Amazing Art

Saw this on the TTL Blog and felt compelled to comment. Just to recap, Pharrell Williams and Takeshi Murakami collaborated on a piece that debuted at Art Basel in Switzerland. Murakami did his usual anime monster sculpture (zzzz) and then your boy Skateboard P added a gold bag of Doritos and a cupcake covered in diamonds (courtesy of Jacob the Jeweler). This sold for over $2 million. Are Dick Clark and Ed McMahon hiding behind the sofa waiting for my reaction?

I'll be honest, I always thought Murakami's style was dope but he's deep into one trick pony status at this point, and his "celeb collabos" are real jokes. I am still debating whether the iced-up Pepsi can, the hat or Pharrell's rebuke of "bling" is the dumbest part of this video. This is the type of shit that makes me want to stop using the Internet.

Are You Fucking Kidding Me?

Wow. Call the coroner because it's a fajita for Nicolas Cage's career. Val Kilmer's is on life support and Eva Mendes is now an official D-lister. This is directed by Werner Herzog, but if you told me that it was directed by Master P, I would believe you. I don't know what's worse: the acting, that someone would put Xzibit in a movie, that Xzibit doesn't hold his gun sideways, or that this is a "conceptual" sequel to the incredible Harvey Keitel movie of the same name? Let me save everyone a lot of trouble and just go straight to Blockbuster with this one.
