FRANKS'S CAFE
My bezzy mate Frank has opened a cafe on top of a car park in Peckham. Check out the menu here.
It runs until the 30th September, has good eats, and the best views over London I've ever seen:
THE OLD NEW YORK
Jools and the Tube crew, cruise the streets of the old NYC visiting seminal night-spots and chatting it up with movers and shakers, like Arthur Baker.

RIP TORN VS NORMAN MAILER
Long story behind this semi-real fight scene, read the blurb alongside the video on its youtube page. It is quite painful to watch at times, Rip Torn's face right at the end is reminiscent of his incredible role in Freddy Got Fingered.
THE KEEP
Good Summary:
"It is all rather tasteless, and Michael Mann makes big demands of his audience by expecting them to sympathize with members of the SS, while the Tangerine Dream soundtrack jars."
A BREAK FROM VIDEOS
"The Border Film Project"
I know we are called Video thunder and post humorous videos e.t.c., but I thought this photography project looked so interesting I had to make a post about it.
"To recruit migrant photographers, we visited migrant shelters and other humanitarian organizations on the Mexican side of the border. In the busiest areas, these shelters housed dozens of migrants every night, providing them dinner, a place to sleep, and sometimes clothes and medicine for the journey. We met the migrants in groups and told them about the project. Since many had never used cameras before, we also became impromptu photography teachers—pointing out the flash and film wheel and teaching them how to aim through the viewfinder. In addition, we showed them what U.S. mailboxes looked like so they would know how to return the cameras to us. Most migrants seemed eager to participate. Many expressed a profound desire to show American citizens what they had to endure to arrive in the United States."

IMPOTENCE CURED FROM OUR LOVE OF CHEESES
Random bursts of classical music, sex talk on the phone, shouting sexual demands down the phone and people actually following them, finished off with dancing. Thank you Lord Cheeses!

JACO PASTORIUS REALLY LIKED TAKING HEROIN
And the following video is proof. He listens to his own music on a reel to reel and dances around like a loon, while that poor guy tries to interview him.

"Oh no, the bridge has gone! Old Red can't carry on."
This advert is being run on TV again. I thought i was going a bit mad when it came on this afternoon. Such a flashback to childhood. I always got a bit upset at poor old Red falling down the canyon. Spoiled dinners forever!!

GROOVIN' GARY/ORKLY KID/BEAVER TRILOGY
1979
1981
1985
Blurbenstien.
"The Beaver Trilogy combines three separate vignettes that were filmed at different times, in 1979, 1981, and 1985. The first, entitled The Beaver Kid, is a short documentary about the exploits of "Groovin' Gary", a performer that filmmaker Harris happened upon while filming for a Salt Lake City, Utah news station. Harris was testing out a color videocamera that the station had just acquired in the parking lot of his workplace when he stumbled upon Gary taking photographs of their news helicopter. Gary immediately launched into a number of celebrity impressions, including John Wayne and Sylvester Stallone. Although Gary is seemingly very personable and humble, he also alludes to intense needs for fame, recognition and mass approval.
Several weeks after they first met, Harris traveled to the small town of Beaver, Utah and filmed Gary, a rabid Olivia Newton-John obsessive, as he staged a talent show that featured Gary dressed in full drag singing the Newton-John song "Please Don't Keep Me Waiting". Gary refers to his onstage alter-ego as "Olivia Newton-Don".
The second installment, called The Beaver Kid 2 features Sean Penn as "Groovin' Larry" Huff in a dramatic interpretation of the original documentary. It incorporated some scenes from the original documentary. The Beaver Kid 2 was shot on a budget of $100.
The trilogy is completed with The Orkly Kid, in which Crispin Glover reprises Penn's role, this time referring to his onstage persona as "Oliva Neutron Bomb". The Orkly Kid was shot in color film, is considerably longer in length and more professional-looking than the first two acts, and also features a number of new supporting characters and plot twists."

Top nice, Videothunder affiliates.
SWEEEEEDEN LOOOONDON.
GIORGIO = MORODER
I know this video has likely been blogged to disaster everywhere, but it really is just tooooo good to not have another outing. What a wonderful man.
'TO CATH A PREDATOR'S CHRIS HANSEN SHARES HIS PICK UP LINES
My hard drive has quacked out.
This means that I have lost all of my music and everything from the past year and a half.
More importantly it means I will be posting CONSIDERABLY less over the next 1 day.
BAD LIEUTENANT REMAKE - ANOTHER WICKER MAN?
Werner Herzog is directing it apparently, but I can forgive him because he's completely bonkers. Werner said he'd never heard of Abel Ferrera in his entire life; which is probably only a good thing because Abel makes tough-guy films like King of New York, and wants Werner's spleen on a plate for remaking his film.
There are direct similarities between the Lieutenant/Wicker remakes, the fragmented shit pieces of dialogue and general poor quality of Cage's acting create a really strange atmosphere, as though everyone on the set is on the verge of bursting out laughing. 0:55 seconds in is one of those moments.
You could cut a few scenes from this in, and ou wouldn't know the difference:

MUGGSY!
Muggsy Bogues was 5"3. Most kids I knew when I was young, thought he was called Bugsy Mogues and that he was 4"10, could slam dunk over Patrick Ewing and do flips in the air.

MORE WESTWOOD TWITTER
I realise it's more of the same, but his life is too weird not to show:
"Just ripped 107Club in Crawley - the invasion continues. We flattened that building - all that remains is the smokin rubble."
"Ladies recognise that Westwood gave you the best night of your life. And when you wake up all busted realise that Westwood did that to you."
"Ciara asked me to take her shoppin today her favourite shop is Top Shop but I sugguested Primark. She hadn't heard of it but I'm tight."
"just brought Ciara 7 pairs of shoes, 10 dresses, 3 bags and matching accessories - spent £112 Is that enuff to guarantee a jump-off?"
"WE'RE IN A CAB - DOES ANYONE KNOW WHERE THE NEAREST MATALAN IS TO OXFORD CIRCIUS. AND WHAT IS GEORGE AND F&F SAYIN?"
He Is Also throwing out lots of horrible shiny trainers:
YOUR INTERNET COMPUTER FROM THE 1990'S
Looking back, it was such a depressing place. I'm glad the internet is now a wildly out of control 4Chan terror fest. Imagine what Videothunder would have looked like ten years ago....

GRANDAD CHIC IN 90'S RAP
You cannot fuck with shirts tucked into slacks/chinos:
Lopez with the intro, Pete Rock looks like he plays cards with old Jewish ladies and CL Smooth looks stupid and (I agree with Ace 6) is not very good.
