Too much time…too much genius…

…or both?  You decide with this picture, via Game Culture:

No shield this, bitches!

The Future of Music

On its face, this wildly popular YouTube piece, The TV Theme Medley, is a potpourri of pop-culture fare performed by a talented and versatile musician/tv addict. A deeper analysis after the jump…

Obama Dreams of Ex-Presidents

This is an epic Funny or Die piece. It takes us back through four generations of SNL crews, and highlights some of the best impersonators still walking around. Though, not all of these characters are exactly spot on (cough… Chevy… cough).

Kristianne Baille

These two are destined to one day star in a movie called “Christians Bail.”

Klaus Pierre Private Screening Saturday

Hey kids. Wanted to give you the heads up that Klaus Pierre will be screening his movie Little Klaus, Big World on the west side of Los Angeles on Saturday, February 20th, at noon.

It’s a private showing, so I can’t announce the specific location, but I do happen to have a few invitations I can give out for those who contact me via e-mail (russ@mepreport.com). Viva la Klaus!

Bavatar

Didn’t John Travolta and Kirstie Alley already do this piece 20 years ago? In any case, it’s been a slow few days… But more is to the coming!

Off the Hook Haiti Benefit Rockomedy Concert

Last night I went out to LA’s Wiltern theater to witness a once in a blue moon assortment of talent assembled by Jack Black and co. to raise money for Haiti earthquake survivors.

I recorded some fantastically washed-out grainy video in an attempt to share this experience with you. Not only do the following clips give you a sense of the performances, they also recreate the crowd’s futile attempts to see anything amidst a standing room only mob. In any case, enjoy the festivities:

A truly unexpected performance here from the WWF’s Iron Sheik.

Here’s the Shins’ James Mercer covering Neil Young’s Don’t Let it Bring You Down

Genius comedian Patton Oswalt regaled the crowd with his angry musings before an Aimee Mann set.

He then brought the house down with his Yoshinoya Beef Bowl routine.

Here’s Ben Stiller vamping on stage with a mysterious figure referring to himself as ‘Fabreeze Fabreeze.’

A vindictive Stiller returned during Tenacious D’s closing act with a giant drum set…

All in all, a very compelling night of entertainment.

Ode to Abbott and Costello

I had a recent conversation with my mom that made me think of a modern day “who’s on first” scenario.

Stacey: Hey Tracy! How was your weekend?

Tracy: Hey girl! It was good. I saw a movie Saturday night.

Stacey: Awesome! What did you see?

David Blaine has a Deathwish

I guess we already knew that David Blaine had a screw loose somewhere. Little did we know that he also subconsciously wanted to commit Hari Kari on national TV. He’s come close several times. Here’s an insight into his warped (and likely brain damaged) mind from TED.
