I know this is borderline abusing my privileges as the owner of this site. but i just re-subscribed to NetFlix after grabbing this PlayStation3, and I’m itching to put 10 solid movies that I can abuse on the MacBook and the new Vizio during my downtime.

If you’d be so kind, just leave suggestions and brief synopses of movies (if they aren’t typical joints that everybody and their grandma’s heard of). Everybody can add something to this list, so just throw the suggestions out there. Maybe we’ll have a nice little dialogue pertaining to movies and such. Ha. Thanks! and i like it all, so don’t think i won’t consider musicals, documentaries, foreign films. actually, fuck a foreign film. i have no time for subtitles.

Let the games begin. Oh, and those who don’t believe that The Great Progression is upon us, more sneak peaks:

Yeah. Like I said before, stay in the loop via Twitter, @TheGeePee and @DCtoBC.

Anyway, movies. Let’s get it.

Do you like Daft Punk? Do you have an hour of free time on your hands? Do you want to see the type of musical movie that every great musical group should try and make at some point in their career, using only their work to narrate an entire film?

If you’ve answered yes to all three of these questions, then the next power move is to press play on the bad boy below. Essentially, it’s an animated film using only Daft Punk songs to narrate the entire thing. It’s incredible how many emotions are conveyed with songs, and this is some pretty trill evidence that proves the statement in the first clause of this sentence to be correct.

Fast forward to 1 minute and 15 seconds deep, and enjoy.

If you want an HD quality version for your computer, holler at me, I’ve got it on deck.

Although I wasn’t in the business school at Boston College, I was a Communications major, and took enough marketing and advertising classes to consider myself well versed in a lot of that stuff. This movie is a comprehensive history of modern-age advertising, and speaks to the advertising gurus out there. Check the trailer below.

Talk about cutthroat! I’m still trying to get into that industry in some capacity, though. For the time being, Washingtonians such as myself are out of luck, because the independent film isn’t running anywhere around here for a minute. But if you are elsewhere, you may be able to catch it. Check the locations for screenings HERE.

i haven’t seen funny people yet, but i might need to go check it out. this man, comedian aziz ansari plays the vulgar and hilarious up and coming stand-up genius raaaaaaaandy (yup, with 8 a’s. no less, no more.) in the flick and from the looks of this 3 part docu-comedy, ansari is nice with it. not only does he have dances to go along with his jokes, he has a DJ on stage with him, dropping air horns and bombs after the big punch-line. check the series out, you wont be disappointed.

john hughes was incredibly inspirational in my life, and i didn’t even realize it until yesterday. i never knew the man made some of my favorite comedies ever, and it’s only right that i pay tribute in two ways.

the first thing i’ll do is throw you a HD (hella dope) quality version of my favorite hughes film, the breakfast club. not familiar with it? do some wikipedia research if you’re hesitant. if you trust me, then just know that it’s about a bunch of strangers that cross paths on one weekend afternoon in high school detention, and it’s ingenious in every way possible. enjoy.

the second thing i want to do is direct you to the most solid imeem playlist ever. it’s a compilation of songs from soundtracks of his movies. the 80’s and 90’s had some awesome soundtracks. in fact, back then, the soundtracks had the capability of going gold or platinum, and people took them seriously as opposed to you would a transformers soundtrack found in the checkout aisle in walmart. for the jams (a streaming playlist, not a download), click here.

R.I.P.

it’s back. the trillest afrobeat mixtape series ever, dropping just in time for the coinciding afrobeat party hosted by the sexy ass ladies of LunchBox Theory on U street tomorrow, friday july 31st. DJ underdog still hittin’ ‘em with that live mix – no serato either, straight vinyl baby! wowzers.

not sure about what afrobeat is? well, here’s a definition:

Afrobeat is a combination of Yoruba music, jazz, highlife, and funk rhythms, fused with percussion and vocal styles, popularized in Africa in the 1970s. Its main creator was the Nigerian multi-instrumentalist and bandleader Fela Kuti who used it to revolutionise musical structure as well as the political context in his native Nigeria. It was Kuti who coined the term “afrobeat” upon his return from a U.S. tour with his group Nigeria 70 (formerly Koola Lobitos).

exactly. this is truly some special music, and i implore everybody to get on it, because it’s a pretty trill genre. we posted the first mixtape a few weeks ago; grab it HERE.

phenomenal documentary about two kids on the west side of chicago and their lives that revolve entirely around basketball. you’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll do it all when you watch this. it’s a gem that more people should see. anybody who ever played a sport will love it. i don’t think anybody doesn’t like this movie. real talk. so if you can only watch one of these movies, i’d go with this.

if you ever read the first DCtoBC.com, before it got destroyed by the bastards from godaddy.com, you’ll remember the post i did about the cult classic movie, “the warriors.” i won’t rehash that, though. i need you to just throw that in the netflix queue, and enjoy a classic. one of the most intense scenes in any movie ever created is in this movie, and i’ve decided to share it with you. brace yourself.

wow. well, how many of you DC heads knew that the scene above spawned this go-go classic?

yerp. and basically, i need this song in my life. can you help me, gogo heads?

oh my god. pixar can do no wrong.
