The Ten

Everyone should know "The Ten" is great. Really great. It reminded me a lot of "The State" with a hint of "Mr. Show". It was not like "Wet Hot American Summer" or "Stella" and yet it was still great.

Comedy Crush - The Lonely Island

Since 'Hot Rod' comes out today I thought this might be relevant.
Andy Samberg, Akiva Schaffer and Jorma Taccome grew up together in Berkley, CA. They met in junior high stayed palls through high school, then went their separate ways for college. Essentially they all went to film school then reunited in LA in 2001 to form The Lonely Island with other palls, Chester Tam and Jonah Goldstein.
The Lonely Island's first, most notable production was 'The Bu', an OC parody made for Channel 101. 'The Bu' went on to be the second longest running show on 101. They made a bunch of music videos, shorts and pilots which brought them enough attention that they were hired by SNL, Andy as a player and Akiva and Jorma as writers. The Lonely Island brought 'SNL digital shorts' to SNL, which is currently its saving grace.
The Lonely Island was commissioned by MTV and Fox to come up with a sketch show but neither pilot was picked up.
Today 'Hot Rod' premiers, starring Andy and Jorma, and directed by Akiva.
The Lonely Island has been an inspiration to many young comedic filmmakers, proving that if you make a ton of funny videos (which have celebrity cameos) and draw enough attention to your website you can earn your keep as a short filmmaker.

Summer Home - geeez

Tommie Wilhelmsen's Kolonihagen Summerhouse.(Treehugger)

SECOND HOME
–noun
-an additional residence, as at the shore or in the country, where one goes on weekends, vacations, and the like.

If this were my second home, I would make it my first home unless my first home was better than my second home. In all honesty, I would rather have two second homes. Enough said.
Check out the inside, all the furniture is built in. Norwegians know how to maximize space.

Comedy Crush - Paul Rudd

Since I said I would, I guess I will.
Paul Stephen Rudd was born on April 6th 1969 in Passaic, New Jersey but really grew up in Overland Park, Kansas. He was born to two Brits, his mother a manager at a television station and his father worked for the airlines.
Paul graduated from University of Kansas with a theater degree and continued his theater studies in LA and London. In 1992 he got his first TV role on 'Sisters', where he played Ashley Judds boyfriend. He stayed on the show till 1995, when he got the part of Alecia Silverstone's poli-brother in "Clueless". Since, he has done a bunch of theater, a grip of TV appearances(like Friends)and a slew of movies(like Romeo+Juliet).
But in 2001 great things started happening for Paul. He made "Wet Hot American Summer" which solidified his relationship with David Wain. They made a few Stella Shorts together and now Paul is a producer of "The Ten". Paul made friends with Judd Apatow in 2004 on Anchorman and they have since made two other great films together. Paul has also done some great indies like "The Baxter" and "Reno 911: Miami".
Thanks Paul, you've done good by me.

Enjoy
