It might be the best thing ever, muppets uploading video on YouTube: Beaker as meepmeepmeepow, Sam the Eagle as patrioticeagle, the Swedish Chef as deumnborkborkbork, the Great Gonzo as weirdowhatever and Statler and Waldorf respond to videos as heckle247.
2008 Madness Begins
The 2008 Midnight Madness films have been announced. If you’re in Toronto then, you’ll have a chance to see movies like Chocolate, Detroit Metal City, JCVD and The Burrowers (no trailer) on the big screen. I’ma be there.
Jeff Smith, Respectable
Bone artist Jeff Smith was interviewed on PBS’ Newshour and is on exhibit at Ohio State University’s Wexner Center for the Arts. What could be more respectable? Slide show and viewer questions for Jeff here. Art Center coolness here.

Tony Jaa’s been bit by the mixed martial arts bug and Twitch has the proof. Plus a fight on elephants. (via Kung Fu Fridays).

“Autism: Blessing or Curse?” the trailer for Prachya Pinkaew’s Chocolate asks. Instead of being a mathematical prodigy or cattle- whisperer, Jeeja Vismistananda stars as an autistic woman who’s learned “every fighting move recorded.”
