  • Video: Barkley L Hendricks: Birth Of The Cool

    "What I might call her élan, her soul," says Rick Powell, Duke University professor about one of Barkley Hendricks '70s portraits of black Americans. It's a funny mashing of experts talking art and some really old rad personal style that we just cannot replicate in current times. We wrote about Hendricks' first retrospective happening now at Duke's Nasher Museum but have yet been unable to make it to North Carolina to see the exhibit (though we—and you—have until July). This video tour of the exhibit is second best, but we'll take it. Because even if we went right now Hendricks wouldn't be there rocking a sweet neckscarf and he is on YouTube. Win some/lose some.

  • Video: "Without the King" Movie Trailer

    FADER Films' Michael Skolnik finally released Without the King, his documentary about Swaziland's King Mswati III (NY Times review here), and it's still showing in New York! It just got extended at the Quad Cinemas at 34 W. 13th Street (between 5th & 6th Aves) after a successful first weekend. GO SEE IT BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE!

  • Video: New Jersey And Paris, Together Again

    When we were in high school our math teachers didn't know anything about math because they were really water polo coaches and our english teachers were really german professors but the kids at Newark, New Jersey's Arts High School got real with Parisian art/fashion collective Andrea Crews. AC's art director Maroussia Rebecq taught them to make insane sculpture ensembles out of second hand clothing and this is a (err, crappy ) video of the process, which mostly shows the kids playing musical chairs, spinning into a psychedelic fairy tale of rainbow sucking goblins, and having no sense of adult remorse, which, unfortunately, we have now that we're older.

  • Video: Blindness Movie Trailer

    We've lately been pretty satisfied with the movie interpretations of our favorite books (No Country for Old Men and um... well we can't think of anything else, but we heard Jane Austen's Emma is getting remade into Lil Mama's "Lip Gloss" video). And we're DYING to see the film version of Jose Saramago's broad, stunning Nobel Prize winner Blindness, about a blindness epidemic and the subsequent apocalyptic breakdown of society. Realllll talk. It's directed by Fernando Mereilles (City of God!) and stars Mark Ruffalo, Julianne Moore, Danny Glover, Sandra Oh, Alice Braga and most importantly GAEL GARCIA BERNAL. Today we got the trailer in the email and basically passed out from awesome.

  • Video: Mister Lonely Trailer

    We can't say we were weirded out when we found out that the concept for Harmony Korine's next film was that a Michael Jackson impersonator meets a Marilyn Monroe impersonator and she takes him to a commune where she lives with a Charlie Chaplin impersonator and a Shirley Temple impersonator. Like, at one point in our lives we watched Gummo in an empty house at 3am and felt gross for a month afterwards. This one looks a little more wholesome, but no less strange.

  • Video: The Wire In Four Minutes

    Every season of The Wire could go on forever and we would not be mad, so obviously a four minute recap doesn't quite do the show justice, but as a refresher course it's not bad. Dudes, could it be the best four minute catch-up ever?
