Sukijaki Western Django


Takashi Miike is releasing a film titled Sukijaki Western Django sometime later this fall in Japan. Watch the teaser trailer here from the good folks at Firstshowing.net. And if you are not familiar with Django, is a 1966 spaghetti western film in which the main character drags a coffin containing a gatling gun inside, gangsta as a mofo. Django has spawned numerous official and unofficial sequels and I for one cant wait to see the latest installment!

Eagle Vs Shark is from New Zealand looks pretty damn hilarious, view the trailer here. Firstshowing.net compares it to Napoleon Dynamite and calls it "very well made, very quirky, and a pretty good film", sounds good to me.

"Ghetto Minstrelsy"


Wynton Marsalis is 10 minutes into an angry denunciation of hip-hop and he's just hitting his stride. "I call it 'ghetto minstrelsy'," he says. "Old school minstrels used to say they were 'real darkies from the real plantation'. Hip-hop substitutes the plantation for the streets. Now you have to say that you're from the streets, you shot some brothers, you went to jail. Rappers have to display the correct pathology. Rap has become a safari for people who get their thrills from watching African-American people debase themselves, men dressing in gold, calling themselves stupid names like Ludacris or 50 Cent, spending money on expensive fluff, using language like 'bitch' and 'ho' and 'nigger'"....via idolator
