Andy Kaufman, Jerry Lawler, and David Letterman

Doesn’t this sound familiar? Andy Kaufman pranks his way up Hollywood as an entertainer. He’s taken so far that some people don’t even know if he was faking a joke or going for real. Up to the point of his death. And to some conspiracy theorists, Kaufman still is alive. Well, Jim Carrey played Kaufman in the 1999 Man on the Moon. One of his pranks, Kaufman had wrestled Jerry Lawler and fell into a neck brace.

Happy Friday and long weekend!

TGIF! The long weekend has arrived! That means one extra day of awesomeness on Sunday to be stupid… or smart! That also means cottaging, catching up on sleep, working on your deadlines, or heading out into the wilderness and rocking some 4×4 wheeling and camping at the same time!

We strapped up, headed out and dove in. What are you doing this long weekend? Share some of your footage with […]

The much anticipated release of my childhood book, November 1st couldn’t come faster. It’s like Christmas to me. And a perfect birthday gift (for those who know me *wink wink nudge nudge*) The question begs, as of all books that become movies, will the movie hold up to the books reputation? Well, Gavin Hood isn’t unfamiliar in Toronto’s film scene as his film Tsotsi was Toronto’s Film Festival People’s Choice Award […]
