COCO AVANT CHANEL

While we're still on the subject of films, I cannot wait for this either!

Audrey Tautou is AMAZING!

MOON

SAM ROCKWELL!!!!!

THIS MOVIE LOOKS AMAZING!!!!!

Like 2001: A Space Odyssey but for 2009. I don't knowwwwwwww ... I just want to see it so bad! AND IT'S SAM ROCKWELL!!!

Astronaut Sam Bell has a quintessentially personal encounter toward the end of his three-year stint on the Moon, where he, working alongside his computer, GERTY, sends back to Earth parcels of a resource that has helped diminish our planet's power problems.



(Yes I have a slight obsession...)

Other tidbits in relation to the film: the robot is voiced by Kevin Spacey and the film is directed by Duncan Jones (which is was Zowie Bowie is going by nowadays... Yes he's the son of the great Mr David Bowie).

Released in US theatres June 12th, so I imagine an Australian release sometime around there ... i.e. SOOOOOOON!

CANELE PATTISSERIE

Under the tagline "Equally Sweet, Equally Dark", the ads done by illustrator Joseph Griffith feature small children in a very tongue and cheek evil minded scenario, done in typical pop surrealist manner. These ads were commissioned for Singapore based house Canelé Patisserie Chocolaterie.

They're just ADORABLE! I would love a print of the Voodoo one for my wall ... Make sure you check out Griffith's other work because it's fair amazing!

MAKE IT COUNT

"MAKE IT COUNT" - official trailer from ELEMENT SKATEBOARDS on Vimeo.

I found this video on Hypebeast.

I'm really keen to see the rest of it.

In the meantime, the filmmaker Kirk Dianda, has a blog going where he's updating with all sorts of goodies pertaining to the film – you can scope that out here.

THE WAITING LIST

OK ... So it's finally been announced! The date for the premiere of the two new Focalpoint DVDs. The Waiting List is the full length riding DVD of the crew doing their thing. I can tell you for a fact there is some serious shredding, a killer soundtrack and some awesome crashes! The second video is Defero which follows a more video magazine style – interviews and profiles of up-and-coming riders, some scene reports and a pretty hectic report from the infamous Bendigo Jam of '08!

If you're in Melbourne on this date you should really go down and check it out. That shit's going to be mental! And best of all, you're gonna get to see two really rad videos for just a gold coin donation (that they're asking for only to cover the cost of hiring the venue!)

Head over to Focalpoint for all the details.

Below is the final Samples edit and the official trailer for The Waiting List.

BARREL MONSTERS

Autoblog reports that a North Carolina State University student was arrested and charged with larceny for converting orange construction barrels into "Barrel Monsters". The artist, who goes by "U Live and You Burn" is seeking support by asking them to write the prosecutor on his behalf:

Wake County Prosecutor C. Colon Willoughby, Jr.
Tenth Prosecutorial District
State of North Carolina
8th Floor, Wake County Courthouse
Post Office Box 31
Raleigh, N.C. 27602-0031
telephone (919) 792-5000

Our hope is that they treat him fairly, as they did Roadsworth in Montreal.

Via The Wooster Collective.

SO PSYCHED...

For dates and details go to Resist Records.

RIDE BMX x SHADOW FEATURE

Sick little video ...

At about 2:30 there's a rad wall ride to tuck-no-hander and then one of the best hang 5's I've ever seen!



Plus the Black Keys soundtrack rules my life!

LACK OF POSTS

Hey guys!

Sorry for the lack of posts. Lack of fast internet has prevented me from scoping much and from being able to actually make posts at all.

So, uber big posting session coming your way right now!!!
