Once in a while, a video will get posted on the Bloglin in the middle of the night after I’m asleep. In the morning while I’m getting my shit together, I’ll watch it. This is what happened with the above video. I almost called out of work because it. I felt like my whole day was already ruined and I wasn’t even dressed yet.

Sure to become a cult classic, Mystery Team was written by and stars the folks from Derrick Comedy. Three friends who spent their childhood solving small-time mysteries are now seniors in high school and get their first big case – a murder. As a mystery movie, it was suprisingly intelligent and layered well. It’s the sort of mystery that’s been lacking in movies for some time and honestly reminiscent of Chinatown at times. As a comedy, it had plenty of LOL moments. I almost spit-taked my beer at one point. Totally quotable all the way through and they only stooped to a poop joke once. Actor D.C. Pierson (top picture – right) was in attendance at my screening and noted that “When you have fake shit on your hands, people treat you like you have real shit on your hands.” That made me laugh.

But I had one problem with Mystery Team that I couldn’t get past = the characters are man-boys. They are high school seniors acting like they’re in middle school. They don’t know what the word “pussy” means and say things like “gumballs!” instead of “fuck.” It’s the kind of character Will Ferrel played out over the years. It’s so irritating and made me not give a gumball about the characters. Pierson stated that the concept was to take G-rated characters and throw them into an R-rated world. I get that. But they were like cartoon versions of G-rated characters. Way too G.

The movie spoofs on old boy detective series like Encyclopedia Brown and The Hardy Boys, but The Venture Brothers covered that territory first and did it better. Man, I love Venture Brothers. It’s got such a deep mythos and it respects and trusts the intelligence of its audience. Mystery Team knew the territory well and pulled off a great mystery, then, you know…man-boys.

This is a bit old, but still funny nonetheless!

It’s time for BSG fans to get in touch with their feminine side. After waiting nine months for a new episode of Caprica, I’d say I’m satisfied. It’s essentially a drama with a mechanical girl at its core. We trade in our spaceships and guns for fedoras and unstable marriages. But there’s something hypnotic about it. Could be that at the center of this operatic story is a young girl trapped inside a massive mechanical body. We sympathize with her, but we still don’t know what her and Ben were planning to do with virtual Zoe. With the real Zoe gone, is Zoe 2.0 going to go along with their plan or say fuck it to monotheistic terrorism all together? Also, I found how they shifted from shots of Zoe to her hulking frame was effective.

Even though it’s the well-established BSG universe, they still had a lot of world building to do, and I’d say mission accomplished. We got a better feel for the characters and Caprica itself. We visited the streets of Little Tauron, a commons area during the memorial, and even the Pyramid stadium for a Caprica Buccaneers game (the CGI crowd looked terrible). I never liked the infusion of a professional sport into BSG – it’s really pointless – but getting to hear a bit of the Caprica national anthem was cool.

So far, Daniel Graystone (Eric Stoltz) is the most interesting character to me. He seems to be completely over the fact that his daughter is dead and her consciousness is inside this huge robot. Seriously, did he forget Zoe is in there? He’s more concerned with being able to duplicate this robot. He’s also obviously lying to Joseph Adama about Tamara being “erased.” Government contracts aside, Daniel’s on his own shit with these robots and I’m stoked for the Stoltz to see it through.

It’s cool to see little Willy Adama interact with Joseph, who was frequently mentioned on BSG. Willy’s just a kid with a lot of grief and no outlet. As the series progresses it’ll be interesting to watch the rift between father and son grow wider. For now he’s latched onto Uncle Sam, who I totally forgot was gay and married. A Tauron immigrant gay mob enforcer showing Willy how to get away with smashing store windows? Awesome.

As another day winded down at 350 Broadway, it quickly picked back up when people began to file in one-by-one to get their first peak at the latest art opening. Goblin: A Print Series By Jon Vermilyea brought in a large crowd to 350 Broadway. Some were there because they saw the flyer online or received an email invitation, but there were enough random party-goers shuffling in and out that were simply drawn in by the sick window painting and the prints on the wall.

Soon after we had ourselves a packed house, full of Jon Vermilyea fans, Мишка fans, and local Williamsburg socialites who never turn down a chance to party and free drinks.

A lot of Jon’s closest friends, family and fans came out to get a first hand look at his latest work.

The series is comprised of 8 smaller and 2 larger hand silk screened prints filled with some out the most demented creatures to ever grace (and not grace) the Goblin series. For all of you fans clamoring for more Goblin, this is your chance to own a few of your favorite concoctions from the series that were illustrated by Vermilyea.

A couple of Мишка store locals Scrilla and Weez made their way down for the opening to catch up, politic, and knock back some drinks while trying get to get the scoop on when the Мишка Spring collection is dropping.

That’s Scrotie, mascot for the Rhode Island School of Design’s sports teams – the Nads (hockey) and the Balls (basketball). Go Nads, support your Balls – you see how this works. Classic picture, but really, I just wanted to set up this segue: Speaking of dicks on ice… ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Patrick Kane!

Kane’s latest PR fuck-up has young Patrick in the back of a limo, shirtless and drinking Kokanees with some chicks in Vancouver. This isn’t really crazy – dude’s 21 and rich, can he live? – but elderly Canadians had a blast this week expressing their moral outrage and shaking their heads vigorously. Whatever. Wake me up when he’s smoking meth with underage chicks or bagging a hat trick on acid. Me, I’m just surprised Patty’s not rolling with the kind of boring model chicks I typically associate with hockey bros. No offense to his ladyfriends here – one of whom is real excited to be where she is – but they do not immediately appear to be models. And what the hell is 36-year-old John Madden (not that John Madden, hockey John Madden, formerly of the Devils) doing rolling around with these young ladies? Kris Versteeg gets a pass – he’s 24 – but you’d think Madden would be back at the hotel watching Cinemax or something. At least Kane’s indiscretion lets me play my cranky old-timer card: “In my day, the only time hockey dudes went shirtless was when they were giving each other fist-based concussions…”

At any rate, this is no big deal – especially when compared to Kane’s far more regrettable escapades – e.g., putting on blackface for Halloween and punching out a cabbie over 20 cents. C’mon son.

But out of the limo and on to the ice, where the playoff race is far more compelling than Kane’s “wild” Saturday night. Today’s Hockey Day in Canada, so more on the crowded East after the jump.

How the fuck did I let it go this long without realizing that Krusty was totally a fuckin’ Juggalo? Shame on me! But on the real tho, my boy ThePuppetmaster503 got a show and it’s mad hardcore. Best believe I hit subscribe on his Youtube Channel and I hope y’all do too! Woop! Woop!

I’m really feelin’ that little dude in the background with a Michael Myers Leatherface mask (even though it doesn’t look like any Leatherface mask I’ve ever seen) and a machete. FUCK YOUS HATERS! JUFFALO ASS F-A-G-G-I-T-S!

So remember… If U care fo da bear, then U best be down fo the clown mah ninjas!

Ever since this post, I like to occasionally lurk Lookbook.nu and find clever and stylish uses of our wears. While I know we mostly make men’s wear, it usually is the girls on the site who know how and where to take something of ours in creating a great outfit.

Brooke Bomber took an oversized Mansonic tee, cut it up and assembled a perfectly dark and gothy ensemble around it. It’s actually the ideal way I always envisioned this design being worn…well on a female at least. So to those of you submitting into our new weekly fit competition, use this as measuring stick!

Ben Cook, former vocalist for No Warning, star of a handful of R.L. Stine’s Goosebumps, and of course guitarist for Fucked Up also has his hands (concurrently) in a ton of other great musical projects.  There’s Young Governor, The Bitters, Marvelous Darlings and probably another three or four I’m neglecting or just don’t know about yet. I really have no clue how or where he finds the time, but he does.

Guv Luv Mixtape Vol. 1 is 30 minutes of Lo-Fi/Power Pop/Weirdo goodness from the whole spectrum of projects that Ben is currently working on. You can puchase a copy of the cassatte (which is limited to 66 copies) from South Paw Records or download it for free right here!

I can’t even stress how good Marvelous Darling’s “Teenage Target” is. This is the best Replacements song Paul Westerberg will never ever (and probably couldn’t ever) write. The 7-inch for it comes out in a couple of weeks on Plastic Idol. This future Power Pop anthem is totally reason enough on why you must spend those precious 30 seconds of your life on downloading this mixtape. Don’t be an asshole, download this now! And for those of you wanting to learn more about Ben, here’s a great interview with him from last year.

View the tracklist for Guv Luv Mixtape Vol. 1 after the break.
