SWEET!

Okay the short film entitled Sweet starring the two guys from the great BBC3 comedy series The Mighty Boosh (although I have to admit, I liked season 1 more than season two, but season 2 was still funny), Noel Fielding (Vince Noir, the King of the Mods, on the Boosh and Pete Sweet in Sweet) and Julian Barratt (Howard Moon on the Boosh and Stitch in Sweet) is definitely a must watch, it's on The Mighty Boosh season 2 DVD, which we watched last night, and man it was hilarious. You can check it out on YouTube here or at the BBC site linked earlier on.

Who knew that dating an imaginary bird would be so much trouble, and so funny?

So as I'm sure you're aware if you're a driver the price of gasoline is a hotly debated topic lately, well it has been for a while, but at least now with this website you can compare your local gasoline price to a snapshot of gas prices around the world here. If you're looking for more up to date localised gas prices check out the Ontario Gas Prices website, or whichever province/area you're in. I'll let you figure that one out on your own. Sioux Lookout still has the highest listed gasoline price in the Province. Go Us!

Road trip to Venezuela anyone? I wonder how large a tank you'd to pull to fill with $0.12 per gallon (roughly $0.03 per litre) gasoline to make the trip pay? That is of course if you don't mind Hugo Chávez and his politics.

I've got no good segue to go from gasoline prices to this one, but I'm sure there's some reference I can make to pumping or taking it up the chute, but no matter, here it is, Star Wars: The Boogie Nights edition. I thought it was amusing, and was amazed how well the dialog selected from the Boogie Nights (a fine film in its own rights, although I don't believe the writer/director Paul Thomas Anderson as I think the movie is at least loosely based on the life of John C. Holmes) trailer (at least I'm pretty sure it's the trailer) fit the video selected from the Star Wars films.

If you're interested in more on John Holmes check out the movie Wonderland (focusing more on Holmes' role in the infamous Wonderland Murders) or the documentary on his life Wadd: The Life & Times of John C. Holmes.

And in some great news on the geek front, according to this article Neil Gaiman is working on getting Death: The High Cost of Living up on the big screen. I tried checking IMDB for some information on the movie, but this screen came up telling me that I could only get at the information on that page by getting an IMDB Pro Account. Bollocks to that.

Hmmmm so we've covered some British Comedy, international gasoline prices, a rather infamous porn star and a movie I've been waiting a long time for? What's left to talk about? Yeah I'm stuck, so I'll leave you with this sweet t-shirt. Man if I worked at a video store I'd totally wear it. Maybe not everyday . . . but damn close to it.

Until next time
