Elijah Wood
Remember that epic half-hour Beastie Boys video for “Fight For Your Right (Revisited)”?
There was hooliganism, Will Arnett getting hit with a flying beer, and a literal pissing contest… man, it was great stuff.
One of the principal actors in the video was Elijah Wood and Sarah spoke to him recently about it for Spinner.
Basically Wood called it one of the best experiences of his life.

Spike Lee and Skrillex
The Toronto International Film Festival announced a number of new movies that would be showing at the event and there were a few music ones amongst the names.
The highest profile would probably be Spike Lee‘s Michael Jackson documentary Bad 25 about Jacko’s Bad album. Next is Harmony Korine‘s Spring Breakers and its soundtrack by Skrillex. Then there’s Greetings From Tim Buckley, which is probably the lowest profile of the three, but likely the most interesting to record collector types.
Anyway, Sarah wrote a recap about this for Spinner. You can read more by clicking here.

Eminem, Peaches and Rob Zombie
The Toronto International Film Festival announced a number of its music related movies earlier this week and Sarah was in on the announcement.
There’s going to be some fascinating stuff: Peaches is going to be doing a musical, that will be a film, Rob Zombie‘s horror flick Lords Of Salem will premiere, and Snoop Dogg will document his transformation into Bob Marley’s ghost as Snoop Lion. There’s also a movie with Eminem in it. And more.

Batmobile Tumbler above front view
I saw the Batmobile the other day. Sorry, the “Tumbler” — which is a dumb name. It was at the corner of Yonge & Eglinton along with the Batcycle, sorry “Batpod” — also a dumb name — for some promotion.
If the whole point was to get me excited for The Dark Knight Rises, well… congratulations. It worked.
