Just Another Excuse To Check Out Germany: A Big Lebowski Themed Bar? Yes Please!!!!!

I am someone who loves to travel, and I often get inspired by stories that other people tell me about places they go. One of my favorite writers on the Internet, Vince Mancini from over at FilmDrunk, recently visited Germany and was taken to a Big Lebowski themed bar. That is just insane to me. I know there is a Big Lebowski store (Little Lebowski) in the Village here in NYC, but a whole bar themed after one of my favorite movies... a bar that I can order as many White Russians in as I want? A bar loaded up with cool set pieces, and artwork featuring the epic cast? I bet this is the kind of place that could get you a toe if you really needed one... lol. Just another reason to want to go check it out. Here is the link to the bar's official site, and you can see some of Vince's pics after the jump. Who want to check out the Deutschland?

Lego's Abound - A Three-peat !!!

I have been getting so many Lego based stories into my inbox from my gang that I don't know what to do... so I decided to throw together a little 3 peat post. 3 different stories, all amazing in their own right. First up, we got an an Alien themed build. But this one is surprisingly simple and only requires a few pieces (only 20), which is rarely a featured property in Lego build posts. The second story comes from a more familiar place. How about a Hobbit/Lord of the Rings themed mega build that requires a bit of time... oh, and 200,000 pieces! And the final one is a crazy mosaic of one of my favorite characters in movie history... it kinda ties the room together, ya know? Check all three out after the jump..

The Wonderful Geometric Art of Ale Giorgini

The trouble with all the artists flooding the Internet with their work is that they all seem to be taking on the same source material. How many Star Wars, Ghostbusters, or Goonies posters have you seen? No matter how cool or original they are, they tend to get a bit repedetive. But artist extraordinaire Ale Giorgini has developed an interesting geometrical style that makes his artistic work pop in a way that forgives the familiar subject matter. According to Giorgini's website he will be having a gallery show at Bottleneck Gallery in NYC. I for one will be checking it out... how about you? You can check out Giorgini's Society 6 page by clicking here and see some of my faves after the jump...

Commercially Acclaimed Vol #24 - Nike Fuel Band

TV commercials are a part of our everyday lives as TV viewers. Even though Tivo and DVR have allowed us to "skip through" the commercials, the advertising companies are still trying to peak our interests by coming up with creative commercials. To me, great commercials are an art form and are under appreciated by a society that is always trying to speed through things. Think about it... how many times did you see a great commercial that made you laugh hysterically or want to go out and purchase the advertised product??? And how many times has the best part of the Super Bowl been the commercials during a blow out game???  Whether you want to admit it or not, commercials are cool as shit... and here are some of my favorites.

'I'd Buy That...As a Tee!' ...Volume 3 by Jeff Bond

Spring has sprung and I could use a few new unique T-Shirts to really make a statement without saying a word. A Statement like "I'm a geek that doesn't take much of anything seriously...I'm approachable and easily abused."

Here's some of the T-shirts I have my eye on to do just the trick but, there's only one problem....they aren't for sale yet! Please click the links below to the  Threadless.com voting pages for each and give these beauties '5' ratings so I can throw 'em on my charge card one day.

'Bigfoot Spotted On....' Endor! Only that's NO 'Bigfoot' that's the one and only Chewbacca milling about amongst the shrubbery. I love that if you actually do cozy up a bit closer to 'Read What Locals Are Saying' as the t-shirts suggests, you'll find nothing but, the native language of the cute and cuddly Ewoks! Unless, of course, you read 'Ewok'...than please feel free to translate for me in the comment section below

'Insane For Brain' is a play on the Cypress Hill lyric, of course..but, this shirt would look kinda loco plastered around my chest cavity when I'm front and center for the next season of 'Walking Dead' on AMC!

Tara Reid Plays EVERYBODY In 'The Big Lebowski Pt. 2'

Stay classy Ms Reid....

A few months back, Tara Reid gave some drunk rambling on how she was looking forward to the start of filming on 'The Big Lebowski Pt. 2'. She couldn't wait to get cracking... trouble was, nobody else remotely new what the fuck she was talking about. Not the John Goodman, not Jeff Bridges, and definitely not the Coen Brothers. This lead to more redicule for the down and out Reid.... so what did she do? She teamed up with Funny or Die to make her version of 'The Big Lebowski Pt. 2'.

The Big Lebowski 2 with Tara Reid from Tara Reid

This is why anybody can become and stay famous now-a-days. She makes some retarded comment about a classic movie, everyone makes her look like the dumbass she is, and then they make a parody video starring her... WTF!!!! Pretty funny anyway... hope you enjoy.

The Tron Lebowski... Finally!

College Humor finally makes a video that mashes up Jeff Bridges' two most well known roles: The Dude from 'The Big Lebowski' & Kevin Flynn from 'Tron'!!!! I love them both, and have featured a cool mashup poster of the two that was made in the past. But this is what I have been waiting for. Thanks again College Humor & Rob over at Topless Robot for being such a 'Tron' geek!
