(THE THIN RED LINE)

If the above 12 actors aren’t enough reason to go back and check out “Thin Red Line,” the tragically overlooked war movie (maybe one of the best war movies of all time), then at least see it so you can tell your friends you have been watching Terrence Malick films of late, and that you can’t wait until Tree of Life comes out, to see Brad Pitt and Sean Penn search for immortality.

That’ll get them thinking your scholarly!

Whether or not you watch this show (it is currently finishing up its auditions on NBC before the finalists move on and compete to win), I’m predicting that this man, Sean Cullen, from Petersborough, Ontario, and formerly of one of the original comedy performance bands Corky and the Juice Pigs (well before Flight of the Conchords or Tenacious D), will likely win the whole thing.

Either way, this show will get a good amount of exposure for him, which is only a good thing, as I think he’s one of the funniest comedians I’ve watched in a while.

Check out more of his work on his site, and if you want more, enjoy this two bits about foods people choose to be killed by.

“Food of Your Choice” #1
 

“Food of Your Choice” #2

I returned from week up in the Northwoods of Ontario, Canada, amidst a cage match between the two US presidential candidates, only to have a buddy of mine from Japan send me a link which is, well, astonishing to say the least.

eMobile, a Japanese mobile phone company, is running a campaign, with a monkey, playing the part of . . . . . Barack Obama. They even lifted his campaign slogan, declaring “Yes, We Change!”

Do the Japanese creatives even KNOW how racist this is? I can’t wait for CNN and MSNBC and FOXNEWS of America to get a hold of this one.

Check it out now, and judge for yourself.
