The track is un named and unmastered and features Toms staged named "Soda Pop Curtis" rapping his flow. More to come, with beats and lyrics from CC.
Dreaming of a white Christmas? Then you're in for a rude awakening.
The only thing white about this riotously multiethnic black comedy is the blizzard of cocaine that flies through the air as Bing Crosby croons his yuletide standard at an out of control Christmas Eve party.
If I said the latest sortie from cultural subversives Harold Lee (John Cho) and Kumar Patel (Kal Penn) has something to offend everyone, I'd probably be over-estimating the sensitivities of at least some of the 17.4 million Americans who are estimated to use marijuana at least once a month.
Still, I imagine that the running gag about an infant inadvertently exposed to pot, coke and ecstasy might strike some people as pretty near the knuckle. Others will choke when the always game Neil Patrick Harris -- playing himself -- explains his miraculous resurrection with reference to a run-in with Jesus, who didn't take kindly to Harris making out with His groupies.
Then there are the gags -- good, bad and indifferent - that deliberately play up ethnic stereotypes: jailbird Latinos, gangsta African-Americans, tight-fisted Jews, bloodthirsty Slavs, square and boring WASPS. The subtler joke being that Harold and Kumar's own ethnicity is invisible -- except to the occasional bigots they encounter. ("Sorry, I don't date black guys," says the Ukrainian virgin, Mary, as she rejects Kumar in favor of Korean-American Harold.)
You want a plot? It's set six years after the boys escaped from Guantanamo. Harold is now a successful Wall Street executive, married, clean and sober. He's washed his hands of Kumar, who's still a bonafide pothead and no further along in life than he ever was. But the ex-best friends are reunited in a typically quixotic quest to get their hands on a 12-foot Christmas tree before Midnight Mass comes out.
Maybe the movie does pander to a certain slacker sexism -- but even that's tempered by an eye-watering item when one of the boys gets stuck to an icy pole, "A Christmas Story"-style (only it's not his tongue that's stuck). That's male bonding of an especially painful kind -- and marks the natural culmination for a buddy dynamic that's deeply engrained in our movies, from Laurel and Hardy, Abbott and Costello, Hope and Crosby, Martin and Lewis, Cheech and Chong, and Bill and Ted all the way to "Dumb & Dumber." It's a tradition that Cho and Penn sustain with as much charm as circumstances allow.
In a week when a French satirical magazine was firebombed for publishing an issue guest-edited by the prophet Mohammed (or so they claimed), there is definitely something to be said for a movie that takes a blowtorch to political correctness and even puts a bullet in the head of old Saint Nick. By offending everyone, the theory goes, no one needs be offended.
It's a patchy affair, these things almost always are, but a commendably trim 90-minute running time keeps things hopping. The film hits an early high with a series of inspired gags breaking the fourth wall to poke fun at its own 3D gimmickry.
Director Todd Strauss-Schulson throws in a horrific claymation fantasy, doffs his cap at Busby Berkeley and shoots an egg-throwing sequence as if he's John Woo, just because he can. The yolks on us, I guess. At regular intervals he sends clouds of pot wafting towards the audience. You don't need to be an expert in
There’s no word yet on when/where another season of MTV’s hit series will film, but Snooki isn’t worried. The self-proclaimed meatball has been saving all her money so she can support herself after the show is off the air.
“‘Jersey Shore’ is going to end soon,” Snooki told GQ. “I’m not going to spend money like Mike. He’s already broke.”
And though season 5 will most likely follow “Shore’s” surefire format, Snooks said she would do things a little differently if she were in charge.
“I wouldn't show as much drinking and partying,” she said. “I would show more of us chilling out and having a good time. … They don't show anything but us drinking and hooking up.”
“I think that if they showed the sober side of us, people would like it even more and it'd even change people's minds about us,” she added.
Snooki, who has one best-selling novel under her belt and another work of fiction on the way, also informed GQ that she's not really into reading.
"I don't read. I don't like to read 'Harry Potter' or anything like that. It's not my style."
When GQ pointed out that she's a New York Times best-selling author, Snooki responds that "doesn't mean I have to read."
For those fans who want to relive season 4, the four-disc set, which includes all 12 uncensored episodes, as well as bonus footage, will be available in stores on December 27. And if you’re experiencing GTL withdrawals with “Jersey Shore” on hiatus, fear not - your favorite fist-pumpers will be back before you know it.
Home from Italy, the gang reunites in Seaside Heights for “Shore’s” fifth season, which will air on January 5.
What we know so far: Vinny took a break from filming at the start of the season to “recharge his batteries.” But we’ll have to wait until 2012 to see the rest of the drama unfold. Well, at least the drama that's not included in this 3 minute sneak peek.
Two years after tying the knot, actress/singer Zooey Deschanel and musician Ben Gibbard are going their separate ways. A rep for Gibbard, frontman for the band Death Cab for Cutie, confirmed the split to CNN.
An unnamed source tells Us Weekly that the split was amicable and mutual, and wasn't caused by a third party.
According to the Los Angeles Times, the pair met through a mutual manager three years ago (Zooey's also in a band of her own: She & Him). The two wed near Seattle in 2009 after Gibbard proposed to Deschanel with a three carat diamond and platinum ring, People magazine reports.
In a recent interview with iVillage, Deschanel opened up about her relationship with Gibbard, reiterating that marriage takes work.
"The most surprising thing is that it's not really different," she said in the July, 2011 interview. "You still have to make a commitment and think about that commitment every day. It's not like you get married and then all the work is done for you. You get married and you're still in a relationship and you're still doing your best to make it the best relationship you can...You still have to make the effort and be kind and understanding."
Professionally, Deschanel is staying plenty busy: Her Fox show "New Girl" has been a success and was picked up for a full season earlier in the fall, and she just released her Christmas album, "A Very She & Him Christmas."
SO I FINALLY DECIDED TO MAKE A YOUTUBE CHANNEL, AND RECORD MY RANDOM ANTICS IN THE CITY OF ANGELS, SOMETIMES IT WILL BE ART, AND SOMETIMES JUST PLAIN STUPID TOM-FOOLERY. I CANT WAIT TO START POSTING, BE SURE TO COMMENTS AND SPREAD THE WORD.
So Rihanna Has topped herself again, with her newest video on her up coming album "TALK THAT TALK" its a gritty, and realistic look, at how a damaging relationship when ur in it, can feel comforting, and when its all over, you would almost do anything to go back just to experience the good that was in all the bad. it a dark deep video, and it hits home to many. by far my favorite video, it shows a great new adult side to Rihanna, that i think even the un-fans will love
A broken heart (or heartbreak) is a common metaphor used to describe the intense emotional pain or suffering one feels after losing a loved one, through death,divorce, breakup, moving, being rejected, or other means.
Heartbreak is usually associated with losing a family member or spouse, though losing a parent, child, pet, or close friend can also "break one's heart". The phrase refers to the physical pain one may feel in the chest as a result of the loss. Although "heartbreak" is usually a metaphor, there is a condition known as "broken heart syndrome", where a traumatizing incident triggers the brain to distribute chemicals that weaken heart tissue.
Recently i was in a relationship, one that i thought would most likely be my last, or in my case, one i hoped would be my last, you know when you collect all the past relationships, and you self evaluate, and you try your hardest to change the petty and ridiculous things you did? that's what i had done, a full makeover, and changed the way i was, be a new me, TRY, WORK HARD, don't be Lazy with this one, that's what i wanted to do, "make it work" but i found that i was the only one trying in time, yeah i had an amazing time, yeah i was happy when i was around them, but it was the energy and time they were putting forward that was weak. you cant be with someone for five months, and set them on the back burner, you cant expect that pot to simmer, it eventually boils over, or simmers out, you cant make a schedule for what is suppose to take it's natural course, no one wants to feel like they are on a scheduled routine, now i don't wanna point fingers, that's not what I'm about, but i do wanna say, be a team with whoever you are with, don't let one do all the work, while the other reaps the benefits, a text message, a phone call, a visit, goes a long way, to make someone feel loved, and wanted, and all though my heart hurts right now, I'm a bog boy, and that will heal in time, i just thought id open the eyes for a few, be a love super hero, because i do truly believe in LOVE.
