to 2004 when Apatow produced his first mainstream hit Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy. Since the release of Anchorman, Judd has practically created his own genre of comedy. He has produced and written box office hits such as The 40 Year Old Virgin, Talladega Nights, Knocked Up, Superbad, Walk Hard, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Step Brothers, and Pineapple Express.

In the picture above, Judd is posing with his wife and kids. Recognize them from anywhere?

In honor of Apatow's contribution to the world of comedy, here are two of the latest films he has had a hand in creating

Shaq Vs. Lebron Introductions

LeBron and his teammates have been having some fun during their pre game introductions as of late. LeBron snaps photos as his teammates pose for the camera in the video below. But Shaq caught sight of this and decided to throw his hat into the ring on Saturday night. When asked about his introduction Shaq said, "Everybody always talks about LeBron's weak intro, so I challenge LeBron to intros. I've got 100 million intros in my abdullah oblongata."

Shaq has charisma but LeBron is the best player in the game. You decide who does it better.

Kayaking Water Polo Tournament.

About 3 weeks ago, after a long Friday night, I woke up at 10am and made my way down to the pool. Not many things can get me out of bed when I'm hungover but there was no way I would miss this. The Dubros had entered a Kayaking Water Polo Tournament. My contribution was small, but even the spectators found themselves having more fun than they anticipated. Teams fell, round by round, at the blades of our paddles and The Dubros found themselves in the Finals. After an intense game and with the clock winding down Paul Lipcius found himself with the ball. With a Jordan-esque type move, he rocketed the ball by two players and into the back of the net as the buzzer sounded.

The Dubros were the champions.

Check out a montage of the tournament below!
Also keep a look out for Paul's reverse dunk at 1:45!



Stuff like this is why I love college.

In Over His Head...

In perhaps the toughest week of his young presidency, Barack Obama caps off his Sunday on 60 minutes, discussing the economy. More importantly, President Obama makes his first openly defiant statement against the US House of Representative of Democratic majority, speaking out against the suspect constitutionality of the recently passed House Resolution to tax bonuses received by employees making 200,000 dollars or more while employed by a TARP recipient. Below is the three part interview...







Every time I watch this man, I like him more and more. Perhaps that is the secret to being President, simply the ability to be liked.

"The Best Band You've Never Heard Of" Part Deux

This post serves as a corollary to Mr. Walsh's post a few days ago about Kings of Leon, most definitely the best band 90% of the world hasn't heard of. The proxy of a Presbyterian minister, KOL is made up of three brothers and a first cousin and truly know how to perform. My favorite song off of Only By the Night, Revelry....

"Heart Songs" by Weezer

Put the Pod on shuffle yesterday during my bus ride from hell (Greyhound SUCKS) and an oldie but goodie came up. Love it. A few years ago a good friend (big ups to Anastasia and his Mac) turned me onto Weezer and, while not my favorite band, I really enjoy their sound. Their most recent album, THE RED ALBUM, contained some really fine tracks, but my favorite is title "Heart Songs". A really interesting overview of the music that has shaped the band, it makes you think about the music that has shaped your own life. What are your heart songs?

Randy Pausch and "The Last Lecture"...

Probably one of the best hours I've ever spent watching something over the net. Truly uplifting and inspiring, Randy Pausch, cancer victim and pioneer of virtual reality, delivers his "Last Lecture" before he dies. If you want to know how to achieve your childhood dreams, or simply become a better person, watch this video.



NOTE: This isn't just me, over 10 MILLION people have viewed this lecture over the past year.

The Special Olympics Strikes Back...

Last Thursday the President of the United States, Barack Hussein Obama (how is that name not in spell check yet?) appeared on Jay Leno. Speaking skillfully about the economy and the presidential puppy no mistakes were made. However, when the conversation eventually settled on Obama's bowling skills, the President found himself in hot water. Telling the audience his high score (a 129) he alluded to that being "like the Special Olympics." DOH! On Friday, the Special Olympics struck back...



The reigning Special Olympic bowling champion, Koolan McConiughey (above), a mentally disabled man, fired back, saying, "He bowled a 129. I bowl a 300. I could beat that score easily". Obama apologized to McConiughey, promising the Olympian, who has bowled five perfect games, his day on the "lanes" in the White House. Only in America...

Movies to See Before You Die: Cidade de Deus ("City of God")

The first installment of an indefinite series highlighting movies to see before you die. Not necessarily the Oscar winners, or revolutionary cinema, just movies that hit home. Some will be new, most will be classics, but the movies picked bring something essential to the table...


I recently watched City of God with little to know expectations going into the viewing. Oftentimes this is when the best movies hit you, and this one certainly did. On the surface City of God is a movie about drugs and Mexico- what else is new? However, it is the manner in which the story is told (through concurrent and parallel narratives of individuals) that truly sets City of God apart. In addition, the main character/narrator, "Rocket", offers a poignant view of life in a drug culture in the 1970's that distinguishes itself from other hackneyed attempts (i.e Blow, American Gangster). If you can deal with subtitles and some naked men, City of God will impact you. Note: ranked #17 in IMDB top 250 movies of all time.

I Run by Slim Thug

President Barack Obama is the first sitting President to appear on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. He's actually the first sitting President to appear on any type of late night television show. He has drawn criticism by doing so, but honestly, give him a break.

This Song Has Been In My Head All Day!

The Kids of Widney High is a music group composed of mentally disabled students from the special education J. P. Widney High School. The group originally began as a song writing class in 1988. A majority of the vocals are performed by children with disabilities while the instrumentals are played by non handicapped teachers. You may recognize this song from Johnny Knoxville's The Ringer. 

"You scratched my CD! You picked it up in broad daylight, and you scratched it!"

New Pumas!

This Summer!

The Black Eyed Peas are Backkkkkkk.

The group's 5th album, titled The E.N.D. is due out June 9th. Will.i.am found the inspiration for the record in Australia where he was influenced by the electro grooves and clubby vibe of the Sydney hip hop scene. The album, which stands for The Energy Never Dies, features beats commissioned by MSTRKRFT and more than enough Auto-Tune to keep any android content. In many of the tracks, Fergie's vocals are chopped, skewed, broken, and glued back together. The first single, Boom Boom Pow, struck me as mediocre but look out for the song, Out of My Head. Fergie recorded it while she was drunk and Will.i.am praises it as the dopest track on the entire album.

Lindsay Lohan Recreates "The Last Sitting"

In 1962, Ben Stern shot a series of photos of Marilyn Monroe. They are arguably the most famous images ever taken of Ms. Monroe and have come to be known as "The Last Sitting." Six weeks after the photo session, Marilyn Monroe was found dead. Cause of death was cited as a drug overdose.

Almost 50 years later, Stern has recreated the infamous shoot for New York Magazine. Enter Lindsay Lohan.

Artist on the Rise: The Virgins

The Virgins hail from New York. Current band members include Donald Cumming, Wade Oates, and Nick Ackerman. In 2007 they compiled a 5 song LP titled The Virgins '07. After being passed around the New York club scene, it landed at Atlantic Records where The Virgins were eventually signed to a recording contract. Last year, their song, "Rich Girls," was ranked 68th on Rolling Stone's list of "100 Best Songs of 2008." Look out for The Virgins.

Joaquin Pheonix's Latest Antics.

I'm convinced Pheonix is fucking with all of us. His latest antics involve him jumping into a crowd at his own concert in order to attack a rude fan. 

This video was filmed by Casey Affleck, Pheonix's brother-in-law and Ben Affleck's younger brother. He has been filming Joaquin's transition from Actor to Rapper for a documentary he plans on producing. 

Either he is really self destructing or he has made a transition from cinematic superstar to a brilliant performance artist who will leverage all this publicity into a profound statement about the modern world. You decide.

Addition by Subtraction.

This year Bill Gates lost 18 billion dollars. 

Despite losing such a grand sum, he still managed to reclaim his spot atop the Forbes Billionaire List. According to the latest research, Gates comes in at number one with an estimated 40 billion dollars. Warren Buffett, the notarized investor, fell to second place after losing 25 billion dollars. He checks in with a measly 37 billion. Yes, this guy lost 25 billion so now he's only got 37 billion. What the fuck.

10 of the top 20 on the list are American. This is opposed to last year when American's held only 4 of the top 20 spots. 

The only member of the top 20 whose net worth rose during the past year is New York City Mayor, Michael Bloomberg. Bloomberg, who is ranked 17th, earns a salary of $1 a year as the Mayor of New York. His company, Bloomberg LP, benefited from a re-evaluation and he also bought a 20% stake in Merrill Lynch.

Your Shuffle is Now Outdated.

Available now for $79 is Apple's latest version of the iPod Shuffle. It's a little smaller than a AA Battery and is capable of holding up to 1,000 songs. Blah, blah, blah it's smaller and plays more songs. Go nuts. This iPod, however, has also been blessed with the ability to speak. The new VoiceOver feature 

communicates the song title and artist 

to you upon your command. 

Cool. Kind of? Maybe? 

The VoiceOver is just Apple's poor attempt to make up for the Shuffle's lack of LCD Screen. I usually know what song is playing after the first few notes, however, so I'll find very little use for the android they've stashed inside my Pod. This would only encourage me to give a few of my songs ridiculous titles. "You are now listening to The Sound of Apple Taking Your Money!"

Overall assessment: Valiant effort Steve Jobs but your going to need a seriously catchy ad campaign for me to buy into this one.

Public Enemies.

Charles Barkley...

There are many clowns in the circus that is professional athletics, specifically retired pro athletes. Men who once had thousands fawning over every point scored, every homerun hit, every dunk slammed, trying to salvage what is left of their often poor economic condition and "glory days". However, if there is one ring leader of this circus it is Charles Barkley. Just now, not more than 10 seconds ago, on Sports Illustrated.com, the news feed displayed that Mr. Barkley has just been released from a three day jail stint. To the immediate right was an add for a reality golf show featuring, you guessed it, Charles Barkley. Now, the initial irony is striking on its own, however, after watching the video of Barkley playing golf below, you should be falling all over yourself. Enjoy.

Haha, dude actually plays golf like five times a week...

Let the Madness Begin.

It's that time of the year again. Time to start dancing. 

Court storming, buzzer beating, bracket busting games all day long. It's like Christmas. Before the tournament even starts, however, the Conference Tournaments must be played. For many smaller schools, winning their conference tournament is the only shot they have of making it into the Big Dance. This makes for some of the best basketball you will ever have the privilege of watching. Big time players put small time school's on their backs. Hearts are broken, prayers are answered. Otherwise unknowns are catapulted into the spotlight. Just ask Stephen Curry. So, in honor of school's like Morehead State and the College of Charleston, here are some Conference Finals you should try and catch: 

America East March 14, 11 a.m., ESPN2

The Greatest Concert I've Ever Seen.

I refilled my cup with Jungle Juice and proceeded downstairs. Took my first right and found myself in a cloud of smoke. Immediately, I recognized my boys and found a seat. The bong rotation consisted of two Park Rangers, a Mad Scientist and one kid that looked like Indiana Jones. The theme of the party was Jurassic Park. I sipped my Jungle Juice as I eagerly waited for the four foot bong to make its way around. 

Packed it. Milked it. Cleared it. 

Now, I was in the zone. I floated out of the room and greatness filled my ears. The band Speak Easy was performing Modest Mouse's "Float On." My life will never be the same. I'm the biggest Kanye West fan I know. I've seen him in concert and I've seen Lupe live. Still, nothing compares to what I witnessed last night. I posted up against the wall, drink in hand, and just listened. No. I felt. I couldn't cheer. I couldn't sing along. I couldn't even chant "PLAY ANOTHER SONG" with the rest of the crowd. I just stood there amongst thirty other kids in awe.

The band Speak Easy is the real deal.

Here's the song they played.
