Well, Nike, with their billions of dollars, and millions of childrens ears to the street heard about the film maker, and, thought, why the hell don’t we get this guy on our side? We’ll pay him a shit load of money, and he can make an advert for our #make it count campaign. Casey decided to take them up on the offer, but, he and a friend decided to fly around the world, and not stop until they ran out of cash. How long did that take? 10 days.The video has caught enough steam, that it’s likely done the trick for Nike, even if Casey and his mate were trying out an act of rebellion. The clip is just under 5 minutes of wonderfully edited adrenaline.

He also laid a hit on Jordan Eberle, a hit that definetly targeted the head, and resulted in a 4 game suspension. Here’s a look at that one.

Here’s the latest, from tonight Torres takes out Marian Hossa. Hossa was carried out on a stretcher.

How deep was the lineup? Not featured below, but at the festival was Radiohead, Arctic Monkeys, Florence and the Machine, Bon Iver, David Gueta, Pulp, Justice, At The Drive-In, and AVICII. You could pretty much complete a musical bucket list with that weekend.

Every genre was on display on the fields of Indio, including electronic, few seem to be more on target as Swedish House Mafia are at the moment.

We Were Promised Jetpacks perform ‘Thunder and Lightning’ to a pretty timid crowd.

Noel Gallagher may not be touring with Oasis, but he and his band the High Flying Birds do have a strong disc they’re supporting.

M83. You don’t need to say much more than that do you?

The Black Keys may be the best rock band on the planet right now, making music that is appreciated by the masses and the critics. Check out this clip of ‘I Got Mine’.

Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre had a ton of guest rappers join them, Wiz Khalifa seemed to fit the festival bill the best with his sing along ‘Young, Wild and Free’

And…of course, the hologram.

The argument can also be made that advertisers cover your city with messages making you feel small, ugly, poor, and worthless, unless you purchase their products. Why not fill the sides of buildings, billboards, and public places/property with street art. That seems to be the mission of Banksy, a semi-anonymous street artist. He’s trotted the globe, leaving his mark in Los Angeles, Boston, Toronto, London, even the wall that stands between Palestine and Israel. He encourages people to print out his images and use them however they like for personal gain, he’s an artist that encourages the artistic expression of his fans, even if it involves his work. Celebrities have purchased his work in the five and six figures. His art has been known to be auctioned off by art houses, but leaving the removal of it up to the winning bidder.

If you’ve never heard of him, he’s worth reading up on, here’s a look at some of my favourite Banksy pieces.

First there was the pretty sweet trailer for the remake of the Arnold Schwarzenegger classic, ‘Total Recall’ .  This one features Colin Farrell, a bleach blond John Cho (Harold and Kumar), Jessica Biel, and Kate Beckinsale. It also stars Breaking Bad’s Bryan Cranston. Pretty bad ass cast, no word on if it stars a three boob Martian. Check out the trailer below.

If your Ahnold fix hasn’t been met with the Total Recall make, a comedy classic, and guy film favourite Twins is getting a sequel, at least that’s the very viable rumour. The clincher? It would star Arnie, Danny DeVito, and be directed by Ivan Reitman. If you don’t remember Twins, check out the trailer below, and a pretty solidly funny interview of DeVito talking about it.

It doesn’t end there! It gets better! One of the movies that produces one liners that 70% of the time do the trick every time is getting a sequel. It’s announcement came in the middle of Conan O’Briens late night talk show, and was made by its star, Ron Burgundy. One, can only hope Steve Carell, Paul Rudd, Chistina Applegate, and David Koecher come back.

It doesn’t end with every fans favourite news room. Why? Well, maybe one of the most beloved comedies of all time is getting a sequel. A real one. Dumb and Dumber gets referenced in 1 of 8 mens conversations (made up stat), the ‘prequel’ starring two guys, not named Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels, and directed by a guy whose last name is not Farrelly. Well, the sequel will bring back Jim and Jeff as Lloyd and Harry. The Farrelly Brothers will be back to direct, and they’re set to start shooting in September.

This one is the big enchilada, you just pray, and pray that it doesn’t suck.

What can be said, that hasn’t already been said? It was a hit of the dirtiest kind, and,it was predatory. The NHL and disciplinarian Brendan Shanahan can’t call it predatory because it’s tough to string a hit from Daniel Sedin on Keith to this hit in particular. To add to that, Keith acted as if he didn’t notice the hit he received from Daniel Sedin, which is obviously not true – the guy is known for being slippery than a bar of jail house soap. You’d think the fact of the puck being nowhere close, and Keith going directly for Sedin’s head would be predatory enough. But, like an old Canuck once said, ‘It is what it is’.

Shanahan has handed down a five game ban to Duncan Keith, a suspension that will cost Keith $149,688. The suspension is immediately being compared to the Shane Doan hit, and the Aaron Rome hit from last years playoffs.

Check those out here.

Rome was suspended for 4 games. In the Stanley Cup Finals.

Of course, optics play a huge role here, and it’s tough to compare one hit to another, because we’re not actually receiving or throwing them. The look or ‘non look’ on Horton’s face was likely a huge factor, because, you haven’t seen dead eyes like that since Paul Kariya took a hit from Scott Stevens.

How do the two cities feel about the suspension?

Well, Chicago will say that Keith is missing critical games for playoff positioning, while Canuck fans will say that he’s getting rested for the playoffs. Sean O’Donnell is slate to take his place starting against the Nashville Predators.

Check out these two pieces from the Chicago Tribune, the Chicago Sun-Times, and the Vancouver Province.
