Prince vs. Radiohead: The battle over copyright

A couple of friends of mine went to Coachella last month and they mentioned that Prince had done a cover of Radiohead’s hit song Creep. I knew that eventually that would hit the internets and we’d all get a chance to listen to it. Well, apparently the videos went up but were quickly pulled by Prince. Radiohead heard about the performance and were happy that the guy performed it but were upset that he had asked You Tube to pull the video since they owned the song. So the big question now is who’s got the right to what when it comes down to copyright and ownership. Hmmmm….I think Prince is gonna lose this one (wadda jackass, IMO. He’s the one making money off of others!). Check out the full story over here at CNN and let us know what you think.

RZA drops new video from his upcoming album

You Can’t Stop Me Now is the title of this joint off RZA’s upcoming album, Digisnacks. And the timing couldn’t be any better. It’s like RZA drops this little gem a day before the Fresno Blogger Olympics in my honor to destroy all. Now it’s on like Voltron. Yeah, I’m still gonna suck but it’s good to draw on some inspiration, right? Gotta keep positive. If you dig the video, check out the behind the scenes vid for some insight into the making of the video.

Zack & Miri Make A Porno teaser is here to start your weekend right….or wrong, depending on your prudeness

So a glimpse of the film is here….and it’s very R-rated so bewarned as it is NSFW. Kevin Smith has said that not a single frame of this teaser will be in the final movie but rather it serves as an introduction to the film, as to not spoil too much for the audience. I could only imagine this is how casting for a porno goes like. Word is that a full trailer should be attached to the upcoming Judd Apatow comedy Pineapple Express. Until then, enjoy! Also, check out Quickstop Entertainment for Quicktime and other versions of the teaser for your consumption.

Burn After Reading trailer drops on iTunes

And it’s a red band at that! The Coen Brothers follow up No Country For Old Men with this little film starring George Clooney, Tilda Swinton, John Malkovich & Brad Pitt. Enough babbling, go here to check it out!

The Wackness goes viral, dampers my excitement for release

Hmmm…I hope this is going somewhere but here it is for your consumption.

Did you miss the Fresno Filmmakers Forum Mixer last Thurs.?

Fresnocentric bloggers over at Fresnocentric.com have posted up a wonderful write up on last Thursdays mixer which happened over at Full Circle Brewery (damn, I fell in love with those Russian Stouts; 11% is A-okay in my book!). Also included are some video clips for your entertainment. We met a lot of cool people and I hope that many more of you guys can make it out to the next one, which is tentatively planned for June or July. Check out the story here!
