Australian Crime Dramas

I've seen some comparisons to The Godfather, Goodfellas, and works by the Coen Brothers. I wouldn't go that far, but both of these films are solid.(Animal Kingdom being the better of the two)

Some good films down under.

Imani (The Pharcyde) Interview

Pardon me, Uncle Imani ("I'm 40 years old; I'm an uncle; I be talkin' shit...")

He's pretty candid in the interview and covers the origins of the group, up to their reunion at Rock The Bells.

Betty White

I tell dirty jokes and it's funny because I'm old.

Err...no.



Please go away.

I mean that in the nicest way possible

John Gaudy

Still haven't found the right colors for this site.

Put This On

I've shown love to this blog in the past, but I'll do it again as I think it's one of the best men's style blogs on the net.

Lately I've been thinking about tightening up my wardrobe, and I found a great entry on the site listing a few essential items a man should have in his closet, including:

Navy blue blazer
Straight-cut blue jeans
Mid-gray wool pants
White and light blue shirts
Plain white sneakers

Pretty basic, huh? Well it works. I haven't done any real shopping in over 3 years, and I've been able to keep myself looking decent. I try to keep away from the items that appear to be time sensitive (uhm...boat shoes).

For a full list of essential items, check out the blog post here: The Essential Man's Wardrobe

They also produce videos covering different elements on men's style. The latest episode features director Paul Feig (Arrested Development, The Office), and nerdboyfriend's Roxana Altamirano, who I could listen to talk about clothes all day (she's very sweet).

Finally, Put This On hosts Jesse and Adam recently appeared on the podcast Battleship Pretension, where they discuss some of their favorite style icons and items that have appeared in past films. Michael Cera and Joseph Gordon-Levitt (favorites of this blog) are both mentioned. The conversation gets a little sophomoric at times, so if you're easily offended, you may want to skip.

Rikki Tikki Tavi (Chuck Jones, 1975)

Nagaina's voice still brings chills.

Sloan

Getting more difficult to isolate her in screen captures.

Are we all still watching Entourage? I hope so, because it hasn't been this good since season 2. Best of all it's a different type of good. The stakes seem a lot higher this season and issues aren't exactly wrapping up as neatly as they have in the past. The only issue I have with this season is the overabundance of cameos (come on...Kevin Love?), and the wack storyline that Turtle is involved in.

E, please slap the shit out of Vince.

Thanks.
