VDO: Green Porn

Isabella Rossellini just Dallas Motorcade 1963ed our heads with these instructional videos on how insects copulate. Mostly gross; slightly gastly; all amazing
It’s really funny because she plays mostly the male roles. As a drone bee Isabella exclaims:
“MY PENIS WOULD BREAK OFF AND GET STUCK IN HER VAGINA LIKE A CORK IN A BOTTLE!”
We also learned that a snail’s anus sits on top of its head when it’s in the shell. That means they poo on their heads.

Debate over Marion Cotillard’s 9/11 comments

Oscar-winner Marion Cotillard (La Vie Rose) made her thoughts on 9/11 clear in an interview about a year ago on Paris Première - Paris Dernière:

“I think we’re lied to about a number of things,” Cotillard said. “We see other towers of the same kind being hit by planes. Are they burned? They [sic] was a tower, I believe it was in Spain, which burnt for 24 hours. It never collapsed. None of these towers collapsed. And there [in New York], in a few minutes, the whole thing collapsed.”

Human Giant Season 2

 

Next Tuesday Human Giant returns with a whole batch of new poison for you to pump directly into your veins.

In general, I am skeptical about sketch comedy shows–about comedy in general–but I after I watched this Carpet Monkey promo for Season 2 I kept going back for more. Seriously funny. Just wander around the Human Giant YouTube Channel.

Human Giant, Tuesday March 11, 11pm on MTV.

Dream again: The Tempest comes to the East Village

LVHRD member Aaron Lackman with Violet Hour Productions is producing Shakespeare’s The Tempest at La Plaza Cultural in the East Village.

The play is free to the public (donations appreciated) and begins at 8pm on selected nights through the middle of August.

Because we love words and literature here is a very famous passage from The Tempest:

Be not afeard; the isle is full of noises,
Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices
That, if I then…

Man vs. Wild is fake. So is Disney.

Because all news can’t be good news:

Times Online and the New York Post report that the stunts and survival tactics performed on Discovery Channel’s show Man vs. Wild are rehearsed beforehand with host Bear Grylls, who stays at resorts near the “wild” between shooting days.

And when Bear just so happened to stumble upon wild Mustangs during the Sierra Nevada survival segment…yeah…those were brought in by the crew. Discovery Channel confirms this by the way.

This makes us sad. We like Man vs. Wild. Why couldn’t they do the show for real?…

June 16th is Bloomsday, the annual celebration that commemorates the day in 1904 Stephen Dedalus and Harold Bloom spent wandering Dublin in James Joyce’s Ulysses.

The Symphony Space’s 26th annual Bloomsday celebration on Broadway is a 12 hour orgy of actors reading Joyce’s novels and letters at the Peter Jay Sharp Theatre. There’s even an opera this year.

Morio Kazama is the Karaoke Man

The blurb at the bottom of the flyer for the Japanese one-man play, Karaoke Man, reads, “This play cannot be more Japanese.” Nevermind that it’s in Japanese with English subtitles. We think they mean [infidelity] * [corporate oppression / karaoke]= Japanese.

Karaoke Man features Morio Kazama as a corporate workhorse who can only truly express himself through karaoke. Over the course of the play, Kazama reveals his character’s many-faceted existence, portraying the karaoke man as a husband, father, son, lover, and leaden businessman.

Kazama is revered in Japanese theatre and film.…
