Music Videos of the Week: Grizzly Bear - "Two Weeks" & Paramore - "Brick By Boring Brick"
In keeping with the twofer trailer offer this week, here are two music videos I enjoy quite a bit. The first is Grizzly Bear's creepy "Two Weeks". The second is Paramore's "Brick By Boring Brick", a gorgeous video. And I have to say Haley looks pretty darn great with blonde hair.
Movie Trailer of the Week - Greenberg / Salt
I couldn't decide this week. On one hand you have Greenberg, the first Ben Stiller film since 1998's Permanent Midnight to showcase his dramatic acting ability. It was directed by Noah Baumbach, who previously helmed movies such Kicking and Screaming (1995), Mr. Jealousy, The Squid and the Whale, and Margot at the Wedding.
On the other hand, I've been wanting to post the butt kicking trailer for Salt starring Angelina Jolie for a while now. It just looks so good and the trailer literally brought me to the edge of my seat with excitement.
So, here are both. The quiet and the loud. The small and the big. Watch them here or watch them in hi-def at Apple the links under their names.

Music Video of the Week: Marina & The Diamonds - "I Am Not A Robot"
This is the second video by Marina & The Diamonds I have posted within a month. They are setting a new bar of excellence in music videos.
Praise God, "Mass: We Pray" is fake.
Turns out "Mass: We Pray" was a brilliant viral marketing campaign from EA Games for their upcoming game Dante's Inferno. When you click "Pre-order now" at the Mass: We Pray site you are now taken to a screen that states the following:"He who betrays the beliefs of the Church blackens his soul with the sin of Heresy. A Mass not celebrated by ordained priest or on consecrated soil is naught but false ritual condemned by clergy. Thou hast befouled thine eyes with the filth of profane works and betrayed all things sacred. For thy punishment, thou shalt be damned to burn in flaming tombs and hang from enflamed crosses. An an eternity of infernal fire will not cleanse thee."
That sets up a video trailer for Dante's Inferno, coming in February of next year.
All of this must make the people who truly believed "Mass" was real feel really silly. Specifically this girl (warning: she likes profanity).
More Autotune, Please
Any frequent reader knows I love to blog about autotune. I have no idea why. Just look at the tag for autotune below...aw, heck just click here. This weeks viral vid is autotuned. And here is an informative and funny expose on the history of the technology that made T-Pain's career:
"Mass: We Pray" - Horrifingly real or hilariously fake?
I have been searching for about fifteen minutes and I sincerely can not tell if this is a parody or if "Mass: We Pray" really will be coming to a If it's Christian satire, it's hilarious. If it's real, it's hilariously sad. Watch this, go to the website, and tell me what you think.
It wouldn't be the first time a Christian VG company released a ripoff version of another game. The company Digital Praise has made a living out of it. There's the "Dance Dance Revolution" imitation "Praise Dance" ("now available for the iPhone!") and Guitar Praise (coming soon for iPhone...I guess we'll have to wait for the Christian iPhone itself).
Oh, want to see great Christian satire? Go to Lark for what is essentially the Christian Onion. Go to the website for the fictional Landover Baptist Church. I pray no one thinks that church site is real and that is why I also pray the Mass game is not real.
Stay tuned...

Movie Trailer of the Week - Humble Pie
It took a long time for 2007 film American Fork to come to theaters. It took so long they renamed it Humble Pie. It is showing in (very) limited release in theaters now. Nowhere near hear, I'm afraid.
I watched a ton of trailers (I had more to sort through considering I took last week off) and this was by far the most interesting of the pack. It's a shame it probably won't come to your local cineplex.
It releases on DVD December 8. Get it at Amazon or Netflix.
