New ‘Hunger Games’ Movie Trailer: Hot Teenage Deathmatch!

Miss Info — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 19:38:08 +0000

(The Hunger Games: Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, and Lenny Kravitz looking like they got dressed in a goth sex shop.)

Huzzah! If you only care about the latest “Stay Scheming” freestyle, just keep scrolling to the next post…because this one is personal!
You already know I’m a huge nerdy retainer-wearing buffpuff-exfoliating comp-notebook-doodling security-blanket-carrying superfan of The Hunger Games book series. Basically, it’s about a future world where the country’s evil dictatorship forces kids from poor areas into a yearly deathmatch to earn food. If you ever saw the very twisted Japanese movie Battle Royale, it’s somewhat similar…but with more sci-fi and, aww, triangle teen romance!

I’ve been closely tracking the progress of the first movie in the trilogy for months. But with some skepticism. (Why is the “girl on fire” dress so lame? Why does those horrible fighting uniforms look like outlet UnderArmour? Why does the set look like a bad WB pilot? Why the hell is Lenny Kravitz in this? And most of all, for the love of Team Jacob, don’t you guys see how much money Twilight made? Put a little effort into this thing!)

But with the movie release on March 23rd, there’s a new trailer I can sink my teeth into! (and pick apart like a dingo on a rotting carcass)

Watch Jennifer Lawrence (Winter’s Bone), Josh Hutcherson (The Kids Are Alright), Liam Hemsworth (um, Thor’s little brother and Miley Cyrus’ boyfriend)….

EgoTripLand x MissInfo Present: 10 Other Ways Jay-Z Could Celebrate Daughter Blue Ivy’s B-Day

Miss Info — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 20:20:23 +0000

(You may be wondering why the Brooklyn Bridge is covered in denim… the answer lies at egotripland.com)

Jay-Z already heralded the birth of his “smarter faster me” Blue Ivy Carter with the song “Glory”….but as the celebratory news of Hov and Beyonce’s new baby daughter broke over the past two days, so too has the ridiculous speculation of events surrounding it. Not the least of which was the rumor (perpetuated by lines from a new song, “Glory”) that Jay-Z had arranged for the Empire State Building to be lit blue in honor of Blue Ivy Carter’s birth. Turns out the NYC landmark’s hue was actually due to the NY Giants’ playoff game on Sunday. Oh well, we can pretend. In fact, there’s gotta be all kinds of ways we could imagine Jay-Z pulling some strings to publicly celebrate this monumental event with the rest of the world. Here – with the help of our friends at EgotripLand – are a few. Yeah, we can just see it now… Together we came up with 10 other ways Jay-Z could celebrate daughter Blue Ivy’s B-Day.

1. Rent fleet of prop planes to crop dust Tri-state with atomized Blue Nile. Muslim oil merchants rejoice

2. Remove term “poison ivy” from all medical journals and English dictionaries in Western Hemisphere.

3. Round the clock “Blue Drank” specials at the newly renamed IV-ty/IV-ty club.

4. Buy the color blue and charge exorbitant licensing fees. You know… set up her college fund.

5. Ticker tape parade down Fulton Mall

Kenny Powers Returns! ‘Eastbound and Down’ Season 3 Trailer

Miss Info — Sat, 07 Jan 2012 01:44:28 +0000

Hallelujah! We’ve had a bounty of quality rap today, and now this…the molten chocolate cake to send you off on your weekend of debauchery….
A new teaser for Season 3 of HBO’s comedy series, Eastbound and Down, starring the always inappropriate but white hot Kenny Powers! Last season was a bit of a mess, what with the Mexico plotline and that annoying short guy…but I have faith in KP! (Remember the Eastbound and Down bloopers? One of the greatest blooper reels of all time!)
Eastbound and Down, Season 3 kicks off on February 19, 2012.

(Ever noticed that socially-inept, awkward, blatantly rude white men are the king of situational comedy? Larry David, Louis CK, Kenny Powers…everyone on Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Painfully funny.)

Speaking of HBO…are you guys watching their latest comedy, Angry Boys?
Watch a clip, after the jump…

Angry Boys‘ creator and star Chris Lilley is a huge hit in Australia…and his previous show Summer Heights High was pretty funny…this time around, Lilley plays another set of characters, namely an African-American rapper (Yes, in blackface. With n-words.), a Japanese mom, a surfer, a granny, and a set of Australian twins. Quite ambitious, lol.

Meet Viral Sensation, “N—as In Paris” Subway Rapper, Terrane Hicks! (Exclusive)

Miss Info — Fri, 23 Dec 2011 23:09:23 +0000

Happy Holidays, everyone! Hee Hee! I complain about the internets and how it’s taken over our lives, but sometimes all that immediacy and proximity makes for HILARITY.
Like the viral video of that crazy wacky guy rapping at the top of his lungs to Kanye West and Jay-Z’s “N—as in Paris” on a crowded New York City subway car….
Not only did we all get to see it thanks to youtube, but Kanye even cosigned the clip by tweeting it!

But who was that mystery fan, in his purple jacket and matching purple bag, going H.A.M. on the train?

We found him! Meet our new pal Terrane Hicks!

MissInfo: So what about “N—as in Paris” got you so…so…excited on the subway?
Terrane: EVERYTHING!!!!!

MissInfo: Um, no offense, but were you drunk or high?
Terrane: No, actually I was totally sober. I am like this all the time. I’m just a hype person.

My full chat with Terrane, Mr. “N—as on the Subway”…
After the jump…

MissInfo: Ah ha! The man of the hour….what’s it like to be a viral sensation?
Terrane: Well, everyone I know keeps calling me and hysterically laughing. I love it. Love the excitement and I’m actually going to try to take this somewhere!

MissInfo: Tell us about who you are…
Terrane: I was born and raised in Harlem, recently moved to Brooklyn. I’m a martial artist and I own a personal training company called Skye Fitness (skyefitness.com).

MissInfo: So…walk me through your epic rap debut, lol.
Terrane: I was on the #4 train going to Wall Street, I think.

MissInfo: But what about listening to “N—as in Paris” was making you so…so…excited on the subway?
Terrane: EVERYTHING!!!!!

MissInfo: Um, no offense, but were you drunk or high?
Terrane: No, actually I was totally sober. I am like this all the time. I’m just a hype person.

MissInfo: Do you normally rap out-loud like that? Were you at all worried that you might be disturbing the other passengers on the subway?
Terrane: No, I don’t normally rap out loud but that’s one of those songs that gets you hype! I really didn’t care what the other riders thought. That’s that song!!! And yes, I was definitely trying to entertain my fellow commuters.

MissInfo: You mentioned that you want to make the most of this spotlight….what do you hope will happen?
Terrane: I will definitely use this fame to promote my company Skye Fitness and my Skye brand. Also I’m going to kick my acting career off.

MissInfo: Well, you’ve already got that lack of inhibitions thing down. And a cosign from Kanye!
Terrane: I want to tell Kanye that he’s my idol and that it’s his fault that I went “CRAY” on the train. Thanks Kanye!!

And thank you, Terrane ; )
If anything, You could totally play the lead role in the bio-pic of comedian JB Smoove (aka Leon from Curb Your Enthusiasm), if that project were to ever happen.

Watch the Official ‘Prometheus’ Trailer: If You Thought ‘Aliens’ Was Scary…

Miss Info — Thu, 22 Dec 2011 18:19:25 +0000

(Idris Elba and Charlize Theron: Is this Idris’ biggest movie project yet? Or was Thor bigger? )

We already saw a background video about Ridley Scott’s much anticipated Prometheus sci-fi horror flick, but here’s the official first trailer…and while you don’t really get much plot, you get the strong feeling that you will be scared, you will feel doomed, and you will love this. But is all the hype about this being the backstory of Scott’s Alien movies true? Still unclear. I’m hyped to learn that this script was co-written by one of the LOST writers, Damon Lindelof. Until I remember how bitter I still am about the LOST finale…

Watch the Prometheus trailer…
After the jump

By the way….I saw Girl With a Dragon Tattoo last night…very entertaining and strong performances by Rooney Mara and Daniel Craig…but as much as I fan out for director David Fincher, I didn’t really get the sense that this added much more than gloss to the original Swedish version. It’s basically like a more polished remix of the movie for people who don’t like to read subtitles. That said, Rooney is amazing in making herself both prickly and unfriendly, but insanely sexy at the same time. More sexy than Noomi Rapace was, but in some ways….less true to Lisbeth Salander’s written character. Noomi is still the Lisbeth archetype. Rooney is the bi-chick aphrodite. Kudos to Fincher for keeping the ugly, ugly.

‘Dark Night Rises’, ‘Prometheus’, ‘The Dictator’ and More Movie Trailer Teases

Miss Info — Mon, 19 Dec 2011 23:58:12 +0000

I wish I had a wall-sized computer screen on which to watch the glorious action of this Dark Knight Rises movie trailer…It’s gorgeous and grim, and loaded with all the classic cues of a Christopher Nolan flick. Collapsing skylines, swallowing crevices, candlelit Marion Cotillard, and lots and lots of staircases. But even if much of the cast in Batman Wears Prada While Bronson Blows Up His Dream State seems familiar, I can’t wait to see how the movie incorporates the ideas of Occupy Wall Street into the storyline of absolute power corruption….Oh hay, 1%.

“There’s a storm coming Mr. Wayne. You and your friends better batten down the hatches. Because when it hits you’re all gonna wonder how you ever thought you could live so large and leave so little for the rest of us…” -Catwoman

Oh, who am I kidding, all I care about is BANE.

Now along with the Dark Knight Rises trailer, there were other solid teases to keep film fans salivating for 2012…

1) Prometheus trailer…of a trailer: What do we learn about Ridley Scott’s Alien prequel?
2) Wrath of the Titans trailer: More Perseus, more sandals, and super gnarly looking Titans!
3) The Dictator: Sasha Baron Cohen’s new spoof looks amazing….ly offensive!

Watch all three after the jump…

1) Ridley Scott, director of that masterpiece Alien, says his Prometheus movie isn’t exactly an Alien prequel. But all the nerds refuse to believe him. The OG girl with the dragon tatt aka Noomi Rapace will be there, so will Stringer Bell aka Idris Elba, and Michael Fassbender, who is quickly monopolizing every serious leading man role in Hollywood. Sucks for you, Timberlake ; ) Prometheus is out June 2012.

2) I actually liked Clash of the Titans, the 300-edition. It was cheesy, but fun, looked great, and I could watch it while shopping online without really missing much. Avatar’s Sam Worthington is back, with a curlier hairdo. But is it odd that he sucks in any movie where he wears normal pants? Anyways, I like this siamese twin Titan monster, and I always love Liam Neeson and Voldermort. Wrath of the Titans is out March 2012.

3) Borat was incredibly uncomfortable and hilarious. Bruno was just uncomfortable. But Sasha Baron Cohen’s new movie The Dictator looks fantastic! And not just because I’m a sucker for brutal Kardashian jabs. It’s timely stuff, and knowing Cohen’s past Ali G work…I’m expecting a lot of “it’s funny because it’s true.” The Dictator comes out Summer 2012, and has a twitter: RepublicWadiya.

New Video: Quadron “Ex-Factor”

FWMJ — Mon, 19 Dec 2011 21:20:53 +0000

Awesome Plug Research duo Quadron released a gorgeous soul album earlier this year. They’ve done a string of shows opening for Raphael Saadiq, and releasing some great Remix EP/Maxi-Single (remember those?) projects as well. Here, Coco covers Lauryn Hill’s “Ex-Factor” with awesome results.

Damn, I miss Lauryn Hill.

‘30 Rock’ Sneak Peek: Liz Lemon’s New Boyfriend!

Miss Info — Fri, 16 Dec 2011 17:03:34 +0000

This is absolutely the best Friday gift for me…..This sneak peek at 30 Rock’s new season is amazing!
How could it not be?
Liz Lemon has a new boy toy! James Marsden (from XMen)….more Kim Jong Il plotline….the addition of Kristen Schall (who also voices the best gangster baby girl on TV…I’m talkin’ bout Bob’s Burgers‘ LOUISE)….and more Devon Banks (Will Arnett).

So good.

If you never saw this clip from Bob’s Burgers….do it.

The Drake Forehead Tattoo: The Ugly Truth Behind the Best/Worst Drake Story of 2011

Miss Info — Wed, 14 Dec 2011 00:20:59 +0000

This woman took that Drake and Rick Ross “Free Spirit” song….way way too seriously.

Holy crap. I’m speechless. I guess I had somehow convinced myself that last week’s viral photo of a young women with her eyebrows shaved off and a huge tattoo on her forehead that read “DRAKE” was just a horrible figment of my imagination. Or some cruel photoshop joke played by rival highschool cholas on facebook.

But NO! It’s so real. And thank you, Vice. And thank you Vice writer Kara-Lis Coverdale for christiane-amanpouring this so that we could know what really happened at LA’s Will Rise tattoo shop….when this chick walked in with a mission.

Kevin Campbell tells Vice:

“She was really psyched about it. She had the shitty font all picked out on her iPhone ready to go and was pretty adamant about putting it on her forehead…When I printed up the first image of the lettering, she wanted me to go bigger…“

“My whole deal with people wanting completely outrageous and potentially life-ruining tattoos is this: I’ll ask them three times if they really think it’s a good idea, I tell them what the potential consequences of getting a tattoo on their face might be, and after that, the bad decision is on them. I believe that people get the tattoos that they deserve…
I guess I feel bad that this dumbass got the name of the softest motherfucker in hip-hop tattooed on her forehead. But what makes that any less valid of a tattoo to her?… I lost a little sleep over it that first night, wondering if I wanted to be known as the asshole who tattooed “DRAKE” on some crackhead’s forehead.“

(You can’t see me but I’m hyperventilating at this whole interview.)
More photos of this woman’s epic fail of all fails…
And more of Vice x Kevin Campbell’s awful/awesome commentary…
After the jump

Kevin the Tattoo Artist was hilariously opinionated about this woman’s choice of rapper to tattoo:

“The funny thing is, I didn’t know who Drake was. I figured it was her hood or some shit, not some goofnugget R&B dude.“

And also aesthetically horrified:

“When it’s something as simple as lettering, I could have tried to steer her into a prettier font maybe, or a different location (obviously), but she was already set on this letterman jacket-style font.“

But it sounds like even this crazy kooky Drake-fan is having some tattoo-remorse:

“Sadly, she didn’t leave a number on her consent form, just her name. But she is supposed to be coming back to finish the tattoo once it heals (she only had enough money for the outline) and I could probably talk to her then. She was on a pretty good one when she came in, but I think by the time I finished she was coming down, because her attitude changed pretty drastically once the tattoo was finished.“

Meanwhile, someone get this guy Kevin on twitter…he’s awesome:

“I don’t particularly want this one tattoo to represent my whole body of work… I’ve actually done some way crazier facial tattoos recently, but was really careful not to blast the shit all over the internet. There are so many kids walking up and down Fairfax with ridiculous facial tattoos that I didn’t think too much about it before I did it. Plus, the whole shaved eyebrow thing usually means you just got put on to your neighborhood or whatever, so I figured she was just some crazy shermed-out cholla who was “down for her calle” or whatever.

In my opinion this whole world’s going to shit, and shit rolls downhill, so I might as well just jump in, hold my breath, and pray to God that there’s a nice big soft puddle of diarrhea for me to land in once everything hits the fan.“

I love him.

UPDATE: Wow, not only is Kevin on twitter (via Kara-Lis), but #TheGirlWithTheDrakeTattoo came back for more (see photo gallery)! Wow again. And that hashtag?! Genius.

Don’t Fight It: Gucci Mane x V-Nasty feat. Mistah Fab “Loaded” (New Music)

Miss Info — Thu, 01 Dec 2011 21:47:47 +0000

You know when something or someone is bad for you…High-fructose corn syrup. Bleached flour. RUSH pre-paid credit cards. Mixed beverages sold out of car trunks at Summer Jam. Women with neck tattoos and Worldstar dance moves. Guys in shiny moncler jackets who pull up next to you at the light and slowly lower their limo tint…

But how often do we ignore our better judgement and indulge? Hey, the heart wants what the heart wants…..

So perhaps the combination of Gucci Mane and V-Nasty (Kreayshawn’s less mainstreamed doppelganger and famous word-equality warrior) should raise a red flag….but instead, this song “Loaded” is today’s musical 5-Hour-Energy shot. Now, in a few years we’ll figure out that those 5-Hour things cause bone rot. And maybe the same goes for the upcoming Gucci x V-Nasty BAYTL mixtape*. But we live in the now. F&%k school.

New Music: Gucci Mane x V-Nasty feat. Mistah Fab “Loaded” (Prod. by Zaytoven)

This song is better than the other mixtape cuts that have leaked so far. You think?

*but what the hell does that title mean? Beatle? Battle? Bay-tell? Bad acronym?!* (Update: oh. eh.)

Watch Gucci and Mlle. Nasty in the studio…
