I bet you guys weren’t aware that they’re filming a movie about the life and loves of one Johny “Prolly” Watson. The film is called Get Pitted! and oddly enough stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt as John Prolly. I guess they wanted to go younger instead of having Donal Logue play our favorite redheaded Viking.

Ok I’m actually pulling your leg, there’s no movie about Prolly in the works (However EA’s Prolly’s Pitted 2011 is totally real), but Joseph Gordon-Levitt is currently in NY filming a movie about bike messengers called Premium Rush. I guess JGL opted not to use a stunt rider a few days ago when he went through the back window of a cab which he then documented the aftermath via video on his Tumblr.

So why the hell am I posting this? Well one it gives me something to tease Prolly with and two because gives me the opportunity to post about Joseph Gordon-Lovitt’s brother’s Tumblr…

JGL has a brother named Dan who has his own tumblr called Burning Dan and, well, Dan is very much a psychedelic warrior. Here’s how Dan describes himself:

I travel the world teaching people to spin fire and be who they want to be. I’m a Flow Artist, performance photographer, swashbuckler, computer programmer and internet citizen bent on saving the world with panache.

I’ve performed on broadway, naked oil wrestled an albino and a porn star, started a school, been in a hurricane, taught a room full of 100 black people to dance, stood on an erupting volcano and built a pillow fort on an airplane. I helped build hitRECord.  I seek to inspire and be inspired in every interaction with everybody I meet. Especially you.

That’s right he taught a room full of 100 black people to dance. Again he taught a room full of 100 black people to dance. WTF!?!? Wait another choice quote from his blog…

Today, I was on a bus in a frontish row and a family of black people tried to get on the bus. The only open seats were behind me in the back. The family felt like they couldn’t squeeze past me to the open seats behind. So I moved to the back of the bus so the black family could have my seat near the front.

I am “Danny, champion of the civil rights.”

His blog is full of so much unintentional hilarity that I wouldn’t be surprised if it all wasn’t some elaborate act, but somehow I doubt that.
