PEE WEE SPEAKS and more
In a recent interview, Paul Reubens told MTV details about the two new Pee Wee movies that are currently in the works. One is an extension of Pee Wee’s Playhouse in which all the original characters (such as Miss Yvonne and Penny) venture out of the playhouse and into the vast unexplained territory of “puppetland” (he says it will be like the Wizard of Oz). The other movie is the “dark”, R-rated Pee Wee movie, and will be about Pee Wee becoming an Elvis-like singer/actor and turning into an asshole from all the fame. It’s been almost 20 years since my most favorite of characters graced either the big or small screen.
Unfortunately, Tim Burton will probably not direct either one.
also, new PETA campaign with eva mendez. wow

update
so i havent been on in a while. here are some things that are going on:
first, heres another video that people probably wont watch that is GZA talking shit about 50 cent and soldier boy or whatever that dudes name is.
second, DIVISION EAST SALE ONLINE AND IN NYC THIS WEEKEND.
www.divisioneast.com get into it, please stop sleeping.
other things.
Thrasher magazine. Thrasher is the best skateboarding magazine ever. Transworld has cool pictures and shit but always has super lame articles about nonsense. They do get cool skaters but its just the same run of the mill questions asked. Thrasher completely kills their competition in this idea. Totally interesting and awesome articles about great skaters and a lot of new or up and coming skaters that a lot of people havent heard about. They also cover tons of awesome bands and when i was like 14 and 15 i heard of so many bands that i still listen to today from this magazine. I just renewed my subscription after not having one for the last like 6 years and i couldnt be more excited. Its an amazing magazine and i miss getting psyched every first week of the month waiting for it to come in the mail so i could read it from front to back and then rip out all the gnarly pix and hang them on my wall.
You always see those kids who suck at sports, but are complete sports nerds. Like kids who can regurgitate scotty pippens entire career in stats to you in 10 seconds, but can do a lay up. I was always that kid when it came to skateboarding. maybe not as well knowledged, but i knew my shit back in the day. I could ollie sometimes and half flip everything but nothing else, but i could tell you about how gnarly the new eric koston spread was in a new mag or how awesome chad muska's part in fulfill the dream.
On thinking of that, how good was that video. im just going to list a few videos that i think rule that i can remember watching and thinking wow this is serious.
this is some of my favorites in pictures.
Enjoi- Bag of Suck. This is a newer video compared to the rest but it completely shreds. Every dude in it is killing it, koston, hsu, bartletta, johnson, everyone. this video will blow your mind.
Osiris- The storm. I honestly havent watched this video in maybe 8 years, but i still remember it as being one of the most anticipated releases ever. When it came out it didnt dissapoint. Completely awesome skating with tons of great skaters, lots of great tech stuff. If you have never seen this please god do yourself a favor and watch it. 
Blind Video Days. Super old, lots of old school skating. I believe Ronnie Creger's part in this is ridiculously awesome. Love it or leave it.
Baker2G-7 Day Weekend. This is probably my top video of all time, im sure people will argue but it seriously is amazing. Everyones parts rule, especially Andrew Reynolds. The fact that they lied about shooting this footage for a friends video and then started a completelyyyy different company was crazy. Not to mention they have some of the most serious skaters and just completely scummy dudes. Piss Drunx in full effect, Greco, Dollin, the whole crew.
Rodney Mullen vs. Daewon Song-Round 1. when i first recieved this video i think i watched it like 10 times in a row. Both dudes completely blow your mind on the tech style and seriously i think this was ahead of its time. I mean people are doing tech now but no one has the style that these two dudes do. There is this one clip of daewon doing a front blunt stall kickflip out to fakie that is so butter you call him up and ask to replace your tv for melting it. serious.
Shorty's Fulfill the Dream- This video was seriously the cool video to watch when it came out when i was in like 6th or 7th grade. I used to go to my friend Pads to watch this all the time or try and borrow it or anything to watch it. Muska's part ruled. Peter Smolik ruled. Remember Smolik? what ever happened to that dude? whatever, his part in this rules.
Real to Reel- I really enjoyed this video and all the songs skated too in it rule. A lot of people can shred but when you have the lamest song ever playing it sucks. The Sizzla song that Matt Field skates to makes you want to loose your mind and jump down a 10 stair. Cairo Foster's part got my so psyched to even just get on a skateboard and ollie onto a curb and he skates to the best Modest Mouse song. and Im pretty sure the Gonz is in this too. If not then someone correct me but he does an early grab down a double set and your mind is officially blown. He seriously could film himself skating down a flat street with no curbs and it would be cool.
these reviews are completely my view on the videos and what i remember of them, and how awesome i thought they were. There are definitely a lot of other videos that i didnt mention that i thoroughly love and enjoy and if i think of them ill write them up soon. These videos meant a lot to me and im sure a lot of other people feel the same. also i really need to see the new Lakai video cause i hear its amazing as wellllll as the nike sb debut video.
honorable mentions for videos i liked but werent major companies:
Division East - Daggers and The Final Countdown---people i know or knew or sorta knew shredding and it was awesome. throw one of those in and feel the nostalgia run over you.
411 videos-they have like 8 billion volumes but in there are a bunch of awesome ones.
Thrasher vids-- especially vidiot- these were the first skate videos i personally owned and really enjoyed. lots of up and coming skaters that eventually would get big just bombing hills and skating cities. really good.

SCIENCE
check out these two articles.
i cant copy it but just read it. heres a picture.
Fossilized hadrosaur is revealing lots of dino secrets
WASHINGTON - One of the most complete dinosaur mummies ever found is revealing secrets locked away for millions of years, bringing researchers as close as they will ever get to touching a live dino.The fossilized duckbilled hadrosaur is so well preserved that scientists have been able to calculate its muscle mass and learn that it was more muscular than thought, probably giving it the ability to outrun predators such as T. rex.
While they call it a mummy, the dinosaur is not really preserved like King Tut was.
The dinosaur body has been fossilized into stone. Unlike the collections of bones found in museums, this hadrosaur came complete with skin, ligaments, tendons and possibly some internal organs, according to researchers.
The study isn't complete, but scientists have concluded that hadrosaurs were bigger and stronger than had been known, were quick and flexible and had skin with scales that may have been striped.
"Oh, the skin is wonderful," paleontologist Phillip Manning of Manchester University in England rhapsodized, admitting to a "glazed look in my eye."
"It's unbelievable when you look at it for the first time," he said in a phone interview. "There is depth and structure to the skin. The level of detail expressed in the skin is just breathtaking."
Manning said there is a pattern of banding to the larger and smaller scales on the skin. Because it has been fossilized researchers do not know the skin color. Looking at it in monochrome shows a striped pattern.
He notes that in modern reptiles, such a pattern is often associated with color change.
The fossil was found in 1999 in North Dakota and now is nicknamed "Dakota." It is being analyzed in the world's largest CT scanner, operated by the Boeing Co. The machine usually is used for space shuttle engines and other large objects.
Researchers hope the technology will help them learn more about the fossilized insides of the creature.
"It's a definite case of watch this space," Manning said. "We are trying to be very conservative, very careful."
But they have learned enough so far to produce two books and a television program. The TV special, "Dino Autopsy," will air on the National Geographic channel next Sunday. National Geographic Society partly funded the research.
A children's book, "DinoMummy: The Life, Death, and Discovery of Dakota, a Dinosaur From Hell Creek," goes on sale tomorrow and an adult book, "Grave Secrets of Dinosaurs: Soft Tissues and Hard Science," will be available in January.
Soft parts of dead animals normally decompose rapidly after death. Because of chemical conditions where this animal died, fossilization - replacement of tissues by minerals - took place faster than the decomposition, leaving mineralized portions of the tissue.
That does not mean DNA, the building blocks of life, can be recovered, Manning said. Some has been recovered from frozen mammoths up to 1 million years old, he said. At the age of this dinosaur, 65 million to 67 million years old, "the chance of finding DNA is remote," he said.
A Manchester colleague, Roy Wogelius, who also worked on the dinosaur, said "one thing that we are very confident of is that we do have some organic molecular breakdown products present." That look at chemicals associated with the animal is still research in progress.
Matthew Carrano, a paleontologist at the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History, said he could not comment in detail about the find because he had not seen the research. But, he added, "Any time we can get a glimpse of the soft anatomy of a dinosaur, that's significant."
The findings from Dakota may cause museums to rethink their dinosaur displays.
Most dinosaur skeletons in museums, for example, show the vertebrae right next to one another. The researchers looking at Dakota found a gap of about a centimeter - about 0.4 inch - between each one.
That indicates there may have been a disk or other material between them, allowing more flexibility and meaning the animal was actually longer than what is shown in a museum. On large animals, adding the space could make them a yard longer or more, Manning said.
Because ligaments and tendons were preserved, as well as other parts of Dakota, researchers could to calculate its muscle mass, showing it was stronger and potentially faster than had been known.
They estimated the hadrosaur's top speed at about 28 miles per hour, 10 mph faster than the giant T. Rex is thought to have been able to run.
"It's very logical, though, that a hadrosaur could run faster than a T. rex. It's a major prey animal and it doesn't have big horns on its head like triceratops. Hadrosaurs didn't have much in the way of defense systems, so they probably relied on fleet of foot," Manning said.
Dakota was discovered by Tyler Lyson, then a teenager who liked hunting for fossils on his family ranch. Lyson, who is working on his doctorate degree in paleontology at Yale, founded the Marmarth Research Foundation, an organization dedicated to the excavation, preservation and study of dinosaurs. *

GHOSTFACE ON IRONMAN MOVIE
"I jumped in there for maybe 12 or 16 bars, nothing too major," Ghost downplayed before describing his scene with the film's star. "It was a good look for the kid because Robert Downey Jr. recognized me as soon as I seen him. He was like, 'Yo, Tony!' ... For him to recognize me, I was kinda surprised by that. I didn't know he even knew about the kid. ... We called each other Tony onscreen. I'm like, 'Tony Stark, I got your jet, I didn't mess it up.' He was like, 'I got the Bentley for you, I laced it up.' I had two girls with me, I was like, 'That's you [pointing toward the girls].' I sent two birds at him. It was a wrap for that scene. He's a cool dude and funny. Big up to Robert Downey Jr.

BLACKLISTED/MONGOLOIDS SHOW
got there earlier then i wanted to and found out there was like 4 local bands that were playing for some reason. all of them sounded like each other and played terribly, no one really watched them and it was terribly boring. once that was finally over the show really started
colin of arabia-this bands sound was off in the beginning and they had the mics up way to high and it sounded terrible, kids were into it, i just couldn't get into it.
the mongoloids-the
set wasnt as exciting as i thought it would be , but it was pretty insane. morgado from the wrongside sung the first two songs and they were intense. then the mongoz played their set, singer voice seemed to be sorta out from their show the night before, however it was a fun set. played lots of songs, new ones off the new record and some of the oldies, fools regret, still ill, hercules, some other ones i dont remember.
cold world-last time i saw them it was a great time, and kids are starting to jock them way less now. before their set i was thinking that they really werent that great, and they were kinda cheesy. then they played and fucking blew my mind, such a fun set. played tons of songs off ice grillz and some off the new record which i havent heard yet. completely killed it, solid mosh.
blacklisted-wow, fucking blew me away so hard. fuck. played i think almost all the songs off of
peace on earth, war on stage, a bunch from were unstoppable and a few tracks off of and the beat goes on. such a ridiculous set. they also played two new ones that have gotten me so excited for this new record. i seriously blacked out during cannonized and lost it so hard. probably the most significant band in hardcore, continously solid records, great live shows. fuck.i didnt take these pictures, photo credits on the bottom. here are also some videos.

NEW boris record coming out boris/merzbow collabooo bro
Japanese power trio Boris return with another limited offering. With only 5000 units pressed, ‘Rock Dream’ is a brilliant two disc set of a live collaboration between Boris and the legendary Japanese master of abrasion, Merzbow. Capturing a performance at “Earthdom” in Tokyo on November 18, 2006, this stellar soundboard recording proves that these artists are no stranger to collaboration and their symmetrical chemistry burns a brightly shining path. What makes this formation particularly interesting is that both Boris and Merzbow seem to leave behind the expected to fully embrace the unknown. The usually harsh, corrosive grate of Merzbow isn’t as apparent with Boris involved, while the inspired charge of the Boris rock machine seems to reach new heights with Merzbows’ intuitive textures added. As Merzbow doesn’t totally dominate this recording, he seems to fit flawlessly in with the group, beautifully adding noise, synth and effects, while dubbing it up. Playing is dense, but everything is well present in the mix and there is a bottom end to speak of. Standout tracks include the collaborations’ epic take on “Feedback”, “Black Out” and “Just Abandoned Myself”. For Boris collectors and completists, there is a previously unreleased track (”Evil Stack”, a brief noise piece evolving from the end of “Black Out”), as well as a PYG cover (”Flower Sun Rain”). Taken as a whole, ‘Rock Dream’ it is an exhausting listen, but one that is sure to leave listeners floored.
