Feed Your Head By Darryl Mason Another post where I recycle the past few weeks of Twitter posts and links and try to pass them here as fresh, original blog content. But you know better. Hope there's a few stories here you missed, or needed to be reminded of. These are from the first few weeks of November : 80-90% of all US combat troops have been withdrawn from Iraq since Barack Obama made this promise...
Josh Sacco, the 4-year-old who became an internet sensation with his impassioned and spot-on performance of Herb Brooks’ speech (as done by Kurt Russell in the film Miracle) to the U.S. Olympic hockey team before they played the Russians in Lake Placid in 1980, has quickly carved out a cottage industry resulting from his video.

The next step in reality programming crossed with branded entertainment? REPLAY from Gatorade and TBWA\Chiat\Day. It’s a new take on Joes vs. Joes as they replay history 15 years after the fact. (A throwback idea to Kurt Russell and Robin Williams 25 years ago in Best of Times . Yeah, no, it is.*) This first show, it’s the Easton Area Red Rovers vs. the Phillipsburg Stateliners trying for...
Baseball star ALEX RODRIGUEZ has reportedly splashed out on a $40,000 (GBP25,000) ring for girlfriend KATE HUDSON to thank her for cheering him on through the...

John Carpenter's Big Trouble in Little China (1986) is an enjoyable mash-up of classic Westerns, Saturday-morning serials, and Chinese wuxia than any of the Indiana Jones movies, with Kurt Russell in full bloom as Carpenter's de rigueur hard-drinkin', hard-gamblin', wise-crackin' loner...
Goldie Hawn meditates with an unidentified companion. (AP) Okay, so remember when Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell did that awful "Overboard" movie in the '80s? No? Well have a look, because it was the first thing I thought of when I saw the above picture move across the wires this morning. According to the caption, Hawn's meditating in a boat in Varanasi, India. What could be going through her...
When it comes to books, games and music I’m often happiest away from the bright lights of the charts, exploring dark, dusty corners of the catalogue. Film, though… I never seem to enjoy going beyond big budget megahits. I’ve fallen asleep in every single one of Pedro Almodovar’s films. These three threads (one, two, three) on [...]
