Ever since we posted this little fellow we’ve been getting flooded with wolf suit sighting emails. Like the ripper above originally found here and passed along by Kilwag. Well done sir, well done. As for the rest of you…the gauntlet has now been thrown down.

Sometimes VBS truly kills it. This three part jammer about the guy who created the “Cosby Sweater” is like watching Errol Morris without the cutaway footage of 1950’s Sears housewives ironing slacks. Bananas and Coconuts.

Lance Bangs found a Super 8 cartridge from a camera he used back in 2002 when were were working on Adaptation and Jackass. We were shooting a sequence from Adaptation where I played one of the orchid hunters who got killed and I had a big beard from editing so long so I thought I’d do it myself. As it turns out I almost drowned. They put so many weights on me in this eighteen foot deep pool that I panicked and sank to the bottom and kept trying to swim to the top but I couldn’t. I was supposed to be a dead body just floating beneath the water but I’m not that good of a swimmer I guess.

What is the linchpin of a novel’s success? Depends. A sense of truth is crucial to some novels; a sense of artifice to others. In the case of experimental novels, it boils down to how well the experiment comes off.

Patrick deWitt’s debut, Ablutions, isn’t even written as a novel, but rather as “notes for a novel”. The narrator is a thirty-two-year-old barback at a seamy Hollywood joint, where he downs Jameson and observes the grimmest pack of characters this side of Day of the Locust.

Arranged as it is in fiery shots of prose, the book lends itself well to a variety of reading styles, being equally suited to those who nurse their novels as well as to those who shotgun them. DeWitt is also kin to We Love You So tight buddies Nick deWitt and Cali deWitt. Nice trio.

Randomly came across this adorable lovingly hand-made Max costume on Flickr. Crafty creator Kitjule1010 says: “Max costume (Where the Wild Things Are) I made for my son b/c no costume company makes one. :)”

If there’s one thing I know about the internet, it’s how quickly it can make you feel like you’ve lost touch. Art, film, design, music… all of it page after page, eating itself. One click and you’re down the rabbit hole and suddenly any song you’ve ever listened to in your entire life is obsolete and just now in this instant has been replaced by ten million new and more powerful songs and you will never have a chance to hear to them all.

I’m not sure if it’s a good thing or a bad thing, all this content, but on certain long weekdays it can be awfully fun to sift through… or if you’re extra lucky someone like nevver will come along and do it for you. One song. One film still. One day at a time.

Rick Howard and Matt Milligan passed these along to us. From a skate shop up North.
