Beastie Boys’ Star-Studded ‘Fight For Your Right Revisited’ Released

Posted by @coltondaniel on April 23rd, 2011

The legendary Beastie Boys fought for their right to party nearly thirty years ago, yesterday they revisited their roots with more cameos than a season of “Entourage” would supply.

Short snippets of the video have been circulating around on TV and online, and the short-film does not disappoint. Featuring a battle-royale of sorts between the 1986 Beasties (Danny McBridge, Seth Rogan and Elijah Wood) dueling the future Beasties (John C. Reilly, Jack Black and Will Ferrell) and their acid-tripping rampage. Along the way, run in’s with various famous faces: Stanley Tucci, Jason Schwartzman, Susan Sarandon, Ted Danson, Mary Steenburgen, Jason Bateman, Amy Poehler, David Cross, Kirsten Dunst, Steve Buscemi, Rashida Jones, Rainn Wilson, Maya Rudolph and Chloe Sevigny. Oh yes, Orlando Bloom drops in for the shenanigans also.

Adam Yauch wrote and directed the footage of the trio’s short film and music video, in connection with his indie film company Oscilloscope Laboratories.

“Normally the song is king and the footage has to kind of bow down to it. With this I flipped it,” he said, explaining how he used sound effects and toyed with the track’s tempo to fit the narrative, such as it is.

The group’s ninth album, “Hot Sauce Committee Part Two,” is due May 3.

Beastie Boys Preview Star Studded Music Video

Posted by @coltondaniel on April 7th, 2011

The legendary Beastie Boys have a new album “Hot Sauce Committee Pt 2″ coming out May 3rd, a new single and now a preview for the short film Fight for Your Right Revisited has hit the interweb.

Don’t like the Beasties? Well, check out the casting call: Elijah Wood, Will Ferrell, Danny McBride, John C. Reilly, Seth Rogen, Jack Black, Susan Sarandon, Stanley Tucci, Orlando Bloom, Kirsten Dunst, David Cross, Will Arnett, Amy Poehler, Jason Schwartzman, Adam Scott, Rainn Wilson, Steve Buscemi, Chloë Sevigny, Alicia Silverstone, Martin Starr, Ted Danson, Rashida Jones, R.E.M.’s Mike Mills, Ad-Rock, Mike D, and MCA.

The film premiered at Sundance Film Festival last month and received a mix of reviews. In the video, we find the Beastie Boys (Elijah Wood, Seth Rogan, Danny McBride)  in 1986 the day after the legendary “Fight for Your Right (To Party)” video took place. It is rumoured to be a long-running Saturday Night Live skit from there on out.

Judging by the preview, it appears to be some battle royale between past and present versions of the Beastie Boys. At the same time, it is between comedy of today versus yesterday. Some fascinating double-entendre, I do say.

Ch-ch-check it out!

Amy Poehler to Speak at this Year’s Harvard Commencement Ceremony

Posted by Elisheva Baer on April 6th, 2011

Drumroll please! And this year’s guest speaker is….Amy Poehler?!

The Harvard Crimson announced a couple days ago that Amy Poehler has been elected as Class Day Speaker by the Harvard University class of 2011 to speak at this May’s Commencement ceremony. Poehler is to follow in the footsteps of last year’s speaker, veteran reporter Christiane Amanpour.

“We wanted someone people could recognize, who could give a funny and engaging speech,” Senior Class Marshall Toby Stein told the Harvard Gazette. “During her time on SNL, Amy was a part of our growing up, and there’s no doubt she’s pretty hilarious.”

The Boston-native will headline the days’ speeches, followed by the traditional Ivy and Harvard orations, as well as remarks from Dean of the College Evelynn M. Hammonds.

No doubt, this will be the greatest commencement speech ever given – with her acting background (“Saturday Night Live”, “Parks and Recreation”), Poehler’s sure to be a show stopper! And we agree with Perez Hilton – we hope it’s put up on YouTube after so we can join in the laughs!
