We had a great time hanging out with LA’s finest at our Revver Screening Series kick off party a few weeks ago, but location prevented us from meeting some of our more easterly pals. So we’re coming to NYC. Our own Kory Klem (Manager, Creator Development) will be in New York City tomorrow hosting the first Revver East Coast Meetup. The event will feature copious amounts of creators, videos, and booze, as well as a special live segment filmed by our friends from News For Blondes. It all goes down Thursday Nov. 1 at 6:30 pm at the For Your Imagination studio in Midtown Manhattan. Click here to RSVP to this event.
PS Andre from blond chili made this invitation video. He’s great.
The producers over at MTV are running out of locations for their flagship reality show, The Real World. They’ve gone overseas, they’ve doubled up on New York, they did a Las Vegas reunion mini-season. I think they were in Denver last year. Their other problem is with casting. The guys are getting buffer and dumber, the girls are getting skinnier and sluttier. Soon they will only be casting male and female strippers, and each episode will consist of cast members yelling at each other while having sex.
That’s why today’s announcement came as a complete shock. The next Real World season, which starts today and is being featured here, will take place in Amityville, New York, and the cast is composed of 6 former horror movie stars and Casey McKinnon. Which one is going to come out of the closet? Which one is the ignorant racist? Who’s going to wash the dishes? Who’s going to take on The Miz in the next Real World/Road Rules Challenge?
Rhett and Link have had their hands in a lot of projects, including hosting the CW’s Online Nation and more recently wrapping their own film Looking for Ms. Locklear, but they always stay true to two things: their southern roots and their podcast. For their Halloweenkast they argue over the merits of Halloween vs. The Harvest Season, do some alternative Ghostriding, and discuss that ubiquitous Halloween old wives’ tale of poisoned, razor-blade filled Halloween candy.
Mimi and Flo, who together wrote one of the greatest songs in the history of songs, are back with a video about one of the creepiest dudes in the history of dudes. But does “creepy” adequately describe this guy? Maybe not. But then again, it’s possible that he’s just using a human arm-shaped plumbing tool that I’m not familiar with, and that’s a rhubarb pie that’s plugging up the drain. Happy Halloween from Mimi and Flo.
In a series with endless potential for creepiness, this here is the creepiest yet. Cute little Natalie tracks down a serial killer and kills him in the back of his windowless molester van. I’m not exactly sure how she goes about it (no windows, remember), but is that the hilt of a sword sticking out of her pink backpack?
Next week: steak dinner with a child sex slavery entrepreneur.
A collection of videos about Ace Ventura colliding with various holidays could make for a good series. This here one about Halloween does a pretty good job of working in all the Ace-isms (talking butt-crack anyone?) without seeming forced, and I wouldn’t mind seeing Thanksgiving and Christmas/Hanukkah/Kwanza episodes (did I miss any?). It’s good to see Ace back after a long hiatus due to a general burn out on his whole schtick. Remember how played out “all righty then” and “do not go in there, wooo!” and all those other lines got? Prett much. Thanks RavenStake for bringing Mr. Ventura back.
Ramiro Olmos is counting down the days to Halloween with helpful tips about what not to do on October 31. Today’s is obvious: don’t pester carved pumpkins because they will come alive and eat you. But some of the others are less well known. Yesterday we learned not to fart in swamps because farts turn frogs into belligerent swamp monsters. The day before we were wisely told not to stick our hands down sink drains because if you do, a monster will pull you into the sewer (no word on what happens once you’re yanked into the plumbing—might be a friendly game of Chutes and Ladders, might not). Anyway, never say we didn’t warn you.
What?! Feist hasn’t always been a kaleidescopically colorful post-pop rush of sweet melody? Well I’ll be. Here she is as an agitated, mid-nineties alt-rocker — Doc Martens and head banging and probably a few hairy lady-pits are the ticket at this Placebo show. People do change — very interesting indeed.

Things on the internet happen fast. It’s already time to start making fun of those ubiquitous weekly web video round up shows. As such, Studio8 acts as judge, jury, executioner, and producer on this week’s featured clips.
Sperm banks, spa treatments, tattoo parlors–sounds like a midlife crisis to me. Natalie’s got a few years’ worth of living to do in a short amount of time. And in the middle of all this, she’s gotta whack a couple guys too.
