"The Magnitude of the Continental Divides"

I can dig it. I'd actually like to work with this guy, so if you happen to read this, I got my eye on you!

"King of Hollywood" / Glenn Plummer

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 where he's again playing the concerned father, but this time around of a troubled Hollywood teen with a whole new set of challenges/obstacles. And thanks to my buddy Jesse Taylor, who hooked up the location Rudolph's before it opened. [Disclaimer: I have no affiliation nor endorse the website being promoted on the video]. Here it is..

Oil War in Los Angeles

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 confirmed it. My only qualm with the video is the host keeps referring to all these sub-neighborhoods as West Hollywood. Nowhere in LA does Pico even come close to running through WeHo. Nevertheless here's VBS exploring LA's oil underground..

Pacquio v. Cotto / Pic by Pic

Let's get ready to... recap.

















Cotto kept going, despite his face.










I don't blame Cotto's wife.





And that's that. Last round TKO. 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 when you're that good, somebody has to.

"The Ed Hardy Boyz"

Very funny, why didn't I think of this!? From the online portal Funny or Die, growing proof that more and more people will find their entertainment of choice on the internet.
