For Funsies: Trailer for BOYS, a Parody of GIRLS

Lena Dunham seems to inspire some crazy internet rage wherever she goes. It's started ever since her debut film, TINY FURNITURE made it to the Criterion collection. Her portrayal of the (reductively speaking) lazy, privileged 20 something struck a nerve with so many people that she's been keeping the comments sections on movie sites ablaze whenever any posts about her are posted. Now that she has a great new show on HBO, GIRLS, which deals with a quartet of ladies in New York trying to figure something out, the discussions have become more numerous.

I am a pretty big fan of GIRLS. It's got some of the strongest writing I've seen on a show not called COMMUNITY or GAME OF THRONES. Even if I hate the characters, I can appreciate that they're very well written and have lots of layers. That is why I'm happy to share this "trailer" for BOYS, the male counterpart of GIRLS. Thanks to The Wrap for posting this:



What I love about the video is that you have to have seen the entire first season to really get a lot of the jokes. For example, one of the guys is constantly naked to an uncomfortable degree, much like Dunham herself. And for fans of the show, it will be coming back for a 10 episode season in January 2013 according to friend of the blog, @ReelVixen who is at the TV Critic's Association and was covering the HBO panel live on Twitter. Hope you guys enjoyed the video, you guys!

Trailer for GEORGE HARRISON: LIVING IN THE MATERIAL WORLD Makes Me Happy

Javi here. I'm usually very wary of rock music and movies, and concert DVDs feel like a cheap cash-grab unless it's a one time event being documented. But, any apprehensions that I might have about them go out the door when The Beatles come into the picture.  They're my favorite band ever, and I say this without hyperbole. I can listen to their entire discography from start to finish twice if I wanted to. The quality of the songwriting coupled with the influence that they have had blows my mind every time.

George Harrison was my favorite one as his songwriting style, and his lifestyle has always been something I've admired to no end. Being the goody-two-shoe that I was, I never skipped school until the day that he died where I went home played Beatles CDs and jamming to his songs. With this I present you the trailer for the new Martin Scorcese documentary on the "quiet" Beatle and his life after the band.  Thanks to Badass Digest for the heads up.
