Kanye West A Sore Loser At MTV Europe Awards
(AP) COPENHAGEN, Denmark Rap star Kanye West was named Best Hip Hop artist but still came off as a sore loser at the MTV Europe Music Awards.
Kanye apparently was so disappointed at not winning for Best Video that he crashed the stage Thursday in Copenhagen when the award was being presented to Justice and Simian for “We Are Your Friends.”
In a tirade riddled with expletives, Kanye said he should have won the prize for his video “Touch The Sky,” because it “cost a million dollars, Pamela Anderson was in it. I was jumping across canyons.”
“If I don’t win, the awards show loses credibility,” Kanye said.

I’m going with FAKE on this one… probably a marketing ploy by Ford, or some kids wanting their 15 minutes of Interweb fame:

Why would someone do this to one of the most expensive production cars in the world today?

The Prestige. Wow. I thought The Departed was one of the best films of the year when I saw it a few weeks ago, but I’m going to have to add this movie to my exclusive list. Folks, this is a great movie.
Most of you may know the basic premise of The Prestige. If not, here it is from the official movie site:
From the time that they first met as young magicians on the rise, Robert Angier and Alfred Borden were competitors. However, their friendly competition evolves into a bitter rivalry making them fierce enemies-for-life and consequently jeopardizing the lives of everyone around them.
That sets up the basic storyline of the movie, but its best to go into it not knowing anything more, as I did. It’ll be a much better experience that way.
Of course, this review would not be complete without a mention of one of the best actors in cinema today: Christian Bale. I may be a little biased here because of my man-crush on Christian Bale, but his acting is excellent as always, althought a bit hard to understand at some points because of his heavy English accent.
I plan on getting the book by Christopher Priest next. I’m sure it’ll be as good, if not better, than the movie.

Its been a while since i’ve posted a movie review here, primarily because most of the movies i’ve seen recently have been mediocre at best (with the exception of Little Miss Sunshine, which I thought was great, but never got around to commenting soon, and which I would give 4 out of 5 Dinostars).
Martin Scorcese’s recent films have been so so. I’ve missed his criminal genre of filmmaking which he basically defined with Goodfellas in the 1990. Gangs of New York was decent, but I didn’t feel it was vintage Scorcese. With The Departed, however, he is back and better than ever.
The Departed is based on the Hong Kong film Infernal Affairs, which is a great movie itself. Scorcese has incorporated many elements from that film into his movie, and has made it even better in some aspects. The Departed is violent and vulgar, like most of Scorcese’s mobster/gang/underworld movies, yet it has its moments of humor which would normally be out of place in a film of this type, but works really well here. Matt Damon, Leo DiCaprio, and Jack Nicholson as a psycho mob boss are all wonderful in their lead roles, and it has a good supporting cast.
I could go on, but sites like Aint It Cool and CHUD have more in-depth reviews, so you’re better off reading those. And if you haven’t seen Infernal Affairs, I would recommend seeing it after this movie. If you have seen it, then you’ll enjoy this. Either way, I absoutely recommend it!
5 out of 5 Dinostars.

At 5,000 pounds a car, or about $10,000 US, totally worth it, i’d say. I forsee a career change in the near future.

Take a gutsy French filmmaker, Claude Lelouch, with access to a 6.9L Mercedes-Benz, put an anonymous Formula 1 driver in said car on the open streets of Paris in early morning, and you get 9 minutes of this from 1976:
Lelouch was arrested after showing this film to the public, but later released. Even so, I know what i’ll be doing when I visit Paris. More information on the film here and here.
