blasphemous rumours...

Do you think James Cameron shouted I'm king of the world! after he (literally) found Jesus?

For those of you Lazaruses living in a cave, this tomb at the right is what Cameron has been claiming to the media as the actual factual proof that Jesus not only existed, but possibly fathered a son. This coming from the guy who directed Piranha 2: The Spawning.

Of course, he followed up his claims by saying "No, I swear it's true! Be sure to tune into my new film all about this on Sunday on the Discover Channel at 8pm, 9 Central and Mountain! And don't forget to buy my new four disc special edition of Titanic at Best Buy for a limited time only."

Personally, I think the tomb looks like something out of Stargate

just a word of thanks...

I watched the Oscars last night with my good friend Ann, who in the past year worked on both the BEST PICTURE Oscar winner The Departed and WORST PICTURE Razzie winner RV.

Always look on the bright side of life.

The Second Anniversarycast Beware of the Babylon

Time to reminisce about the podcasts past as we celebrate our second anniversary from our Inaugural location, the Angelika Film Center. This week's episode features...

• even more talk about Spring Awakening

• very little about Britney Spears

• the two-year-anniversary mega mix

• romantic thoughts about gynecologists

• fashion compliments of Bono, additional complimentary pieces by Rachel

As always, this, and EVERY, BEWARE OF THE BABYLON podcast can be automatically downloaded to your computer and transferred to your iPod through iTunes.

OR, just listen right here and now with the audio player below...

bloody hell...

The only thing quite possibly more ridiculous than Marmite itself is the London Silver Company Sterling Silver Marmite lid.

I stumbled across this item in this month's issue of So British which is one of my favorite magazines because I am so not British.





Colman's Mustard Sterling Silver
lid also available.

can't get you out of my head...

A few weeks ago Rachel went and saw Broadway's talk of the town Spring Awakening and couldn't stop talking about it (just listen to our last podcast).

I saw it on Saturday, and now, I can't stop thinking about this show.

If you have the chance to see it, you must. For those not able to hop on a Jet Blue right now to New York, I give you this...

i saw the sign...

I saw a series of these posters on my walk home yesterday and although I know it's obviously some guerella marketing effort to promote the new film Zodiac, I'm tempted to call 311, or as Rachel does, go straight on to 911.

I find it a little disturbing that someone thought this was a good idea to poster up major cities with the very same markings left by notorious serial killer whose identity remains unknown.

At least the signs don't smell like gas, or worse yet, maple syrup. Then I would be really scared.

If you feel the need to now cleanse your soul...

cue the slo-mo action sequence...

Fuji was an ordinary dolphin until a mysterious disease robbed her of her tail.

Now, she's part of a top secret experiment combining the latest in artificial fin technology.

She is...

now playing on my wish list...

Can I just say that I want each and every one of these nasty little classics...

My appartment has seen an epic battle in the past two weeks between Thor and Heather and the newly broken in cat couch.

Now, originally the cat couch was for Heather, who isn't fond of drafty New York buildings in the winter. Somehow Thor has become king of the cat couch, regardless of the fact that he can't really fit in it. When Thor's not looking, Heather sneaks into the cat couch and yells shotgun! you snooze you loose (or meooow in Catanese).

The other day I found that they have come to an admirable solution to the issue...

WHY BAFTAS ARE BETTER THAN OSCARS

• Raffle prizes include trips to London. •
• New York party starts at 2pm (way before bedtime). •• Babel never had a snowball's chance in hell. •• Forest Whitaker acceptance speech slightly more intelligible. •

music and lyrics redux...

Just to bring you up to speed, Rachel was dumped yesterday on myspace, confirming the song she and I wrote the night before.

We worked late last night to get the song to its helicopter pick up on the south seaport of manhattan, and our record label has allowed us to share this sneak peak a the final cut of Velvet Hammer.

Just push the big pink play button below...

the rebukes of haggard...

With yesterday's announcement that the newly rehabed Ted Haggard is now 100% heterosexual, I would like to announce that there is a 50% chance that I am bisexual, possibly 25%, but that's too much math for me to figure out right now.

just when you thought it was safeto go back in the virgin megastore...

Craig is like a shark when it comes to new music, which is to say that he exhibits two types of typical shark like behavoir...

DARTING IN FOR THE KILL...
Like a shark smelling blood, Criag often reacts to hearing some new band in a record shop. The purchase is usually preceded by what is this playing? followed by this is good and ending with I'm getting this.
Two days later this is followed by you know, I don't really like that new album I got the other day.

CIRCLING HIS PREY...
Like a shark deciding if they should go in for the kill, Craig more often than the previous method will first dismiss bands that I have been pushing on him for weeks, only to ask months later if the band is any good.

This happened last week at Future Legend last week when Craig asked, "do I like TV on the Radio?"

haven't i seen you somewhere before...

I'm apparently the last person on Earth to realize that the "Mac" guy is actor Justin Long, best known for losing sight of what scared him in Jeeper's Creepers.

All I know is I'm watching the Die Hard 4 movie trailer the other day and I'm all like,
"wait a minute, that's the Mac guy with John McClane!"

Then when I mention this to people, they are all like
"uh duh, he was also in Dodgeball."

I feel like such a PC.

quick thought on the new shins lp...

I think I liked them the first time, when they were called Squeeze. Tempted but the truth is discovered.

back to the future...

let's all go back now to a time when this
was the coolest thing you ever saw...

doppelganger: a new beginning...

MAN BEHIND THE MASK KANE HODDER

MAN BEHIND THE CAMP BLOOD BLOG MIKEY

time for another doppelganger alert...

Controversial filmmaker Oliver Stone and Honorable Friend Al Moffitt

no such thingas bad publicity...

By now you have heard about the BIG FREAK OUT that flashing neon "Ignignokts" (pictured right) from Aqua Teen Hunger Force got the panties of all Bostonians and New Yorkers in a bunch.

How this harmless little guy prompted a bomb scare/terrorist threat is beyond me (especially since the "OBEY" giant stickers have graced the city for years and scared the shit out of countless citizens).

While you and I ponder much ado about nothing, check out the new trailer for Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theatres.
