$1-Million: James Bond's Submarine Car For Sale On eBay

james-bond-submarine-car-1.jpg This is one of six (and one of only three remaining) modified Lotus Esprit submarine cars used in the filming of the 1977 James Bond Film 'The Spy Who Loved Me'. It's being sold on eBay for $1,000,000. Unfortunately, it's not Wet Nellie, the one they used that was an ACTUAL functioning submarine car (which was bought by Elon Musk in 2013 who plans to refurbish it using Tesla's electric drive-train). This one isn't even drivable, and was only used for the retractable wheels scene. So basically you're paying $1,000,000 for a giant white brick. I'm pretty sure I could have somebody build me a real functional submarine car for that. Hopefully out of a taco truck. God willing, the mermaids will hail me as the hero who brought burritos to Atlantis. Keep going for several more shots.

Short film: Giant rock creature teaches a funny life lesson

Short film: Giant rock creature teaches a funny life lesson

I think this silly animation about a giant rock creature trying to rescue a town is a hilariously dark lesson that shows how some things just aren't worth saving. Or that maybe all our work is useless. Or perhaps that bad intentions can cause good actions. Or whatever, maybe it's just a really fun CG animation.

Nice, hoping this will result in another "R&G"

Now that Snoop is done beefing with Iggy Azalea, the focus can be put back on the music. ICYMI, Uncle Snoop’s  next project will be released under Pharrell’s imprint, I Am Other and Columbia Records. According to a recent Instagram post via I Am Other’s page, the upcoming album is set to feature Charlie Wilson and Stevie Wonder.

For this album, Snoop is hanging up his reggae alter-ego that was channeled on his 2013 effort Reincarnated, which debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Reggae Album chart.

ScHoolboy Q’s Mom: ‘I Never Smoked Weed With That Boy’

by Tanay Hudson (@NYStateofMind2)

During the “Words From Your Mother” segment on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, ScHoolboy Q’s mom came through to recite the lyrics from Q’s hit “Collard Greens.” On one line in the song, Puffy makes an insinuation that he and his mother take part in puff-puff-pass sessions together, which she decided to clarify. After calmy reading “Psych ward is balling/ Go craze like no other/Weed steady blowing/Pass the blunt to my momma” she goes “I never smoked weed with that boy.” Watch her read lyrics about guns and loving marijuana below.

Doc Zeus: Why Does Nobody Seem To Care About 50 Cent Anymore?

by DocZeus
Andrew.e.coyle

Nothing crazy or new, but a pretty good explanation of why 50 cent kinda sucks as a rapper. I compare him to McNabb in that, after so many years go by, you begin to question whether he was ever any good or just a product of Dre's (Reid's) brilliant production. He is the system quarterback of the Rap world. Still, plenty of solid early hits. I do find it funny that being a gangster rapper kind of gets you clowned on these days.

20140323060735!50-cent-animal-ambition

Doc Zeus ain’t supposed to do this shit, but he forgets

There is something ironically apropos that the best professional promotion that 50 Cent’s career has enjoyed in years is a gravely errant first pitch delivered at a Mets game. 50’s mockable, misfiring fast ball might have missed the catcher’s mitt but 50 found himself the topic of national discussion again, winding up as a clip on CNN and other news outlets, giving the Queens rapper the most mainstream attention he’s enjoyed in a nearly a decade. As an artist whose dogged devotion to the commercially struggling genre of gangster rap, a wild pitch that ended 50 feet away from home plate feels like an oddly appropriate metaphor for his career right now. 50’s influence on hip-hop has long since been eclipsed; six years of futily courting commercial success with a series of uninspiring singles, mixtapes and guest verses for his long-delayed fifth album, Animal Ambition, makes it highly unlikely that he will ever be a rap star, again. Why does relevancy seem to escape 50 Cent, though? Why does nobody seem to care about 50 Cent anymore?

Few stars have grown as bright as Curtis Jackson, nor have fizzled out as quickly. There have been rappers that have sold tens of millions of records like 50 Cent didm but few that carried the same level of cultural import that Jackson once had. Rappers such as Nelly, MC Hammer and Vanilla Ice were all artists that enjoyed debut records that could rival 50 Cent’s sheer commercial popularity but none of them could be accused of capturing the same cultural zeitgeist as 50 did.

Click here to view the embedded video.

The mega-million-selling success of his seminal debut album, Get Rich Or Die Tryin’, was quietly transformative for the major label hip-hop scene in the 2000s. The nine million records 50’s debut pushed in domestic sales gave birth to the formula that dominated commercial hip-hop for the next several years. You start with the aggressive street single (“Wanksta”) to court your core fan base, follow it up with a danceable, radio-friendly single (“In Da Club”) and move on to the sweetly saccharine thug-in-love song tailored towards your growing female devotees (*21 Questions”). Sprinkle in enough gun, pimp and money talk to complete the parental advisory sticker trifecta and you have a demographics triangulating template for multiplatinum records.

50 Cent built an multi-million dollar multimedia empire with GRODT’s honed commercial formula. His G-Unit Records imprint produced a series of clone albums that became successful in their own right in the following years. G-Unit artists Lloyd Banks, Tony Yayo, Young Buck and The Game became stars in large part because their debut albums closely aped the blueprint provided by 50 Cent with his debut. It certainly didn’t hurt that Get Rich Or Die Tryin’ was a certified modern masterpiece, either. Gangster rap was in and 50 Cent became the premium purveyor of raw street aggression as he sold over 30 million records worldwide from 2003 to 2009. So, what happened? Why did 50 Cent go from sitting on hip-hop’s Iron Throne to completely falling off the mainstream map? It begins with a certain, outspoken rapper from Chicago changing the entire game.

Click here to view the embedded video.

During the summer of 2007, 50 Cent and his erstwhile rival Kanye West engaged in an ersatz battle for rap supremacy as the pair famously scheduled dueling release dates for their respective third albums on September 11th of that year. When Kanye soundly defeated 50 in collective sales during that first week – 957,000 to 691,000 – it ultimately seemed to signal a seismic shift to the collective landscape of hip-hop. Not only for 50 Cent’s career but what was actually “relevant” to hip-hop fans, themselves. Kanye’s brand of ever-adapting, progressive and personal hip-hop became the progenitor of a family tree of emotionally sensitive rappers that sprung forth from his seed. Yeezy rapped about high fashion, art, romantic relationship woes, family struggles and his own middle class background that stood in deep contrast to tales of the gangster lifestyle popular in commercial rap at the time. The first rapper with a Benz and a backpack broke the dominant mode of the ultra-macho, alpha male rapper, best exemplified by 50 Cent himself, and his commercial and critical success paved the wave for the most popular rappers of today including Drake, Kid Cudi, Macklemore, Kendrick Lamar and many others.

Kanye+West+50+Cent+2007+MTV+Video+Music+Awards+a3w8HrxZcIsl

The culture of rap music has never been more emotionally honest or willing to express their personal vulnerability than today. Meanwhile, 50 Cent has expressed total perplexity regarding today’s rappers, mocking them on social media for their fashion choices and perceived softness while he continues to plow through with the type of “aggressive content” that brought him to the dance. It is the reason that his latest offering, Animal Ambition, is an album that feels like an anachronism in today’s hip-hop climate.

Animal Ambition is not necessarily a bad album but it is an LP that feels like its directly conceived from discarded B-Sides and cutting floor leftovers from previous projects. 50 Cent is courting classic G-Unit nostalgia on the album while lacking a cohesive identity to make the album work enough on its own. Most of the album’s songs are competent enough rehashes of earlier work but lack the fire and personality that made 50 Cent shine a decade prior. It’s no wonder that Interscope balked for so many years on releasing a new album before eventually letting 50 go independent in February.

Click here to view the embedded video.

Lyrically, this album isn’t delivering anything particularly new or innovative. Animal Ambition finds 50 doubling down on the greasy talk in hopes of recapturing nostalgic fans of the G-Unit’s golden era with decidedly mixed results. Songs such as “The Funeral,” “Flip On You” and the Dr. Dre-produced “Smoke” will be pleasantly vintage to older fans, displaying 50’s trademark mastery of melody, but has a dated sound that is totally alien to modern radio. On “Chase The Paper,” you can hear 50 Cent admonishing other rappers for being “suckers for love.” Of course, this is an attack that not only ignores the fact that particular character “flaw” has made a lot of young artists extremely popular (I’m looking directly at you, Drake) but is a lyric that he literally used to describe fellow Queens rapper Nas on “Piggy Bank” in 2005. It is moments like these that make it abundantly clear why 50’s music is no longer relevant on a large scale.

During his heyday, 50 Cent’s best material had an anthemic quality that managed to overcome the fact that his lyrics often traded in rote gangster cliches without dealing with the moral complexity of Biggie, Nas or Ghostface. 50 Cent understood how to write a hit song better than any other artist of his generation but rarely did his material trade in anything that felt overtly personal to him. It’s ironic that an artist whose much-publicized, bullet-ridden life story was enough to be immortalized in a semi-autobiograpical film, there are very few truly personal narratives explored in his music. In a generation of rap music that is built almost exclusively on artist’s over-sharing their feelings, 50 is never going to be able to compete if he’s unwilling or unable to articulate a narrative beyond bland rhymes like “I woke up this morning, this is insane, Rich as a motherfucker, and ain’t much changed.”

In Zach Baron’s wonderful GQ profile, we find a more human and relatable Curtis Jackson than publicly divulged at any point his career. 50 seems more friendly, introspective, funny and poignant in that piece than on any song on Animal Ambition. An album of nostalgic gangster rap songs and a well-timed G-Unit reunion at Summer Jam isn’t likely to sell many units nor make great art. One wonders if he mined the great stories of his life, he could mount a real attempt at a comeback. If 50 Cent still wants to compete, it’s time to open up.

The Lost Tape: 2Pac’s Recently Unearthed 22 minute Conversation With Monster Kody from 1995

by Passion of the Weiss

2pac_shakur_tupac_last_photo_suge_knight_las_vegas_september_7_1996 This is almost too surreal for words. A just released 22-minute conversation of 2Pac calling Monster Kody in October ’95, fresh on bail and so newly signed to Death Row that Kody congratulates him on the deal.

“This was me and Tupac’s first conversation,” said Kody. “This was October 18th, 1995. I had just gotten out of Pelican a month before, and Pac had been out a couple of days. We did not know we were being recorded. My wife pressed record on the answering machine and unbeknown to either of us, caught some bomb ass history.”

As Gotty points out, “Bomb ass history was an understatement.” There’s so much to unravel from 2Pac’s plan to start a community youth league with Treach and Coolio. He shouts out Antoine Fuqua, then 22, while calling John Singleton a coward. He slanders the off-duty cops that he shot in Atlanta and claims that if the racial situation was reversed, they’d be giving them a ticker tape parade. He talks about his belief that the woman who accused him of rape was somehow tied up in his first Quad Studios shooting in NYC. They talk about wanting to do a Malcolm X and Alex Haley type collaboration and how 2Pac originally asked Maya Angelou to help him write it.

2Pac tells about mistreatment from the guards in prison, the three murders that occurred behind the walls, the riots, and the new video that he’s about to shoot this Wednesday. It’s with Dre and Roger. It’s going to “give it up for California.” They make plans to record. 2Pac tells him that he’s in the studio every day, which he reportedly was until that last trip to Las Vegas.I could excerpt passages, but really, if you’re a 2Pac fan, you’re going to have to listen to the whole thing in amazement.

‘Godzilla’ Really Upsets Bryan Cranston In The Latest Trailer

by Wookie Johnson

If you’ve been watching the last few Godzilla trailers, you know that Bryan Cranston seems to hate the crap out of the giant monster. The latest, extended trailer fills in the gaps to explain the Cranston-Godzilla beef. You see, it seems that Godzilla forced Cranston to have to kill his own wife. Talk about bad first impressions. That would cheese me off too.

Team Cranston! Even though he’s being a bit of a hypocrite here.

Two ‘Locke’ Trailers Follow Tom Hardy in Opposite Directions

by Russ Fischer

Two Locke Trailers

Other than saying “hey, Tom Hardy is in this!” how exactly does one promote a film in which a guy drives a car for an hour and a half? A new set of two Locke trailers attempt to tackle the problem by running in opposite directions.

“One guy in a car” is the basic setup of Locke, the film from Steven Knight in which Hardy plays a troubled guy who fields phone calls while on a drive to attend an event that could change his life. The film may have a performance from Hardy that has been praised up and down the festival circuit since the film debuted last year (as the first spot’s quote barrage shows) but it is pretty short on the whizz-bang moments that trailer editors thrive on. So the approach here is a bit novel, and the short spots are heavy on tension and atmosphere — and Hardy’s performance.

Locke opens in the UK on April 18, and hits the US on April 25. Trailers via The Playlist.

Locke is the story of one man’s life unravelling in a tension-fuelled 90-minute race against time. Ivan Locke has the perfect family, his dream job, and tomorrow should be the crowning moment of his career. But one phone call will force him to make a decision that will put it all on the line.

‘The Angriest Man in Brooklyn’ Trailer: Robin Williams Is Pissed

by Angie Han
Andrew.e.coyle

A lot of people seem to shit on Robin Williams, but I usually enjoy him in anything where he's not doing 100 impressions.

Robin Williams in The Angriest Man in Brooklyn trailer

New Yorkers aren’t exactly known for our sunny, upbeat demeanor. But even by the city’s surly standards, the character Robin Williams plays in his next movie has an attitude problem. He’s such an obnoxious jerk, in fact, that in the first Angriest Man in Brooklyn trailer, he causes his doctor (played by Mila Kunis) to snap and tell him he has 90 minutes left to live.

What ensues is a mad-dash scramble to try and set things right before time is up. Williams’ Henry attempts to quickly mend his relationships with his wife (Melissa Leo), his brother (Peter Dinklage), his son (Hamish Linklater), his friends… it turns out pretty much everyone who’s met him has reason to be unhappy with him. Watch the first Angriest Man in Brooklyn trailer after the jump.

The Angriest Man in Brooklyn Trailer

The Angriest Man in Brooklyn is the first movie directed by Phil Alden Robinson since 2002′s The Sum of All Fears. (Previously, he helmed Field of Dreams and Sneakers.) Williams hasn’t been away from the big screen for quite that long — he had a small role just last year as Dwight D. Eisenhower in Lee Daniels’ The Butler — but it does feel like it’s been a while since we saw him leading a comedy of his own.

Though the entire plot of The Angriest Man of Brooklyn revolves around Williams’ imminent death, it looks pretty lighthearted. Maybe it’s because Williams doesn’t really seem like the unhappy type to begin with. Unlike a lot of comics, he’s not particularly known for having a bitter sense of humor, and he seems more just cranky than truly, deeply angry here.

And he’s bound to be even less angry once he learns all the usual lessons about love and family and What’s Really Important in Life. Still, there’s enough fun stuff here to keep it from becoming completely saccharine. Look for The Angriest Man in Brooklyn in theaters and on VOD starting May 23.

Thanks to Yahoo, who posted the trailer.

Newswire: Wu-Tang Clan releasing a single copy of an album you can only hear at museums

by Sean O'Neal

Never one to do things the easy way, the Wu-Tang Clan is reportedly preparing to follow the July release of A Better Tomorrow—an album that will mark the 20th anniversary of the group, as well as the fourth or fifth anniversary of members of that group being pissed at RZA —with another, double album, titled Once Upon A Time In Shaolin. However, the latter will see an appropriately bizarre release, one befitting a collective with a history of complex mythology and making things difficult for themselves: Only one copy will ever be pressed, and next to no one will be able to hear it.

In a release strategy that makes Beck’s recent distribution of sheet music look like a personalized mix-tape, the sole copy of Once Upon A Time In Shaolin will be encased inside an engraved silver-and-nickel box designed by British-Moroccan artist Yahya, then taken on a ...

Watch ‘The Birth of the Lightsaber’ Featurette

by Russ Fischer
Andrew.e.coyle

pretty cool

Birth of the Lightsaber

Even if you’ve hit a saturation point with Star Wars, there’s a lot to be said for anything that documents the creation of the original trilogy. Those first three films developed and refined filmmaking techniques that continue to be influential. The lightsaber, for example, seems obvious at ubiquitous now, but it was a concept that hadn’t been seen on screen in the way Star Wars realized it back in 1977. Below, watch The Birth of the Lightsaber, the official featurette tracking the development of the fictional weapon.

When the original trilogy hit DVD in 2004, the set was accompanied by (among other things) the Birth of the Lightsaber featurette. This 15-minute doc follows the creation of the signature Star Wars weapon, through interviews with George Lucas, Ben Burrt, and Mark Hamill and on-set footage from Star Wars and Return of the Jedi. There’s great stuff here, particularly Burtt (as always) talking about how he created the sounds for the concept.

Newswire: Homestar Runner is back, sort of

by Marah Eakin

Homestar Runner is back—sort of. The Brothers Chaps finally relented to years of fan pressure and updated the much beloved site, just in time for April Fool’s Day. While the updates aren’t extensive—it’s basically just one long, but hilarious intro video featuring Homestar and Strong Bad—they’re something, and hopefully that should be enough for fans. Plus, in the clip, both Homestar and Strong Bad lay down some sick Windows 98 sounds now available for download. It’s really more than any fan could have hoped for, which unfortunately means that now all anyone’s going to want is more, more, more. 

In the meantime, now seems as good a time as any to remind people of yesterday’s smash sensation, Random Access Fhqwhgads, an hour-long mash-up of Daft Punk’s Random Access Memories and Strong Bad’s classic jam “Everybody To The Limit ...

DJ Mustard X Four Tet @ Boiler Room, Austin

by Passion of the Weiss

If you were wise enough to sit out SXSW for fear of awakening from uneasy dreams and being transformed into a giant Doritos vending machine, these clips from the Austin Boiler Room should probably suffice. The first above the jump is Mustard’s 45 minute set, which basically amounts to the closest he’ll probably get to a BBC Essentials Mix. It’s a 1.0 Greatest Hits document, where he explains that he went to London to flip “Show Me Love” (twice) and that Mannie Fresh was where he got most of his early ideas. He also plays Luniz, “Gas Pedal,” and Mac Dre’s “Feeling Myself” to make the Bay Area connection explicit. There is 2Pac and YG and Young Thug and his new single, “Vato,” which I wish I could get out of my head, but cannot. At one point Que comes out to do “OG Bobby Johnson,” ostensibly to elicit the comedy of watching 400 white music industry gladhanders getting trappey.

Four Tet’s Boiler Room set is below the jump and it’s as graceful and bespoke as you’d expect.
