Footprints In Fort Greene…

Saturday, March 6th, 2010

The red area in the image above describes the footprint of the Atlantic Yards development site. It stretches from Atlantic and 4th Avenues all the way east to Vanderbilt Avenue. As wide as Atlantic Av to Dean Street in most parts for a total of 22.5 acres overall. Simply put, the site is GINORMOUS.

The Internets Celebrities have visited several completed sports complex sites in Yankees Stadium and CitiField but the Atlantic Yards site makes those others pale in comparison considering the amount of humanity that is being displaced just to get the project underway.

We brought some good focus and determination to our shooting in and around the AY perimeter last weekend. The pic above is the IC Illuminati hand grip. It can only be done in a threesome [ll]. Actually, you need to really orgy it out otherwise no one could take the pic. Shouts to Ian Savage on the lenses.

Cas posted a drop over at IC.com about the shoot.

‘Stadium Status’ is proceeding lovely if too slowly for some of the internets liking, but I feel like we are the truth on slow boil. The simmering truth if you will.

Consider that in San Francisco, one of the places where the IC’s have won a film festival, a McDonald’s franchise has poached the idea of the Futuristic Brunch. We don’t sweat the swaggerjacking tho’ because as your fave futurists we was already on to the next.

Ghetto Big Mac III will begin filming as soon as we wrap up ‘Stadium Status’. I think it will be the best film you ever watched about McDonald’s. I’m hoping we can get Grimace to make a small cameo [ll]. McD’s is reportedly laying off all their ‘gender neutral’ characters. The Fry Guys are getting the ax as well. Turns out one of the guys was actually a girl with a strap on. I’m gonna give a long, hard look at the longest fry in the pack now.

We have a another small project in the planning stages as well. We may even do a short on why you shouldn’t try to cut your own hair? BTW, ICs FTW.

CHEA!

SEPARATED @ BIRTH: Frankensteinery…

Editor’s note: This drop was inspired by the Tony Grand$ x getthesenets comments in the Magic Bird brokeback basketball thread. [ll] as always.

Kevin McHale is often referred to as the Frankenstein monster.

His game was as ugly as his mug too.

But for my recollection, the Chief was a better choice.

Fux it all.

These dudes are the Frankenstein Bros.

Why hasn’t this been made into a television series?

Magic & Bird: Love & Basketba[ll]…

Shouts to my dude A.King from PNC Radio who put me on to this documentary screening at my local watering hole. SODA Bar on Vanderbilt Avenue was hosting the screening. HBO pictures produced this tight little doc about the relationship that two of basketball’s supreme competitors now share together. Magic & Bird is all about the obstacles that these two men had between them when they were pretty much mirror images in their love for the game of basketball and how hard they were willing to work to become winners.

What made the film so compelling is that you got to see a side of Larry Bird that made me wonder why I h8’d dude so much (other than the fact that he was a Celtic). Larry Bird grew up wild poor. Hardbody poor. Magic’s family wasn’t wealthy by any stretch of the imagination, but Magic’s dad didn’t end up merc’king himself like Bird’s dad did. Larry Bird was obsessed with Magic [ll]. With his stats and his achievements. Bird used Magic to propel himself faster and harder [ll]. Magic only wanted a hug from Bird. This shit was more than a bromance, these two wanted to mouf kiss each other.

At one point in the film while Magic was being interviewed he broke down into tears recalling the moment that Larry Bird called him up to ask how he was doing after Magic had publicly disclosed that he was HIV+. For Larry Bird, he secretly viewed Magic as one of his siblings that he constantly fought with but cherished dearly. This fuxing documentary almost made me get a piece of dust in my eye like that gotdamn Antwon Fisher bullshit. I pounded on my chest tho’ and the dust went away. Still and all, this was an incredibly revealing film for these larger than life NBA characters.

The Association needed Magic and Bird and the level of competition that they brought to the league. Magic and Bird needed one another for the challenge of competing and then later on the camaraderie. If you are a fan of the Association then you need this documentary to show you how these two players combined to save professional basketball. Bryant Gumbel’s commentary in this film was heeelarious. The filmmaker’s research and the archival footage used was vainglorious. From the Sopranos, to The Wire, up to Curb Your Enthusiasm, Home Box Office stays winning. Make sure you DVR this movie so you can watch it on repeat.

Robots Killed The Dinosaurs…

Friday, March 5th, 2010

dino eff robot

A group of international scientists are blaming the mass extinction of the dinosaurs on an asteroid that collided with Earth 65 million years ago.

I think this is all a diversion to hide the real cause of the demise of the dinosaurs. It was their illicit sexual relations with robots.

BattleStar Got Another One…

caprica

I finally tuned in to the new BSG series ‘Caprica’ and it didn’t disappoint. BattleStar Galactica was the best program on television for its entire run and the only thing that disappointed me was how that shit ended. Caprica is starting off as good as BSG. I’m gonna let a few more episodes fill up Chocolate Snowflake’s DVR and we are gonna have a party at the crib and order Italian food and drink wine while we watch episodes back to back to back marathon style.

None of y’all are invited tho’ because we will be naked.
