You game?


You game?
Lars von Trier’s Antichrist – Official Trailer from Zentropa on Vimeo.
I’m not usually a fan of Willem Dafoe but Antichrist like a promising movie. Paired with Charlotte Gainsbourg, Dafoe looks like a perfect choice for this flick.
The storyline is a couple escapes to Eden, their cabin in the woods to repair their broken marriage and rekindle their love. Pleasant right? Well, shit goes downhill from there as Charlotte’s character begins to be tormented by nature. A whole series of “Omen-esque” montages take place, showing animals preparing for the arrival of the Beast. Because nature is Satan’s church after all!
No word on the US release, but I’ll try to keep you posted!
I’m sorry John! I couldn’t resist…

I’ve seen a good amount of ads where BMW and Audi take shots at eachother, but this has got to be the best one yet.
If you can’t read it the Audi sign reads “Your Move, BMW”

Andy T. came out to Peel Sessions last night and snapped some pics of us riding. After we made a bank against a fence, we set up this wedge. Awesomeness ensued and my wrists are killing me this morning!
Timing this on a fixed gear is no joke because you have to pedal all the time. Getting your pedals right to bunnyhop at the right moment takes timing!
Check it out larger here and the rest of Andy’s pics are here!
While I was up late last night I caught FOX had launched a brand new syndicated show called Beyond Twisted, from the same guys who brought you TMZ. Surprisingly though, the show doesn’t have a website. Who the hell launches a show in this day and age without a website? Especially when you’re run by TMZ!? But anyway…
Basically the show simply culls Viral Videos from across the internet and creates a 30 minute TV show out of them with, that’s right… Frank Nicotero (of Street Smarts fame)! *a round of applause* as the host who does his best Bob Saget impersonations over the super pixelated clips. I know someone else has tried this before (I’ve seen it while flying Jet Blue) and failed, but then again they didn’t have Frank Nicotero on board! Anyway don’t judge me, I don’t have cable so this is very much my idea of cable!
Like a lot of Prolly’s posts, the show consists of videos everyone and their parents have seen while online (and sometimes a year ago). For example, the World of Warcraft Freakout made the first episode for the 30 or so people who hadn’t yet seen it. Curiously they cut out the best part of freakout… the whole remote control up the ass! Why? It was TV safe! But they also scour YouTube long and hard to unearth gems like this one, which I had never seen!
It’s an Iguana farting (The pooping was cut from the episode much like the remote control up the ass)! Absolute genius!!! Anyway, for some retarded reason I find the show strangely compelling and lovable… like John Prolly. I suppose those people who still aren’t up on such cockamamie inventions like email, Youtube and the Worldwide Interwebz deserve their World of Warcraft freakouts too! I just wonder if this well worn classic will ever make it on the air before he show is inevitably cancelled?
Has anyone proven this to be a fake yet!??
Man, being a kid must be rough nowadays. I was thinking about what I would spend my time doing when I was 14 & 15 and it usually involved either skateboarding, surfing or blowing shit up. Now kids just develop carpal tunnel at an earlier age playing online games. Kid’s gonna have an ulcer at 17 mark my words.
As a follow up to the last post.
This just came out last week, so no Prolly’d status for me.
Also this follow-up
BFF09 Week Edit pt. 1 from John Prolly on Vimeo.
I made two edits showcasing the riding and general jackassery that took place over the past week here in NYC. A lot of people came here for the 9th annual Bicycle Film Festival and since the fixed gear scene is so tightly knit in this great City, I ended up taking care of the out-of-towners.

Because of the weather, we really didn’t get to ride a whole lot, but that didn’t keep us from having a blast. That being said, make sure to check and see when the BFF is coming to your city!
So this isn’t the first time someone freaked out about the World of Warcraft. This kid’s mom cancalled his account, which inspired his little brother to hide a camera in his room to catch the freak out. Insanity ensues and he even sticks a remote up his ass. To boot, I just noticed the calendar on the wall featuring Brian’s gay brother Jasper.

Please tell me none of you guys have seen this. Or am I about to get Prolly’d again!?
I would imagine that Mark-Paul Gosselaar could be much less of a good sport if he wasn’t such a good sport. Or something. I do, however, concur with the Bloglin-wide statute that states, To Wit: The Jimmy Fallon Show Is Nigh-Unwatchable.
