Looks like AJW,one of our favorite Space 1026ers, is branching out into the video world. Hmm, his first one seems to be the old make-somebody-pee-in-their-sleep trick and OH MY GOD. Just... just click on the pic below, to get redirected to his YouTube page.

Goddamnit, why are puppets always funny? Especially when smoke crack and say 'fuck' a lot.
This is just a trailer; here's the summary for the made-in-Philly 'doc' The Play-Station Killed the Puppet:
The Play-Station Killed the Puppet is a Documentary that follows the life of a puppet named Lil' Ronnie. Lil' Ronnie lives in a society of puppets and humans that is based on class, race, gender, sexuality and privilege as is our society. Lil' Ronnie is a washed up child actor who was big in the 80's. Lil' Ronnie is currently working in a run down children's theater. His life suddenly changes when he demands more out of his life and quits the children's theater. He finds himself like Alice tumbling down the proverbial rabbit hole. During his travels Lil' Ronnie encounters pimps, prostitutes, addicts, drug dealers, gangsters; the derelicts of our society. Lil' Ronnie finds himself in some very precarious situations. Lil' Ronnie has to find a way out or become just another number.With god as our witness, we promise to give you screening info when we get it.

I love how they play this straight, like it's no big thang that the entire movie is made up of mannequin people. It screens tonight at the Piazza as part of the PUFF movie series.
I caught the tail end of the Philly-shot Mannequin 2: On the Move last night and have come to the conclusion that mannequins need to factor into more movies. That's clearly what Hollywood is missing.
Eve's Necklace, Fri., April 16, screening starts at dusk, free, Piazza at Schmidts, 1050 N. Hancock St., philadelphiaindependentfilmfestival.com.

So Kool Keith made a music video for It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia's Dick Towel. (It's NSFW, clearly.)
And Kool Keith becomes the official hero of Critical Mass.
Also: A belated congratulations to Mac and Sweet Dee on their impending dumpster baby.

Magic everywhere in this bitch, it's all around you and you don't even know it.
2009 was the year Juggalos became a mainstream laughingstock, not just an underground one. (Before that SNL skit, and the ridiculous mosh pit videos, Tom Scharpling and Paul F. Tompkins paved the way during the brilliant 7/29/2009 episode of The Best Show on WFMU — listen here.)
2010 is the year the Insane Clown Posse capitalizes on its upped profile. I'm sure they're (secretly) proud of the recent episode of Law & Order about the Juggalo murderers, but the coup de grace is "Miracles," wherein they tackle all the mystery and wonder that surrounds us everyday. Granted, some of these mysteries can be solved by Googling phrases like "fuckin' magnets, how do they work?" and "why do giraffes have those long fuckin' necks?"
I'd assumed everybody had seen this by now, but an informal poll around the office tells me no. Enjoy
I just want to point out that in this music video miracles is spelled mirables at 1:32. They can't even spell the name of the song right in the video.
To Jefecito - Your eyes must be crossed. It doesn't spell out "mirables"??? Look again idiot That's a C not a B. There is artwork in the backround.
The only ones laughing are the juggalos and ICP will never be mainstream no matter how big the juggalo family gets! Mainsteam pussies are told what to do by their record companies, what songs to sing, what kind of music to write, all that kind of shit. ICP made it themselves and never succumbed to the pressure of record labels. They got so fed it up with that shit they started their own Psychopathic Records. Juggalos4Life!
Nash Edgerton's feature debut The Square gets its Philly premiere tonight at the Philadelphia FIlm Society's Spring Preview. The Square features Edgerton's short film Spider. Watch it so you know what you're getting into and don't say we didn't warn you.
Here's what Gary M. Kramer had to say about The Square:
Delivering on the promise director Nash Edgerton displayed in his short, Spider (which unspools here, too), The Square alternates between nervous hilarity and gasp-inducing shock. After Carla (Claire van der Boom) discovers her husband's bag of cash, she gives her married lover, Ray (David Roberts), an ultimatum: Help her steal the cash and escape or she will end their relationship. Ray reluctantly, perhaps foolishly, agrees. Using the kickbacks he's getting at work, Ray hires an arsonist (Joel Edgerton, the director's brother and co-screenwriter) to mask their crime. This being a film noir, nothing goes as planned. Soon, Ray is being blackmailed, and he must discover his tormentor and cover his tracks. Edgerton ratchets up the tension throughout, boxing Ray and Carla into tight, uncomfortable situations that are riveting to the end, when the filmmaker pulls the rug — if not the floor — out from under everyone.
The Square, Fri., April 9, 9:45 p.m., free, Prince Music Theater, 1412 Chestnut St., filmadelphia.org.
