SCREENING OF "AWESOME; I FUCKIN’ SHOT THAT!" ONE NIGHT ONLY

Hello Fellow Humans,

I am writing to you with fantastic news!

There is going to be a special SNEAK PREVIEW screening night of "Awesome; I Fuckin' Shot That!" on March 23rd at a whole plethora of theaters. You can check out this site to see if it will be at a theater in your area:

http://bigscreenconcerts.com/subpage/index.asp?EventID=573

The catch is that it’s for ONE-NIGHT-ONLY. But the special March 23rd screenings will premiere:

"A Day In The Life Of Nathanial Hörnblowér"

a half an hour of additional one-night-only exclusive content that won’t be in the regular release of the film… This is your chance to peek into the dark strange world of one of the most elusive and controversial men of our time!

The actual release of the film will be on March 31st. But when it is released, it will be at fewer cities than are being hit with this one-night-only extravaganza on the 23rd.

So if you want to see this exceptional film in the theaters (which personally I would recommend, as the surround sound mix is completely bonkers, not to mention that it looks pulchritudinous on the big screen…) then make sure that the actual release is coming out in your city. And/or if you want to see the bonus Hörnblowér footage, the one night March 23rd melee will be in over 150 theaters around the country. Hope that all made sense. If not stop by the BeastieBoys.com Message Boards and join in on the chit-chat.

or check out the new site for the film at: http://www.awesomeishotthat.com/

Watch the Awesome; I Fuckin' Shot That! trailer

Alright, just wanted to tell you all, so that later you can’t say "but why didn’t they tell us!!!???!!??!?!"

Thank you for you unbridled intrigue,

I hope Hörnblowér is boing to be on there, he has to that would be great. Especially since we havent heard from him in a while.

[paulb]

shit, sounds like its gonna be fun. Too bad this 1 day screening aint hitting Canada.

[DandyFop]

I am SO mad...it's on a Thursday, and I have night class Thursday. I can't miss it because I've already missed it three times and I will go down a whole grade if I do.

DAMMIT

[miss soul fire]

I'm so excited about this! I can hardly wait!

And I didn't add anything to this thread.:D:p

[Space]

the morning show on 101x in austin is going to interview him during sxsw.

[MilburnDrysdale]

How serious are they about the "Day in the Life" movie not being seen again? Is it for sure not going to be on the dvd? If so, it sucks. Don't the fans outside the U.S. and Canada deserve to see it?

I hope an unethical Oscilloscope employee makes a secret copy of it or a thoughtful fan bootlegs it on March 23.

yeah, what about us

[Documad]

Oh, they HAVE to put it on the DVD. They're so good with the extras. They must mean that it won't be in the regular theatrical release on 3/31 in NYC and LA.

A Beastie short from 'Hörnblowér'


By Chris Lee, Special to The Times

AS far as self-referential, meta-narrative movie comedies go, "Being John Malkovich" has nothing on director Nathanial Hörnblowér's short, "A Day in the Life of Nathanial Hörnblowér." For starters, the eccentric Swiss auteur is actually an alias of Beastie Boy Adam Yauch.

Over the years, the rapper has made a po-faced running joke out of appearing as Hörnblowér in the group's videos (he's directed 18 of them), on TV (he stormed the stage at 1994's MTV Video Music Awards after the Beastie Boys' "Sabotage" lost for best video) and in print — Hörnblowér lambasted the New York Times in January after a reviewer dissed his video for "Ch-Check It Out."


"The first time [the pseudonym] appeared was on the 'Paul's Boutique' record cover," the soft-spoken Yauch said between sips of seltzer at the Sunset Marquis Hotel this week. "At the time, I had never seen a video directed by people in the band. It seemed incestuous, just wrong. So I threw Hörnblowér in there."

For "A Day in the Life," however, "Arrested Development's" David Cross plays the excitable fauxteur as a bearded weirdo partial to lederhosen, yodeling and cross-country skiing through Manhattan (nevermind that there's no snow on the ground). He loses a chess match to a dog, harangues passersby in a quasi-Germanic accent that would make Col. Klink wince and wanders the streets of Soho guzzling from a wineskin.

"He's such an amazing character, especially the way that David plays him," says Yauch, better known by his nom de rap, MCA. "I was thinking it would be really funny to do a whole movie based on that."

The 30-minute immutably Beastie short premieres in theaters across the country on Thursday in a one-night-only event coordinated by THINKFilm and National CineMedia (details are at www.awesomeishotthat.com/march23/). But most viewers won't see "A Day in the Life" until it arrives with the DVD for "Awesome; I … Shot That," the group's DIY rockumentary that hits theaters March 31.

In "Awesome," 50 amateur cinematographers wielding Hi-8 video cameras recorded the action on-stage and behind the scenes at the group's 2004 Madison Square Garden appearance, making for a kaleidoscopic fan's-eye view of their boisterous stage act.

Hörnblowér, of course, is listed as director and producer.

But Yauch's fictional alter ego won't factor into his planned feature debut, a coming-of-age drama he is working on about the style wars and territorial disputes of a group of New York graffiti writers in the early 1980s.

"I adopted Nathanial Hörnblowér to do Beastie Boys stuff," says Yauch. "I feel like if I'm doing something outside the scope of that, it makes sense to put my name on it. It's a role that I enjoy."

I know, I had to read that twice because I didn't really understand or believe it the first time. Thanks for posting the article YoungRemy, I didn't really get what this was all about.

Thanks

[laurie_hammy]

Ok ok. So this Day In The Life thing will be shown only on the 23rd of march screenings. But not when its at the movies BUT WILL be on the DVD right ?

[vickista]

yeah, they'd have to put it on the dvd, coz not everyone can go see it on the 23rd or wen it comes out proper coz sum of us live on a damn icilated island called australia that never gets special events like AIFST.

hahaha

[Rich Cheney]

(n) (n) (n) Don't believe the hype.

[Justin]

i thought it was stupid, but when i say stupid i mean stupid FRESH(y)

[Justin]

I think it would have been funnier though if yauch 'played' hornblower. He seems to know him pretty well...

[Nomen Nescio]

It was just meh for me but my friends thought it was funny. The concert was noice though!

[Justin]

I was wanting the dog to turn over the chest board on hornblower and start barking at him in a very anguish manner

[laurie_hammy]

i thought it was stupid, but when i say stupid i mean stupid FRESH(y)

haha nice

[POKERTRON]

HORNBLOWER HAS A "THING" FOR MIKE D.!!!!!

[Jmoney77]

Shit yea!

[Travis Bickle]

I was wanting the dog to turn over the chest board on hornblower and start barking at him in a very anguish manner

That would have been even more awesome. Especially since the dog got up and left right after he won anyway.

[Weezman]

First i was upset, now im just confused?!?

- Adrock :p

[enree erzweglle]

First i was upset, now im just confused?!?

- Adrock :pI laughed when Yauch started laughing over Hornblower.

Also, the conversation Hornblower had with the dog and as the leprechaun: (y)

The skis, the comment about how as a Swiss citizen, he has the right to inspect chocolate wherever...that's just great.

When he was drunk-walking, I was thinking, I totally would stop and talk with him even if I didn't know that he was Hornblower. I would want to get to know that guy if maybe just for a couple of minutes. But most people walking by him--man, they didn't even double-take and that to me was an added funny bit because it seemed so NYC. :D

[YoungRemy]

so can anyone confirm that was Rufus the dog?

[enree erzweglle]

I wondered the same thing. That dog was gorgeous and gentle looking. So unfair of Hornblower to have imposed that five-move penalty.

[Documad]

Rufus is dead. It doesn't look like Rufus.

I'm not a freak. I know this because of the commentary on the Criterion DVD. Maybe I've listened to it a dozen times since it came out. You can't help but absorb a fact or two, okay?

oui, Zut Alors!

[Shadbells]

My favorite scene was when he played Chess with the dog. I actually really liked the film, it's just the unsteadiness made me a bit sick. It was still pretty funny and interesting, I liked it.

[Chicka B]

Alright, I came in the theater a little late because my dad was gone and we were in the mall and he had the tickets, but when I was going in the movie all I heard was yodeling and I's like "WHAT!?" I don't think I missed much though. Anyway, I really thought it was hilarious, but it's really easy to make me laugh. I don't know why, but I just busted out laughing when David Cross erm...Nathaniel Hornblower was waiting for something and was like "I will squat" and then he squated and did some weird dance move thing. I was all like "PFFFFWAHAHA!!" and my friend's like "haha Michelle! :p " I was still giggling even 3 minutes later, people probably thought I was crazy. And I loved the little conversation the 2 Adams and Nathaniel had, that was really funny. Adam's just like whatever, and Yauch's trying to keep from laughing. Nathaniel Hornblower is so cute, with his stupidity and stuff, yet he's a fucking GENIUS! I also liked the chess playing with that dog, the chocolate testing, drunken Nathaniel harrassing the people of NYC, all the things mentioned already. It was a light humor, but I was smiling the whole time. I donno, my friend probably thought it was weird but she don't know what it was about. :D

[kleptomaniac]

i thought nathanial was hilarious! :D
(bonus: got to see yauch with the beard again)

although i was itchin' to see the concert, the "pre-movie" was a good laugh. when the credits started, i told my friend "hmm movie's over. let's go." so she looks at me kinda funny and i'm just sitting there, smiling :)

[mr. roper]

There's going to be a buttload of new members/guests now

WELCOME!!!


cj hoods not new...hes been around since the beastielist days i think.

[Laver1969]

so can anyone confirm that was Rufus the dog?

I just watched the band's commentary on Sure Shots...and the dog at the beginning is Rufus. :D

[Documad]

Okay, I am going to embarrass myself further.

Rufus is in the Sure Shots video. Rufus is a different breed of dog. Rufus is dead. I listed the wrong DVD. It's in Mike's commentary in Spike Jones DVD. He says "Rufus, R.I.P."

The dog in the movie could also be a Rufus, I suppose. I had four consecutive hamsters named April.

[Laver1969]

I had four consecutive hamsters named April.

^Which Beastie videos were they in? :p

[QueenAdrock]

"So I just read your book...it had a little bit of anti-Semitism in it, which frankly I enjoyed."

I've been saying that all week. :D

[Documad]

^^ Yes, QA, that was a great quote. :)



^Which Beastie videos were they in? :p
Smart ass. :rolleyes:

I'm just leaving open the possibility that Mike named two different dogs "Rufus." I'm deeply embarrassed that I know the name of any strange musician's past or present dog, so thanks for prolonging the agony. :p

No reason to be "deeply embarrassed" by it. The Beasties have talked about their pets, rhymed about them, used them in videos, which in turn they've talked about them again.

It's not like you're sneaking into their backyard to find out what kinds of pets they have because they never talk about pets...but you know they have them and you're damn well going to find out. :p

But...did you know Yauch chews Dentyne Ice?

[razmatazern]

But...did you know Yauch chews Dentyne Ice?

oh oh i did! my brother asked that question at sxsw for me...oh wait...that's supposed to be embarrassing, right? :o

[Laver1969]

oh oh i did! my brother asked that question at sxsw for me...oh wait...that's supposed to be embarrassing, right? :o

Hahaha....during a dry spell on the board quite a few months ago, there were a ton of threads like "what kind of deodorant to they use?"

All in good fun. :)

[Documad]

But...did you know Yauch chews Dentyne Ice?
Freak!

[Friis gal]

Then was it this (http://oscilloscope.net/images/picofday008.jpg) dog?

[kleptomaniac]

whoa i seriously need some dentyne ice now!

[DIGI]

I thought the featurette blew dick. It hurts me greatly to say that considering that the four involved are my idols. It could've been a lot funnier, but it did have funny bits, so maybe it didn't completely blow dick, I'd say it was the equivalent of a sloppy junior high handjob. Yeah.


Anyway, I also thought I saw enree at the theater, but I wasn't sure. Even if I was, I doubt I'd walk up and be all "Hey, I'm Randy, er DIGI, I mean bobbydigital. herherherher. Anyway, if it was her, she had her shit together.(y)

[Chicka B]

I've always chewed dentyne ice!!! :eek: :eek: :eek:

[korn_phr33k]

i hate to say it but i was kinda dissapointed in the thing. it started out pretty funny with the yodeling and the ski'ing across the street (the first time) but after that it was a little too dry, even for me, and dry comedy is my thing! i think it was a little slow too, all the scenes kinda stretched out for to long. i donno, maybe if i saw it again something would click.
