Now this is larping…

OK, so this music video has been making the rounds around the Net recently (but apparently it’s been available since May), and I feel obligated to comment on it.  And I honestly don’t know what to say.  Is it amazing?  Frightening?  Stupid?  Epic?  Awesome?  It’s all of those things, and more.  I must’ve seen this video nearly a dozen times already, and I just saw it for the first time earlier today.  Everytime I watch it, there’s always something new that makes me go, “What the *&^% is going on?”  I honestly don’t know why I want to keep watching, maybe it’s the hot redhead.  Maybe it’s Chris Dane Owens’ piercing blue eyes.  I don’t know, and at this point I don’t care.  All I want to know is, “Can I grow a moustache like that?”  I hope so.  Shine on, CDO, shine on…

For a hi-res version, go here.

New ‘Quantum of Solace’ Theme Song!

LOL

make it stop. MAKE IT STOP!!!

OK, so I just finished up a rough draft of a screenplay for a class, and a re-edit of a paper for another class, all of which took the better part of the weekend. So, to reward myself, I decide to fire up the Wii, which hasn’t gotten much love in a while. Then I thought, ‘Hmm…I want to cut people in half today, so I’ll play No More Heroes.’

Only I didn’t go around cutting people in half, I spent a good hour in the various shops, trying on different clothes. I know, it sounds pretty um…not masculine considering the game has you slicing people apart, but it’s a little addicting to buy all the different clothes.

Anyway, there’s this song that plays in the shops by some group I’ve never heard of. Apparently the music video is available in the European and Japanese versions of the game, but for us U.S. gamers, we just get the song played in the shops.

And the song is stuck in my head. IT. WON’T. GO. AWAY.

She’s still got it (the body, I mean)

For someone who’s pushing 40, she still looks as good as any 20-year-old. Touch My Body is an OK song at best (better than anything on Charmbracelet at least) but her vocals are still good. Can she do a proper follow-up to the excellent Mimi? Hope so. There’s an excellent blog post here about Mariah Carey and her possible second comeback.

Funniest part of the whole video:

Mariah Carey: Compunerd?

Jack McBrayer: Wassup?
