After the release of Micheal Gondry's latest flick, "Be Kind Rewind" last month, the number of "sweded" films has exploded! "Sweding" is the low-brow process of remaking your favorite movies ala the personal video camera, no budget, and a few friends. The results, especially from the UK, are incredibly entertaining to watch. My personal favorites are posted below. They contain the best balance of self ridicule and good-honest-resourcefulness.
Jurassic Park
Star Wars a Cardboard Hope
Donnie Darko

The Age of the Understatement
Bollocks. Simply Bollocks. The new collaboration between Alex Tuner (of the Artic Monkeys) and Miles Kane has an album due April 2008. The first single and video from the duo known as The Last Shadow Puppets is The Age of the Understatement. Visually the video works well with the heavy Russian tone of the song. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

El Porto
This past weekend I relocated to El Porto aka North Manhattan Beach. It has been an adventure already. My commute went from 3 miles round trip to 25+ miles. Which on a fixed gear bicycle takes me a little less then an hour each way.
The exercise is great but the surf @ El Porto is even better.
