I haven’t told every single soul that I am a tracuer, so I am coming out of the closet today to tell you I am. What is a tracuer? It is a practitioner of parkour or in Trashwire.com terms, it is the opening scene in Casino Royale and the star in the french action movie District B13.

If you want more information on parkour you can visit www.americanparkour.com or even www.texasparkour.com.

I was recently featured in this video shot by the Houston Chronicle and it’s accompanying article http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/headline/features/6463462.html

That’s me being a media whore!

There is no denying that trashwire.com is a huge fanboy/girl of Rogen. Well, now we can see how the magic happened when Rogen performs at the Comedy Gym at Vancouver, Canada in 1996.

So Megan McCain is like a passover gift, “relevant only during cycles of 8 days” and today in particular, she manages to post her entire *cough* career through twitter in response to a recent co-worker comment. What we have learned is that she curses, she is ignorant and doesn’t realize the silver spoon in her mouth, and she doesn’t proofread 140 characters or less. Here is a small piece of her tirade.

You can read the rest on Gawker.com

Other writers agree McCain can’t cut it as a writer.

Also, I don’t think flower shop experience can exactly parlay into an internship with Saturday Night Live …

Also, if the use of “an assistant to a photographer and worked for Newsweek” is for the sole purpose of coordinating two different clauses, its not working since I don’t know if the photographer worked for Newsweek as well.

Just because you don’t use a series comma doesn’t mean your a journalist!

Last time we read Megan McCain and Tila have an engaging conversation. Today we found a bf (Bitch-fit from White Chicks) between Lady Sovereign and Perez Hilton. Lady Sovereign totally bailed on Perez’s party in Austin. Her excuse, which he publicized on his blog, was that she had partied to hard. In the words of late Steve Irwin, Crickey, lets see what these animals are up to:

This bitch-fit seriously just ended. It ended with Lady Sovereign posting her picture. Oh Snap! Diss. We all know Perez is fuming pink mad!

This film that is subtitled the “Self-Inflicted Comedy” showcases a large group of experienced and inexperienced talent. Archie (Gabriel Sunday) hates his life because he feels nothing. Archie is a movie fiend that records everything in his meaningless life. After he is asked what his class project would be for his film class he says that he wants to kill himself on camera. After he says this in class and gets arrested, he systematically becomes the popular weird kid. Students come up to Archie just to tell him he’s sick, he’s cool, he’s right.

The student he least expects to talk to him is perfect girl, Sierra (Brooke Nevin), who wants to film Archie’s response to the question, “Why does he want to kill himself on tape?” After discovering why, the story follows a suicide pact between Sierra and Archie. Archie is developed as a character from scene one because he is filming himself impersonating famous quotes from movies.

This is not a pro-suicide film. Rather, it’s an anti-suicide movie that follows an unraveling suicide pact and makes light of its effects. With added layers animation in most of the dialogue was taken to a heightened level that is reminiscent of A Scanner Darkly. At times the film feels chaotic and all over the place, but it actually follows a typical plot which director David Lee Miller breaks into three acts. Guest stars include David Carradine as death/a spirit, shaman or poet of sorts and Joe Mantenga as an Indian Psychologist treating Archie.

Sunday steals this movie with his acting and filming because this film contains the meta-film that Archie is making with Sierra. His filming is actually not bad. It’s an enjoyable drama that plays with your mind before you know what is ever going to happen. With every person from creation to production, this movie hardly has any wrong moves.

Due to twessages coming in from every direction I will do my best to find the most tweetarded conversations taking place in the celebrity tweets.

Welcome to the most Tweetarded convo ever between Tila Tequila and Megan McCain?

Ummm I thought your dad hated the gays, bisexuals, and transgendered people of the world. How would conservative paapaa feel you watching A Shot at Love?

And very Asian Tila, stop trying to brand yourself on alcohol Hispanic people made its kind of annoying. We gave you rice which is a bigger deal/win than what you think.

Most people assume that because they cannot afford a music badge/wristband for SXSW Music shows all hope is lost. Well here’s a tidbit for ya, the free parties around Austin, Texas going on during SXSW showcases some of the best bands that aren’t even signed. A past non-SXSW alumnus includes The Decemberists and some major record label artists play free shows around town.

Regardless, these free shows are streaming now!!! Click on the links to check out the free concerts and shows going on around the town.

A definite and important decision that the people that run the SXSW Festival(s) was made for 2009. This year for the first time Film + Interactive was linked for specific panels and areas of the convention. This was absolutely a smart move on their part because film is not so different from Interactive because both involve technical detail that is viewed on a screen, a controller and some buttons set them apart.

Some of the best linked panels included:

Robert Rodriguez and Henry Selick

Comedy on TV and the Web with Sean Mills (The Onion), B.J. Novak (The Office), Keith Richman (Break.com), Meredith Scardino (Cobert Report), Ricky Van Veen, moderator (CollegeHumor.com)

Suprisingly Meredith was one of the funniest panelist and its very obvious why.

Screenburn Arcade

Finally after all of the stress of waiting in between films and panels (as if everyone was back in college) we are all allowed to commune at the Screenburn Arcade. One of the games I thought I would not be anticipated to play for 2009 was Bionic Commando. After watching everyone play I really believe this game could be the next big hit. It’s like Halo but you get to use a zip line and zip line your enemies in the face; you even jump off buildings like a beautiful bird. The game looks done; but who knows, I hope they don’t mess it up.

This years Film Festival was bigger than ever. Although it isn’t officially over, there are still tons of movies to see. Some of which have won an award at this year’s film festival. Throughout the rest of the week badge holders can still see some of the movies at any of the theaters showcasing them. Still, the madness will enrage because the Music portion of the festival started yesterday and will continue until Sunday.

Even though there are tons of official SXSW parties there are even more unofficial SXSW music parties. One band that I have heard in Austin that deserves some attention is this band from Oz called Porcelain. Just walking around I heard sick vocals and decided to watch their show; it was amazing.
