J.J. Abrams, my hero
J.J. Abrams is a true genius. He is a film and television producer, screenwriter, director, actor, composer, and founder of Bad Robot Productions. He is a visionary who relies on mystery and suspense to tell gripping tales of characters people can truly invest in. He is the creative mind behind TV shows Felicity, Alias, Lost, Fringe, and soon-to-be-aired Anatomy of Hope. He is also behind the incredible films Mission: Impossible III, Cloverfield, and Star Trek. According to the latest rumors, he plans to bring sequels to M: I, Star Trek, and Cloverfield in the near future. He will also be directing a novel-to-film adaptation of Stephen King’s “The Dark Tower” with Lost pals Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse. The past, present, and future of Abrams’ career is always bright. His work is often filled with buzz-worthy news and tons of fan-fare. He is a unique figure in the entertainment business. He really understands the intricacies of mystery and how to perfectly manipulate the audience member so that he is brought to the edge of his seat, jaw-dropped, during the climax and then wholly satisfied at the conclusion. I am overly excited about what the future holds with J.J. Abrams at the top of his game. With Lost coming to an end after Season 6 and Fringe on its way to Season 2, I am positive he is well underway creating new mysteries to be witnessed and new characters to be introduced to. While I am enjoying the films and TV series that are currently released and on-air, respectively, I wait with open arms and an open mind to see what Abrams has up his sleeve next.
President Obama, expert fly swatter.
John Hodgeman, true nerd, shares thoughts with Obama
John Hodgeman, best known for his role as “PC” in the Apple commercials, presented a speech at the Radio and Television Correspondents Association Dinner. The speech is directed at President Obama, who Hodgeman considers a nerd at heart. He says, “This is a historic moment…some people say [Obama] is the first nerd president of the modern era.” It’s a good watch.
Your Mac, a comedian.
Here’s a little Easter Egg embedded in Mac OS X. If you have a Mac, try it out.
THE LONELY ISLAND :: The Ultimate Collection
The dudes. Andy Samberg, Jorma Taccone, Akiva Schaffer. You know Andy from Saturday Night Live. His two friends, Jorm and Kiv, are writers for the show. Together they are known as The Lonely Island.
They started as writers for the MTV Movie Awards. Fellow SNL cast member Jimmy Fallon discovered them when he hosted the MTV Movie Awards many years ago. The rest is history.
The Dudes are known for their genius work in the SNL Digital Shorts. It started with “Lettuce,” hit a strong stride with “Jizz in my Pants” and “I’m on a Boat” (feat. T-Pain), and has let to their latest creations, “Motherlover” and “Cool Guys Don’t Look at Explosions.” That lastest video was shown during the 2009 MTV Movie Awards, which Andy Samberg hosted.
Their debut comic album Incredibad is a must-buy. Songs include “Dick in a Box,” “Natalie’s Rap,” “Space Olympics,” and others you may not have heard before, including “Sax Man” (feat. Jack Black) and their retrospective piece, “Incredibad.” Not only is every song funny, but each has its own creative hip-hop beat that beautifully and hilariously mocks the hip-hop and rap genres. Utilizing auto-tune over their witty verses, the Dudes have created a unique work of art that stems from their personal lives and today’s society. Simply put, it is very funny, good music. Preview and purchase it on iTunes here.
Check after the break (click “more…”) for a large collection of some of my favorite songs and videos by The Lonely Island. Also, be sure to check out their YouTube page for all of their work. Some of their early videos (pre-SNL) are hilarious. Keep it coming, Dudes. Continue reading THE LONELY ISLAND :: The Ultimate Collection

KEYBOARD CAT joins Hall & Oats
I know, you can’t help yourself from laughing and singing along. Have fun trying to get this out of your head. Keyboard cat, FTW!
iPhone OS running on a 24-inch monitor?
Most likely fake, but very cool nonetheless. Just imagine.
Flash/Forward
IT IS ALMOST TIME.
This is the first official trailer for ABC’s new drama “Flash Forward.” When I saw this for the first time on TV, the hairs on the back of my neck stood up. For realz.
ABC Fall 2009 Promos
This first commercial is the most interesting. Patrick Dempsey tells “Charlie” he is so dead. Charlie responds by saying, “Actually, I was.” Is Charlie coming back in some form? Hm…
This one is funny. “Jack” asks where the ladel is, and Teri Hatcher says, “It’s on the island.” And then…”Who’s Kate?” Ha!
Watch for the Lost references in these. They’re fun. Check after the break for two more promos. Continue reading ABC Fall 2009 Promos
Auto-Tuning the News – Pure Brilliance
Michael Gregory and his team of comedians have taken YouTube by storm with their creation of “Auto-Tune the News.” Put simply, these group of kids take televised news (mostly political news), manipulate it with auto-tune (think T-Pain style), and put it all on top of catchy beats. The guys themselves (and one girl) pop in and out of the videos, too, adding their own touch to each song. So far, they have created four Auto-Tune the News videos that are posted on YouTube. I have posted my two favorite videos above; the other two can be found embedded after the break. Sit back, relax, and get ready to laugh, bob your head to some catchy tunes, and maybe even learn a thing or two. Also, be sure to check out where you might have seen the creator of Auto-Tune the News in the past…on American Idol! All after the break. Enjoy. (Who knew Katie Couric was a good singer? I still have it in my head–“very thin ice, very thin ice.”) Continue reading Auto-Tuning the News — Pure Brilliance
