Pure, comedic genius. I genuinely snorted out some giggles, and that's not easy to do. A-Trak specifically does a great job, hit all of the right comedic notes. Watch this over and over and over again - because you will.

I received an Official Honoree at this year's Webby Awards for the series "Mission Makeover" I produced and showran for AOL Studios. Yippee!

Read this in Deadline today. AMC Theaters and Regal Cinema have teamed up and created a new film distribution company called Open Road. It's being headed by Tom Ortenberg, a guy I used to brush past in the hallway when I worked at Lionsgate almost a decade ago. Without getting into too much detail, basically it cuts out the studio middle men who essentially mostly dictate what you see and don't

Today, stopped by Nacho's house. From the outside it looks like your average fourplex off of Beverly near CBS Television City, but once you step inside, it's a whole 'notha world. Nacho aka Nathan Cabrera is the wildly talented artist behind the designs for brands like DrX and The Real McCoy..The house is outfitted with more taxidermy and creepy stuff than I've ever encountered in a single place.

I doubt the guy's clean, he's definitely hopped up. But I can somewhat understand, or maybe he's that persuasive, re: his frustration of people passing judgment on him, especially in the high stress and fast pace of a hit studio show. Not only is Two and a Half Men making CBS money hand over fists, but has boosted the network to television dominance, specifically through it's portfolio of

So recently got brought on to consult for the new MTV GYT campaign, which stands for Get Yourself Tested, an effort to raise sexual health awareness. My job was to wrangle some tastemakers from Los Angeles, so I recruited friends Han Cholo, Bobby Hundreds, Lovemade, and Buff Monster.

Here, Bottleservice visits The Hundreds' office to provide style consultation!Kroll first caught fire with this character in the Funny Or Die hit viral series The Ed Hardy Boyz.

That's Park Chan-wook, acclaimed South Korean director of the classic psychological thriller "Old Boy". Here's one of my favorite scenes from the film..Park is soon to unveil his new film "Paranmanjang", in English translated to "Ups and Downs".

Sorry for the long hiatus, but winter tends to shut down not only the town, but also our collective brains. To start the new year off, Kim Jong Il Looking At Things!

Last Thursday, after an already long day, I braved the freeways over to Santa Monica for the Opening Night Art Show surrounding the buzzworthy Garfield and The Hundreds collaboration and pop-up shop. If you haven't noticed by the abundance of The Hundreds' related posts on my blog, we've recently created a content partnership where I essentially make all the videos for them. The pop-up had a

Louis C.K. in my opinion is the funniest, rawest comedian out there. Notoriously known to hate his own kids, the guy's not one to shy away from any topic - even confessing to committing beastiality with is own dog. His HBO series "Lucky Louie" featured the venerable multi-cam format, but with Louis talking mad s**t - it was brilliant, albeit short lived. Today, he's on FX with his new show "

Here's a new video from the annual, and absolute frenzied, Black Friday sale at The Hundreds' LA store.

The other day, we shot the next installment of The Hundreds commercial campaign, this time a behind-the-scenes shoot with ex-Playmate Holly Madison, made famous by the hugely popular E! show "Girls Next Door". Coincidentally, I'm working on a television show produced by the same company that produces her show, with another Playboy talent. Can't spill the beans quite yet. Back to Holly, evidently

So waited a day to circumvent the lines, and last night picked up my copy of the new "Call of Duty: Black Ops"..For those not too familiar with the COD series, this installment was created by Treyarch, the game developer who trades off with Infinity Ward in pumping out the addictive first-person shooter. To put it simply, Infinity Ward is the superior developer, solely responsible for all of the

First of a series of commercial spots I'll be creating for The Hundreds on a monthly basis. They wanted to feature the Fall 2010 collection, so I came up with a back-to-school theme. Here it is."Back to School" / The Hundreds Fall 2010 from Danny Lee on Vimeo.

I can't help but to like this guy. Although this whole stunt reminds me of Andy Kaufman. From what I can see as a mere observer, Phoenix has always seemed honest and genuine. He also seems like he's on some serious drugs. Here's the trailer to Casey Affleck directed documentary about Joaquin Phoenix, and his strange journey of recent..

Really? Well I'm pretty sure I don't want to hear it. That's what most people are probably thinking when you say that. I myself am always trying to figure out what makes a project attractive, even bulletproof. Successful screenwriter John August breaks it down break in his blog. Read it, learn from it, don't bother me with half-baked ideas. Not that I'm anybody, but do that for yourself!

Being released by Paramount Vantage, this film is about the single most transformative innovation of my generation - the internet. Layered within this premise is good ol' capitalism. The film stars Luke Wilson and looks pretty engaging, stylish too. Here's the trailer..

HBO does it again - a period drama taking place in Atlantic City in the 20's, starring Steve Buscemi. Also written by "The Sopranos" writer Terence Winter, and the pilot directed by Martin Scorcese. How the f**k could you go wrong. Here it is..Preview Trailer #3

In light of this week's E3 excitement, perfect timing for some Mortal Kombat buzz. Young director Kevin Tancharoen, bombed with the 80's remake "Fame", as well as crappy reality show "Twentyfourseven" on MTV, which was supposed to be the real life "Entourage". Instead, it turned out to be a 'follow along' with characters who we had no reason to follow, nor like. So as quick as Tancharoen's stock

You may love the show, you may hate the show. I take it for face value, an entertaining look into the mechanics of Hollywood. Here's the trailer for the upcoming season, although in my opinion comes off anti-climactic and unclear. Nevertheless, here it is..

Today had lunch at the M Cafe in Culver City with my 2 favorite social media ladies of Culture Jam. There's Amanda MacNaughton and Jessie Rubin..These 2 think forward, act forward, and are just all around good people. Check 'em out and what they've built.

Felt the need to share this new little delicious eatery in my neighborhood.. Muma off Melrose/Poinsettia recently took over the square feet from a waffle desert place that never caught on. This little Mediterranean gem is the go-to spot when you're hungry on a budget. There's the chicken shawarma pita I usually get..And some homemade sweet potato fries..The real clincher is their open salad bar,

Today, stopped by Glory Motor Works - the vintage motorcycle shop responsible for building the classic bikes you see in movies like "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" and the upcoming "Mission: Impossible IV".

Sorry friends, wish I could be up in arms about "Clash of the Titans", like I was about "Avatar". This version was nothing but a contemporary, hollow version of its former self. Barely any storyline, bad CG effects, and post 3D conversion that barely made a difference. In fact, the effects in this film almost felt as cheap as those History Channel graphics, not kidding! The film really just

This morning had breakfast with Alex Kruglov in Content Acquisition & International at Hulu. If there have been any forces that have truly transformed the media landscape in the last couple years, it has got to be Hulu. Their aggressive content gathering has essentially made the ad rev-share business model commonplace. PS - the avocado and cheddar cheese breakfast burrito at Lemon Moon is pretty

I'm genuinely curious about this upcoming web series. The premise is interesting, lock up 12 people 40 feet below the ground, and see what happens. Could be a hit or miss, but it will be a good case study to see if viewers are and will be willing to pay a subscription premium in the near future. Here's the trailer from their site..

Today, sat down with my friend Caroline D'Amore and her manager Jeb Brandon. We're 3 building on something new. Here we are at the offices of Kritzer Levine Wilkins Griffin Entertainment..Interestingly enough, KLWG Entertainment is the same firm/company where Evan Ross is managed, who is attached to my feature "Backpackers". The Wood is truly a small town.

My friend and guy I admire musically, Aloe Blacc is on the steady climb like you could only expect. His new single "I Need a Dollar" is the theme track on HBO's new show "How To Make It In America". The show can definitely use some better writing, but this post isn't about what the show needs, but rather Aloe's first theme track..You can download the amazing track here.

Yesterday, took a trip out east to Highland Park to visit J-Rocc, original Beat Junkie and one of the most respected DJ's actually from this city. And he's a real DJ, not just a button pusher like many of these faux club DJ's saturating the scene. There he is in what was supposed to be bedroom #2..That's just one room. J can very well be on the show "Hoarders", the vinyl edition. Here's how much

Yesterday, headed down to Raleigh Studios in Manhattan Beach to direct/edit the behind-the-scenes featurettes for the CBS show "Medium"..Like many other shows, it started on NBC, but after a good run and rising production costs, the Peacock dropped it. Luckily CBS stepped up, and now the show is in its sixth season..There's Patricia Arquette at 'work'..While she's at work, here's their faux

Yesterday, I took a trip out west to have a round table lunch at the Viceroy in Santa Monica. Waiting for me were a few colleagues who know their s**t when it comes to the brave new frontier of new media.

Earlier today, stopped by Peanut Butter Wolf's slightly newer house in the 'eastside hills'. You might remember his last Griffith Park house where he had a few slammin' NYE parties. The new spot is nicer, he's married now.

OK Go has been known for innovative, yet engagingly simple music videos. Here's their newest entitled "This Too Shall Pass". Pretty cool, especially since anyone with a prosumer camera could've made this, with the right patience..And the 'treadmill video' that's been referenced through the pop culture universe ever since.

One of the series I'm currently directing, producing & editing for AOL called "The Show Girl" - a weekly roundup of all news related to TV. This one is on the upcoming Golden Globes..

Around the same time last year, I wrote a blog about MTV possibly going dark. Well Time Warner Cable and Viacom obviously struck a deal, otherwise you would never have experienced the sheer entertainment that "Jersey Shore" has provided us! Anyhow, in '09 it's not Viacom that's threatening, but another media behemoth Fox, which has a multitude of channels including broadcast Fox, FX, AND Fox

I like all types of films. But thrillers usually top my list of favorite genres, and while flipping through On-Demand, this little co-production gem pleasantly surprised me. The IMDB logline reads "A Trans-Siberian train journey from China to Moscow becomes a thrilling chase of deception and murder when an American couple encounters a mysterious pair of fellow travelers." "Transsiberian" stars

Another vignette from the '06 dark comedy I wrote/directed called "King of Hollywood". So far you should've seen the scenes with Todd Bridges and Ike Turner. This one stars Glenn Plummer, whose played seminal characters like O.G. Bobby Johnson from "South Central" and High-Top from "Colors". In particular when he played Bobby Johnson, here I wanted to create a curious parallel to that storyline

Thanks for the find Raymond. In light of me writing the feature "Black Gold" about the Nigerian oil industry, I've discovered we're having our own clandestine oil war right here in LA. Have you always wondered what the flowered-pattern tower spewing out smoke next to Beverly High is on Olympic? Or that inconspicuous DWP building on Pico, just east of Bevery Dr? I had a sneaking feeling, this

Pacman snatches the Welterweight title from Cotto, who fought valiantly.Pound for pound, Pacquio will make you 'peel da pury'! Next up, Mayweather. Still proof that while UFC is more brutal, boxing remains classy. And why was Larry Merchant hating so hard on Pacquio? Because

This Saturday, I'm hosting the LA premiere of the surf doc "Chasing The Lotus" at the Bel Air Film Festival. The film is a fusion of rare super 8mm film, photo stills and contemporary interviews blended together to be the most in-depth look at surfing discovery ever made. Directed by a friend of mine and fellow Gaucho Gregory Schell, it's also narrated by the dude, Jeff Bridges, who's starring in

Another vignette from "King of Hollywood" I wrote/directed in 2006. This time with the late great Ike Turner and his son, Ike Jr. He had just got off a plane from NY and was exhausted. So exhausted that he had to read his lines off cue cards! No joke, here's the video..

The real 2012, a documentary by Chris Smith centering on the theories of Michael Ruppert, as Tribeca Film describes him, a former LAPD cop who believes that the current economic climate is a sign that industrial civilization is on the precipice of a complete meltdown. Who know what's to happen in what's only 3 years away. Here's the trailer..

I'm sad to report, but I wasn't a fan of Spike Jonze's "Where The Wild Things Are". The book was coincidentally the first book I ever read, rented it from the Gardner Public Library when I was 5. I couldn't put it down, I ate every word like it was candy. The book was a creative awakening for me.. The film just didn't live up. My biggest beef with it was Carol and the crew's voices. They sounded

Today heard a big bang on my door, sounded like the cops. But it was just the Fedex dude..Ripped the box open and it was my free copy of DJ Hero, courtesy of the kind publicists over at Activision..Thank you Jordan Dodge in particular. I was dubious at first, but the game proves that it's not only really fun and well thought out, but truly an accomplishment in just its existence!

Wow, this brings back memories. As a teen I dabbled with tagging, bus bombing, typical LA adolescent behavior. But when it got to this level, I opted out. Here's a video of how stupid in retrospect, the early-mid 90's phenomenon called 'tagbanging' was..
