No, I didn’t think I’d ever put “postmodern” and “Jean Claude Van Damme” in the same sentence either–but, well, here’s the excellent trailer for JCVD. Goddamn, I want to see this. Watching that trailer makes me want to see this again:

Mom… Stop Telling Me WHAT TO DO!
Sure, kicking pageant moms is like tipping cows, but I’m sorry! Beauty pageant moms who won’t stop prompting their daughter/contestants are always funny! And so are the gay dance instructors that are hired to freak out their four-year-old students. Happily, the following video has both. Tip o’ the hat to Rich Four Four.

Womanizer: New Britney Video!
I’ll admit it, I did not trip over my chair in a mad rush to see Britney Spear’s new video “Womanizer” when it debuted on 20/20 (?) on Friday. But guess what? Now my ass is sore from kicking it, because I can’t believe I went the whole weekend without watching a nude Britney sweating […]

Your Daily Reminder That David Fincher Is An Amazing Director.
Wieden and Kennedy’s latest ad for Nike, directed by David Fincher: Goddamn. Fincher’s next film, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, comes out on Christmas Day. Thanks to Ezra for the heads up.

Make Way for Karate Monkey!
Maybe I’ve just burned out on John McCain’s incessant and ridiculous efforts to prove he’s “presidential,” but now I’m even getting cynical about monkeys who want to prove they can do human jobs. Earlier this week I brought you the Japanese waiter monkey who served drinks and hot towels to customers. Today, it’s yet ANOTHER […]
