Image credit: ResilientPLANET Yesterday I posted about the new film from the creators of the End of Suburbia .

Pooljumpers – Wet, Wild, and Wonderful Mockumentary

Posted on May 13, 2010 by Benny Hollywood

Filed under: Humor , Videos Twee documentaries about boys doing sporty boy things have been on the cultural horizon for years. From moments in skating and skiing to moments in camping and surfing, the feel-good docs are perfectly good fodder for parody, which is where Pooljumpers comes in. A trailer for the fake documentary follows a group of rag-tag boys whose discovery of entering pools by way of not just jumping strikes a chord or, rather, a funny bone in all of us. Lives are shared, bonds are broken and splashes are messy. Plus, “Reverse Jaws ,” hehe. Share via:// Joe Mande Continue reading →

Sarah Palin to Produce Alaska Documentary

Posted on March 4, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

The other night, Jay Leno asked Sarah Palin if she had any future TV plans, and she joked that she heard his position opens up every once in awhile. Well it turns out she already has a TV plan of sorts. The former Alaska Governor and Survivor creator Mark Burnett are shopping a new docudrama. Seriously. The TV project features a “planet-Earth-type look” at her home state of Alaska. We have no idea what that means, but it sounds … cool? We’ll assume it refers to the acclaimed Discovery Channel series Planet Earth . Which has sort of already done what they’re describing if so. Anyway. So much Sarah Palin on TV. Not enough hours in the day. Palin and Burnett had a meeting with Fox honchos yesterday, and are talking with ABC and CBS today and NBC Universal tomorrow. So this is legit. Other documentaries we’d love to see from Sarah Palin: The Height of Hypocrisy : A Shameless Attempt to Cash in Meghan Stapleton’s Guide to Being a Terrible Publicist A Hockey Mom’s Guide to Strange Baby Names
