Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee
Title says it all really, except that @JerrySeinfeld is the man behind this interview/comedy web series. Kramer and Jerry in the final episode alone makes it worthwhile.

LOOM by Luke Scott
New sci-fi short - LOOM - up from Ridley Scott Jnr, AKA Luke Scott. It owes a lot to Blade Runner, but has a decent dose of originality.

After his supposed retirement/hiatus Clint Eastwood is back in front of the camera, being directed by someone else for the first time since In The Line of Fire. Looks alright too.

Supr Slim Wallet
Thanks to @uncrate I thought I may have finally found a replacement for my custom purple wallet (see below) ....but the Supr Slim Wallet doesn't take notes. I still like to roll Vincent Gallo style.

Trailer Park: Killing Them Softly
Been looking forward to this one for ages - Killing Them Softly is the new movie from director Andrew Dominik (Chopper, Assasination of Jesse James), shot by Greig Fraser (Bright Star, Let Me In, Crossbow) and starring Brad Pitt (Dallas, Kalifornia).
Terrible title. The book it's based on is called Cogan's Trade.

Trailer Park: Skyfall UPDATE!
Looking forward to the next Bond movie. With a bit of luck the producers will capitalise on the best bits of the last two, while dropping the slow pace and boring dross.
Sam Mendes directs, Coen favourite Roger Deakins mans the camera.
Update: He's a new full length trailer too.

Trailer Park: Man of Steel
Teaser up for Zack Snyder's Superman three-boot. Check it out at Apple for the Russell Crowe/Jor-el version, Yahoo for the Kevin Costner/Pa Kent edition.
Looks restrianed and stylish. Let's hope Zack Snyder keeps his usual OTT theatrics under control all the way through.

Promo Promo: OFF! With added Kids In The Hall
OK, it's only Dave Foley making an appearance in this double feature promo for OFF ...styled like a chunk of 80s public access TV. Don't worry, the songs are still only 60 seconds each.

Skate or die: Austyn Gilette
Another stylish skate movie - featuring Austyn Gilette in Quik, from the Eric Koston / Steve Berra entity The Berrics. 'Made possible' by Quiksilver.... whatever that means.

Skate or die: Omar Salazar
I tried to refrain from posting this double-barrelled culture co-opt video, with Nike and Levi's teaming up to take over skateboarding. But the film is so good it would be a shame not too. Not working for the man, just freelancing.

Trailer Park: The Bourne Legacy
Another trailer for Bourne re-boot The Bourne Legacy, though this one sets the movie inside the second Matt Damon movie - and it looks like several characters from the first trilogy reprise their roles here. Clever. Though, kind of like that third Damon movie.

Tougher Than Leather
While digging up old Beastie Boys clips in the last couple of weeks (#RIPMCA) I came accross an upload of the entire Tougher Than Leather movie - starring Run DMC, but with cameos from the Beasties (doing non-album track 'Desperado') and other 80s Def Jam stars.
The movie itself is like a feature-length A-Team episode.

RIP: MCA
Absolutely gutted to hear that MCA has passed away, and I suspect Nathaniel Hornblower might have gone with him. As an 11 year old hip hop fan, the disreputable Beastie Boys were clearly going to be a one hit wonder as far as the parents of the world were concerned, but who would have thought they would have evolved to be so endlessly influential and culturaly significant. As a director, Adam Yauch put his hand to many of the Beasties inspiring videos - and more recently through his company Oscilloscope he has become a truly influential character in the world of indie film.
A true loss that hits hard, especially when he was taken so early. RIP.

The Secret History of East London
Interesting interactive map documenting the supposed rise and fall of East London, whoich Dazed and Confused now seem to be considering 'over' due to the mainstream-ness of the Olympics.
I added one of many anecdotes about the Blue Note in Hoxton Sq.

John Peel's Record Collection
Lovely website up documenting John Peel's record collection, with an interactive view of his studio, plus clickable racks of records with scanned covers and links to play on Spotify where available. It's just the first 100 A's for now, with a plan to upload the first 100 of a new letter every week. That's still going to be a tiny dent of the 24,000 LPs and 40,000 singles ...but it's a start.

Trailer Park: Lawless
Terrible name, but with a stellar cast, Nick Cave writing and John Hillcoat directing, I'm hoping this prohibition gangster flick is going to be good. Slightly running out of patience with Tom Hardy though.

Trailer Park: Magic Mike
Channing Tatum seems to be attempting to get a serious career going, and starring in Steven Soderbergh's latest film Magic Mike shouldn't do any harm - especially as it's supposedly semi-biographical for Tatum. McRomcomedy seems to be attempting a direction change too. Hopefully he's in the movie more than he is in the trailer.
