Video: Bicycle riding the 10 and 405 Los Angeles Freeways
April 23rd, 2008 Written by: admin · 3 Comments
Riding your bike on any public road in Los Angeles is always a nightmare, the vast majority of drivers seem to have a general disdain for your presence and a lack of drivers ed. Perry and his friend over at bannedbikes decided to take things up a notch with an organized Santa Monica Freeway ride, covering a stretch of the 10 and the 405, nine other riders showed up for the making of the video you see below. Perry mentions that he has come to the conclusion that his rush hour ride was no less safe than a grid locked PCH (pacific coast highway), I think that says more about about Perry than the safety of the routes. The ride was organized as a fun event as opposed to a political statement and the posting of the video seems to have caused some melodrama in the local cycling community, more to follow.

Interview: Jackie Chan
April 16th, 2008 Written by: admin · 2 Comments
Jackie Chan is in Los Angeles promoting his latest movie, Forbidden Kingdom, which will be released nationwide on the 18th of April. For the first time ever, Jackie Chan and Jet Li can be seen on screen together in this action adventure tale of a teenage boy traveling back in time to ancient China to learn Kung-Fu from Lu Yan (Jackie Chan) and the silent Monk (Jet Li).
Forbidden Kingdom and it’s writer John Fusco, clearly have a genuine admiration for the history of the cinema of martial arts, Kung Fu and Chinese folk lore. The pacing seemed disjointed and lethargic at times overly relying on self conscious high end production values, BUT (and it is a big but) it does have Jet Li and Jackie Chan busting heads, which buys a lot of leeway with any fight fan.
Anyway, enough of us and a little more of Jackie…
Are you happy with the movie, you have a reputation for being very critical of your work?
I would never make a movie like this, my instinct is to think this is a ridiculous movie with flying monkey kings and time travel, it is not a Chinese movie, it is a Hollywood movie, but I trust the director and I trust the American audience. John (John Fusco | writer) loves Kung Fu he and is very knowledgeable, so I don’t know if it matters if I am happy, but I know others are.
Michael Angarano plays your student in this movie, in the “Drunken Master” you were the student, how does it feel to have your roles reversed?

Photo Essay: Royal/T - Artsy Maid-Service
April 14th, 2008 Written by: admin · 1 Comment
There was a line down the block to get into the inaugural event at Royal/T in Culver City. The space was filled with art curated to explore the appealing and yet revolting qualities of Kawaii, or “cute” pop culture. The cafe was not yet set up, but there were “maid” waitresses passing around chocolates and other sweets. We expected to see a few more “cosplay”participants, but the ones we did see were dressed to the teeth, usually themed towards the American 20’s.

Public service announcement - Jury and SSN Fraud
February 7th, 2008 Written by: admin · No Comments
Most of us take those summonses for jury duty seriously, but enough people skip out on their civic duty, that a new and ominous kind of fraud has surfaced.
The caller claims to be a jury coordinator. If you protest that you never received a summons for jury duty, the scammer asks you for your Social Security number and date of birth so he or she can verify the information and cancel the arrest warrant. Give out any of this information and bingo; your identity was just stolen.
The fraud has been reported so far in 11 states, including Oklahoma, Illinois, and Colorado. This (swindle) is particularly insidious because they use intimidation over the phone to try to bully people into giving information by pretending they are with the court system. The FBI and the federal court system have issued nationwide alerts on their web sites, warning consumers about the fraud. [FBI]
My advice would be to not give you SSN to anyone other than the bank and your employer, have a read of this - Time
