New Italian "Inglorious Basterds" Poster
If you are a QT fan than you have to be excited about this August's "Inglorious Basterds." The spelling still confuses me but maybe it will be explained in the movie. After a summer that has only given us 3 great movies (Hangover, Star Trek and Drag Me To Hell) through June, I hope July and this film in August can turn it around. Finally Brad Pitt and Quentin reunite after "True Romance" when QT only wrote the script. This movie is going to be very violent and by the looks of the reviews from CANNES very fun. Brad Pitt is the only real star in the film but QT has a way of brining out the best in character actors. If you haven't guessed by now QT is Quentin Tarantino. Check out the poster for yourselves.

Mos Def "Quiet Dog" on Letterman
If you guys haven't heard Mos Def's music, than you are missing out on something special. I know other rappers are on the radio making music you will forget in 3 weeks. Meanwhile, Mos Def is making meaningful music with a style trying to help the progression of hip-hop. Pick up his new album in stores now or seach "Mos Def" in your iTunes store. Check out Mos Def performing on David Letterman below.

Summer of The Hangover

'The Hangover' has taken Hollywood by storm to become the most profitable film this summer. The Todd Phillips comedy has scored two straight weekends at the number 1. What is it about this movie that is making customers come back for more.? Answer: It's a great movie in a summer filled with disappointing sequels and reboots. 'The Hangover' is an original comedy that doesn't have any real movie stars. Don't take my word for it check out the numbers on movies not reaching their expectations and causing studio executives to scratch their heads.
Angels and Demons
Budget: $150 Million
Actual Earned: $123 Million
Terminator Salvation:
Budget: $200 Million
Actual Earned: $113 Million
Land of the Lost
Budget: $100 Million
Actual Earned: $34 Million
Imagine That
Budget: $55 Million
Actual Earned: $5 Million
The Hangover
Budget: $35 Million
Actual Earned: $105 Million
Maybe it's time to stop rebooting and making sequels? Perhaps studios should stop giving Eddie Murphy and Will Ferrell $20 Million a moive until they produce a hit? With next week not providing a guaranteed hit, look for 'The Hangover' and 'Up' to keep up the big money. For now enjoy the music video for 'Stu's Song.'

Grizzly Bear - Two Weeks (Great Music Video)
I don't know why I like this! For some strange reason this video is fresh and really flows with the song. I am now a fan of Grizzly Bear. Thanks Brian.

The Limousines - Very Busy People (Song)
Every summer a song comes along that will take over the radio and make a generation feel like, "this song is about me." I normally see them from a mile away and this summer is no different. It hasn't gotten much radio play yet, but I'm sure someone at KROQ or MTV will find this soon and make us all regret ever liking it. Just like MGMT last year with 'Time to Pretend.' The Limousines- 'Very Busy People' is that song. The band doesn't even have a music video yet because they're record company probably doesn't know what they have yet. Check it out and listen again. You might find that you love this song as much as I do.
Vania and the Master - Forget
Here's a really cool music video I came across on Kanye's page. Check it out and let me know what you think.
