Be Kind Rewind
Filed under Entertainment, Humor, Video, World & Business.
Be Kind Rewind is a fantastic movie about a video store clerk and his bud who are forced to reenact popular movies with limited time and no money.
Even before the movie was released, the trailer already caused a big internet sensation because the concept is so original, the idea is genius. (speaking of internet sensation, look up the term ‘sweded‘ on the tube)
It excited me even more knowing that Michel Gondry was going to direct it. I really dig his unique way of displaying an imaginary situation on screen, like the over-the-top Science of Sleep and his music videos.
It’s in no way a perfectly directed film, but it really gives you a great feeling, makes me feel young again :-).
Be Kind Rewind is funny, original, clever and creative, just a terrific feel good movie.
Go see it, Josdigital tells you to.
Social Media Websites in Illustrated Form
Filed under Art, Entertainment, Humor, Technology, World & Business.
Social news/bookmarking sites these days are controlling what gets popular on the internet, with their users that is. Once a story gets popular on one community driven site, it’ll easily get picked up by its competitors and the blogosphere. Therefore these sites play an important role in discovering new trends beyond the internet and making people aware of things we wouldn’t normally read about.
I personally was a longtime fan, but now I’m distancing myself a bit of digg.com, cause the community has gotten too large after a lot of media attention and the youngsters keep ‘digging’ the lightweight stories. A perfect example is the Paris Hilton jailtime thing going on right now.
So now I’m in search for an alternative with more serious articles.
Anyway, check these very funny and oh-so-true sketches of some social bookmarking sites.

What’s Up, Fatlip?
Filed under Entertainment, Humor, Music, Video.
Fatlip is a member of the legendary Pharcyde hiphop group and in 2005 released his solo debut The Loneliest Punk with mediocre reviews.
Spike Jonze is mainly a music video and movie director, but a very busy guy: He directed many skateboard videos like Girl’s Yeah Right! and Hot Chocolate, was the star is Fatboy Slim’s Praise You video (check this), co-created the whole Jackass line and much more.
Together they created a pretty funny music video with a documentary/mockumentary about Fatlip’s life, personality and influences.
Here’s a Youtube playlist for the documentary (Just click the “Play all videos” button on the right). Definitely watch part 10 ‘Oh Shit Dating A Transvestite’ , I nearly fell over from laughing.

What can I post on this f* blog?
Filed under Entertainment, Humor, Thoughts, Video.
Since I haven’t had a lot of time lately and had nothing to post, decided to look in ye ole archive for a funny video and found some with the new Vista search tool. Didn’t wanna upload videos so I tracked them down on the series of tubes we call the internet.
I remember myself, in geeky terms, rofl over that first video.
They both fell pretty deep so I bet they broke something.
I don’t know if it’s the sadist in me, but I keep laughing at the most cruel videos.

Swiss newspaper fell for fake Gucci ad
Filed under Entertainment, Humor, World & Business.
This guy created a fake ad for Gucci using a photo of himself, and asked the Swiss weekly SonntagsZeitung to run it, which it did. He also told the paper to send the $50,000 bill to Gucci, which it did. Now the paper is trying to find the guy, which it can’t.
Thought this story was extremely funny, just look at this dude posing as a Gucci model.
