Chronic(What!)-cles of Wild Things
Narnia: a beloved children’s book series, a major motion picture, and now – an SNL rap video featuring online mapping software and cupcakes. I’ve been meaning to post this for over a week now, but I have been unable to stop laughing long enough. If you haven’t seen this video yet, be prepared, you may soil yourself. Sample lyrics, “call us Aaron Burr the way we’re dropping Hamiltons”. That is the illin’est. Rap Bonus: if one of your New Year’s resolutions is to (finally) enter a rap battle, this guide might be useful.
In other kid’s book news, Where the Wild Things Are is slated to begin filming and will based upon a screenplay by Spike Jonze (who will also direct) and personal fave, Dave Eggers.
Also: our Blog turns 1 year old today. Happy Birthday, everyone.

The way Chris Parnell answers the phone always slays me.
A friend had his wedding (cup)cake(s) catered by Magnolia. Now I wish I had gone to the wedding.
As for the other item, why can’t every outlet feature writing like Variety’s? And, who in the world will play Max?

On Variety: Do you think that there was an editor’s meeting where someone said, “if I see any paragraphs longer than two sentences you’re out on your ass. Also, movie jargon is encouraged.”

Should Parnell retire? Clearly this is the height of his comedy career.

Oops. I just watched this with my kids about eight feet behind me. I suspect they heard it, although I feared looking back to see if they were paying attention. I’ll know if next time I ask my daughter what she’s doing in the bottom drawer of the pantry and she looks up and says “Snack attack, mother f***er!”

And I just watched it with my kids behind me who are now dancing around the room in their underwear asking to see it again and again……..
And for the record – Magnolia’s cupcakes are worthy of making the trip to NYC.

I am out of town for work. There’s a movie theatre right next door, and I’m seriously considering being transported to a dream world of magic.

More on Variety: Certainly this segment — “Rather than put a kibosh on the pic, U decided to let the producers shop it to other studios. Warners is prepping the pic as a tentpole.” — must be a quote from our ridic friend, but non-blogger, ViewMaster.

Mr. DJ — Forget being transported to a dream world of magic. Skip the porn and go see Narnia!

I opted for the blanket show instead.

Six cakes? 12 cakes? No — baker’s dozen! I TOLD you I love those cupcakes, cousin.
Funniest goddamn thing that’s been on the sinking, rudderless oil tanker in flames that is SNL in five years.
Uh… guess that covers it. I’ll be back in four months. Have a nice spring.
