Don’t Sweater the Small Stuff
Cosby, Cosby, Cosby, Cos… of all the wonderful things he does.
If you’re looking to get me a present, look no further. You’ve got until June 12th.
And then head over here to download Oh Snap!!’s tribute to the man’s unique knitwear.
Where are C&A when you need them?

“A tomato doesn’t have logic!”
A fond farewell to Sydney Pollack, creator of this moment among many others. A great director and an underrated actor, particularly in Tootsie where he nearly steals the scene from Dusty, no mean feat.
See Sydney in full flow here, believable as Hoffman recalls, because as a director he believed him, rather than if it had [...]

DSLBI #11
In honour of the bank holiday, the May one where everyone’s skint, rather than call this strand Do Something Less Boring Instead #11, I’ve opted for a NKOTB style rebrand. Already, I’m regretting it.
Short cuts, alleyways, back passages, The Londonist has all you need to make your meanderings around London have that secret, Indiana Jones [...]

Dad’s Barmy
No, it’s not the title of an insensitive Channel 4 documentary about Alzheimer’s but rather a nod to a recent, possibly disturbing trend in theatres. Stage revivals of classic sitcoms seem to be all the rage at the moment, Steptoe & Son made a tonally confusing comeback on the boards a wee while ago and [...]

A new spin on Soul Tableaux this week as we get into a Vidi Video crossover courtesy of those smooth unsung heroes from Maze or to give them their full name, MazefeaturingFrankieBeverley. This video’s got it all, animated Converse, some excellent street style walking, and a shop shaped like a shoe. It reminds me of [...]

More animal crackers here.
This sounds made-up, but it isn’t. Werner Herzog remakes Abel Ferrara, and what the hell, throw in Nic Cage for good measure.
This is insane but combines two obsessions of a single-digit aged me, Taxi & Garfield.
This makes Avenue Q look like Sesame Street, although there is something phonetically [...]

Yacht’s Up!
I’m only a few months late on this, but a new Yacht Rock episode has been launched on the world. This one looks at the unexpectedly horrific story behind the song Footloose, but the real charmer is Michael McDonald and James Ingram hanging out making themselves some smooth, smooth music.
I will [...]

Jeepers. Consider the above images. Is it just me or in his new look for Indy 4, Ray Winstone’s gone from being one snooker-ball-in-sock-stuffing hardman to a dead ringer for Burt Reynold’s confidante and all round funny buddy Dom DeLuise?
And in turn, the spit of Louisiana chef supreme and alleged Turducken creator Paul Prudhomme, neither man [...]
