With new releases from Japandroids, JEFF The Brotherhood and Andrew W.K. all on the horizon, it is safe to say that 2012 is becoming more
In a freak combination of events, today's guests and I were able to link up and do a Q&A. These gents are two more

Bluegrass Junction from Sunday May 6, 2012. On this episode, we remember George "Goober" Lindsey (1929-2012). Lindsey is most wel-known for his part as more
You know when you watch movies as a kid, then watch them as an adult and find all sorts of jokes that you didn’t see before? Yeah, same thing going on here, to great hilarity.
Hi, I’m Frank. And I’m a Twitterholic. I’ve been clean for about…35 minutes. It’s a hard battle that I’m facing hour to hour. Everytime I see a something out of the ordinary, I have the strongest urge to stop what I’m doing and get on my phone to tweet txt or rush home to tell everyone what I just saw.
I know I have a problem. And that’s the first step. Now, how did I get here? It started out simple. I’d say “hey, this movie rocks, check it out.” But it was just downhill from there. I was sitting in Church, and the Reverend was speaking a passage when all of a sudden he said “cock” (as in referring to a rooster). A click open and several taps later and on my twitter account was, “LOL HE JUST SAID COCK! [as in referring to a rooster, but the juxtaposition of the person and the word taken out of context made it "lol-worthy"]”
I pressed send, and I looked at my phone. “Was this a sign of things to come?” I pondered to myself. “No. It’s just a one-time deal. It’ll never happen again.” Of course I lied to myself. Upon watching The Day the Earth Stood Still, I tweeted no less than 20 times. For those of you with a calculator, that’s one tweet per six minutes. Examples of said tweets:
“OMG NEO! WHOA, NEO!”
“NEO’S AN ALIEN? WTF?!”
“MAMA BOUCHER IS THE SECRETARY OF DEFENSE? WTFWTFWTF?!?!?!”
Although, in my defense, it was the only way to make the film entertaining. I’m not saying it gives me the right, but….it’s hard, you know? It’s a long battle. I have to realize that when I see a carnival on the road, I have to dial a friend’s number to tell him/her about what I just saw, and not just put it out there on the interwebs.
Now to repost this on my Tumblr….brb.
This is but a taste of the trio that call themselves Derrick Comedy. NYU graduates Dominic Dierkes, Dan Glover, DC Pierson, and Dan Eckman made their own skits and putting them onto youtube. The sketches are for those whose humor spectrum falls into “mildly depraved” and “dead inside,” or as I fondly call myself, a “Deadsie.” “Bro Rape,” “Rookie,” “KP,” and “Spelling Bee” fall into the “Deadsie” while those looking for a lighter (not light, all of them have dark qualities) should check out the above “Keyboard Kid,” “Self Defense,” and “Girls Are Not To Be Trusted”
These guys have become so popular that they made a movie which premiered at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival.
Enjoy
No, this is not some clever editing. This aired on primetime tv.

Create a poster of yourself like the Obama poster. For example:
Lolcats- Obamatized.
The Wrestler. I would describe it, but that would ruin it. 2008 wasn’t the best year for movies, but the top 3 (this along with The Dark Knight and Slumdog Millionaire) are part of the best of the decade. If Mickey Rourke doesn’t win Best Actor, it would be the biggest snub in years.
Giant Internet Meme Drawing
Linked for size, it’s pretty impressive that someone compounded that many internet memes in a single drawing. The only one missing that comes to my mind is “Over 9000!” but complaining about that would be like someone hand making a giant choclate cake with all kinds of designs in the icing, then saying “where are the sprinkles?”

5. Burn After Reading
4. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
3. Wall-e
2. The Dark Knight
1. Slumdog Millionaire
Honorable Mentions: Milk, Zack and Miri Make a Porno, Tropic Thunder
Yet to see: Rachel Getting Married, The Wrestler, Revolutionary Road, Doubt, and some documentaries.
But honestly, past the number 2, there weren’t great movies as there were last year. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is a film I got a giant problem with: closing in on a 3 hour time frame with pointless and flow-breaking scenes. That being said, numbers 1 and 2 are absolutely phenomenal. I guess the point I’m trying to make is that there’s a huge gap between number 2 and 3.
