Best Robbery Attempt Ever!

Posted by Tamara | Posted on 03-02-2010

This is an oldie but goodie. This has got to be the most persistent robber out there…he nearly kills himself trying to break into this liquor store but refuses to give up! It’s painful to watch! You have to see the whole thing, seriously…the ending is brilliant. Seems he could saved himself a lot of trouble (and pain) if he had just used the front door from the get go. Check it:

Favorite Grammy Performance

Posted by Tamara | Posted on 01-02-2010

Say what you will about Pink, but homegirl killed it last night. I was really expecting Beyonce or Gaga to steal the night, but really it was Pink…and Taylor Swift. Speaking of which, I still can’t understand why she won Album of the Year?! Where was Kanye when you needed him??

CL!CK: A LEGO Short Film

Posted by Tamara | Posted on 27-01-2010

I swiped this video from my friend Eddie’s Facebook wall. Watch it and you will understand why I had to share. It’s such a cool little film, and if you grew up on LEGO’s like me…you will really dig it. The style is very reminiscent of one of my favorite directors ever Monsieur Michel Gondry. Regardez:

Kid Prodigy: Football Phenom Cody Paul, 8 years old

Posted by Tamara | Posted on 23-01-2010

#5 Cody Paul. I really can’t say much more than to just watch the video. This kid is better than guys twice his size. He’s quick, he can move and he’s got a little attitude to match.  Seriously, check him…he’s incredible!

If you are in LA (or have watched the news in the past few days), then you know rain, hail, thunder and flooding has taken over Southern California. The sun attempts to peak through every once in awhile, but to no real avail. Five straight days of torrential downpour call for some Portishead. Enjoy:

Um…this is kind of amazing. I’ll be the first to tell you that I LOVED Avatar. I was thoroughly entertained (visually) for the entire film. I watched the “Behind the Scenes: Avatar” and it was really cool to see how James Cameron made this film really come to life. The whole process was completely fascinating. A friend forwarded the “Original” breakdown for Avatar (and Pocahontas) to me and I just had to share. Seriously, kind of amazing right?!

Check out this video of a flying car!! Seriously! It’s more of a remote control flying Lexus, but it’s airborne nonetheless! It seems they used a balloon, propeller type contraption….where do I get my hands on one of these?! It would really help me out with LA traffic.
