Lemmy, the Movie

Playing in Portland right now through the 21st, and elsewhere concurrently and ongoing. Checkout the trailers after the jump or look up screenings in your town on the official site. Looks great, lot’s of interviews with people I like, plus, it’s Lemmy, you know? Even NPR likes him. If you’re hungry for more, The Onion has an interview with the filmmakers.

el Borto strikes again

Jason Bettineski posts pictures of awesome/weird/scary items he and his wife find at the aptly named Goodwill Goldmine. This is a ceramic version of what we can only guess might be Bart Simpson, or his nemesis from Shelbyville, Bort Sampson. According to Jason, the only thing more awe inspiring than the creative catharsis that spawned Bort Sampson is the idea crossed the mind of the artist before he/she donated it. It might have gone a little soemthing like this… “I shouldn’t throw this away, someone might want to buy it.” Reminds me of a little something Grover picked up for me at Good Will.

Roller Derby!

I’m into it. Saw my first match this weekend at the Rose City Rollers season opener. I wasn’t sure what to expect but I really enjoyed it. I’m still not completely solid on all the rules, but I’ll be back again. Pabst Blue Ribbon is one of league sponsors and they raffled off a Pabst longboard of all things. I was going to snap a phone cam picture of it but I didn’t want all the Burnside locals to croak and then roll over in their graves. Getting back to roller derby… interesting to see the now defunct Rebel Skates still listed as a sponsor. But anyway, go see roller derby!

eBay Watch: December 2010

December 2010 was a great month on eBay. There were lots of great decks: some classics and some more unusual ones that don’t get seen too often. I’ve left out some of the “classics” this month, because let’s face it. How many more times can I show a PP Lance Mountain Future Primitive? Yes it’s a great, classic graphic, but after a while it gets dull for me to write about, and probably for you reading this. If I see one in a truly outstanding colorway then perhaps I will show it, but otherwise it has gone the way of the Hawk. And I don’t care if it did fetch over $1000, if I’m not excited about showing it then it’s not in here, whether that be due to over saturation or a poor photograph. I often get emails asking why I didn’t feature a certain auction. Normally it’s because the photo sucked. If the photo is super small, fuzzy and has bad color, then it’s not allowed in here. My readers have to be able to look at the deck as well as read about it. That’s part of the deal.

The (other) Skateboard Movie

Another skateboard movie made with Legos. It’s got slapstick, chase scenes, sound effect, lavish sets and a garage punk soundtrack thanks to the Beatnik Termites. What more could you ask for? How about surprise twist at the end, or more like another movie grafted on. Still fun.

– Thanks to Matthijs for the tip.
