Is that website credible? I'm still having a hard time believing this. I call bullshit.

[Turchinator]

wait, Seth Rogen?

next thing you know they are going to tell me Stanley Tucci and Susan Sarandon are going to appear in this.


THAT would be unreal...

[Pootytang]

A tear just touched my cheek.

[spacemac9000]

is it just me or does it seem like they may have done some pauls boutique videos too ...

with a cast like johny ryall / vinncent van gogh /george drac etc ... ?

[JoLovesMCA]

I was wondering about the Johnny Ryall thing too!! If that is true this video will be more amazing than I thought. I want everybody to jump on the Beastie wagon this year. I want them to OWN IT!

[ericg]

it's going to be a good year!

[M|X|Y]

looks cool, but after the david cross one a few years ago im not getting my hopes up.. not that it wasnt kind of funny - but i thought david cross would be much funnier... it'll be fun... the cast list in HUGE and VERY IMPRESSIVE so more chance for funnies i suppose.. esp will farrell and john c reilly

about the paul's boutique thing... maybe related to the beastie boys 1 and 2 thing on the cast list? bboys 2 = post FFYR era? mebbe




but i am REALLY looking forward to the new music - - should be a great album of 2011!

[Darko]

Adam McKay tweeted that Will Ferrel and John C. Reilly are making a rap album as their Step Brothers characters and a big time producer was involved. Since we know they're in this video, perhaps the Beastie Boys are/will be involved?

[Kid Presentable]

I wouldn't mind hearing some new music, interested in what (if any) changes have been made to the tracks we've heard; the big group of movie stars is ancillary to me.

[JoLovesMCA]

Adam is attending and there will be a Q&A with him about the film and the new album!!!!!!!!

funny ass movie ...

[pesto pizza]

so the 20th jan is next week is anyone going to sundance film festival?,will someone be able to put the video on you tube next week?
someone must have some news at this point

[Sesamehole]

Be patient, they're keeping it under lock and key. No one's really seen it yet. I'm sure they'll be plenty of word on it once it's screened.

[JoLovesMCA]

I love the secrecy of it all, makes it even more EXCITING!!!!! Anyway I was on twitter and Bruce tweeted that he'd be rubbing elbows with Parker Posey at Sundance next week so I am assuming he'll be accompanying Adam at the screening. I simply can't wait for some coverage of this!

I wish I could have gone but the opening is closed to press. That sucks bad! There better be loads of lovely photos of ADAM released and some snippits of the film itleast to hold us all over. :cool:

The premiere is tomorrow night! Hopefully someone who comes on here will see it.

[Kid Presentable]

There must be somebody who thinks they belong there

Somebody on this board has an unhealthy addiction...

It's all the same.....only the names'll change!

[Sesamehole]

It's insanely hard to get tickets to see in demand films at Sundance so we'll see.

[Turchinator]

I HOPE NO BAD PEOPLE SHOW UP

[Deep_Sea_Rain]

It's all the same.....only the names'll change!

So true.....

[smith7800]

So, how long is this movie? Anybody know?

[JoLovesMCA]

It's run time is about 30 min.... I found this comment on twitter which I take with a grain of salt but it still wasn't nice! :mad: And I noticed he is a director himself. Maybe he's JEALOUS! How tacky of him.

The Beastie Boys short film by Adam Yauch sucked!!! Endless and ultimately pointless cameos in an extremely vapid overlong music vid spoof.

http://twitter.com/zaffi

Edit:

Another one....

Fight For Your Right Revisited was an extended Beastie Boys music video on acid ... literally. #Sundance

[smith7800]

Twitter is ridiculously hard to read and an affront to creativity. Hope some decent people saw the show.

[JoLovesMCA]

Check this out guys. This review gives some good details........... I am wondering what is up with their comments on Yauch. They talk as if he's lost his mind lol. :p

http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/movies/2011/01/sundance-2011-fight-for-your-right-revisited-brings-the-beastie-boy-revolution.html


But the short movie that a large contingent of the opening night showing had come specifically to see was "Fight for Your Right Revisited," directed by an individual named Adam Yauch. That would be the guy better known as MCA from the seminal hip-hop trio the Beastie Boys.

Yauch's aliases are myriad. He sometimes goes by an alter ego named Nathaniel Hornblower to direct short films and movies such as "Gunnin’ for That #1 Spot" and "Awesome I … Shot That." And at the indie movie-distribution company Oscilloscope Laboratories, he goes by the title chief executive.

Yauch directed the 20-minute movie as a kind of bizarro companion piece to the Beasties' smash 1986 frat boy anthem "(You Gotta) Fight For Your Right (To Party)." (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBShN8qT4lk) The film follows actors impersonating the group in period-perfect costumes in the denouement to the wild party (where pies are thrown, Spanish Fly is dumped in punch and a TV is famously sledge-hammered by then-Def Jam co-president Rick Rubin) depicted in the video.

But not just any actors. Seth Rogen portrays the Beasties' Michael "Mike D" Diamond, Elijah Wood embodies Adam "Ad-Rock" Horovitz and a trash-talking Danny McBride channels '80s-era Yauch via a four-day growth of beard and sleazy leather jacket.
The trio rob a bodega, spray beer all over passersby on a New York-esque (read: Hollywood movie studio back lot) street and generally raise havoc wherever they go, terrorizing a who's who of movie big shots in the process: Susan Sarandon, Stanley Tucci, Jason Schwartzman, Ted Danson and Will Forte among them -- but also Kirsten Dunst, Rashida Jones and Orlando Bloom (wearing a vintage Def Jam jacket in homage to the group's former record label). But the Beastie party mayhem doesn't stop there. The "Beasties" are picked up by "metal chicks," portrayed by Chloe Sevigny and Maya Rudolph, with whom they ingest whippets and drop liquid acid.

The whole, ahem, brouhaha culminates with a confrontation with none other than the "Beastie Boys from 25 years in the future": Will Ferrell (as Ad-Rock), John C. Reilly (as Mike D) and a petulant Jack Black as MCA. A wild break dance contest turns into an actual pissing contest that is broken up by a trio of New York cops –- the real Beastie Boys.
The thing is so meta-narrative, it's not even funny -- or it's especially funny, depending how you look at it. But the film represents a particularly surprising turn for Yauch, who long ago repudiated his party-hearty past to become a somewhat humorless adherent to Tibetan Buddhism.

As well, the short provides a primer for the forthcoming Beastie Boys album "Hot Sauce Committee Pt. 1," which was originally slated for release in 2009 but was shelved when Yauch was diagnosed with a tumor in his parotid gland. (Earlier this month, the rapper was deemed to be cancer-free.) New songs "Make Some Noise," "Say It" and a remix of "Too Many Rappers" (featuring Queens MC Nas) can be heard beneath the antic mayhem on-screen.
Question is, what next? The thing's not online yet. Does Yauch/Oscilloscope put it out on Vevo? As a stand alone DVD? Judging by the blogosphere interest surrounding the release of the above photo of Rogen, Wood and McBride in Beastie drag, there is a healthy interest in this project from the group's core constituency: sneakerheads and hipsters, backpack hip-hop aficionados and "Dad-rap" fans (like your humble correspondent).

[Turchinator]

looks like it's comparable to "A day In The Life of Hornblower"- one of Adam's pet pieces to hone his writing chops, that isn't universally received and more of a big inside joke.

here's more on the cameos

Seth Rogen, Danny McBride, and Elijah Wood: Playing Mike D, MCA, and the most adorable Ad-Rock ever, respectively, the trio stumbles out of the party at dawn, then goes on a slow-mo destruction spree, tossing beers at people and breaking into a bodega.
Susan Sarandon and Stanley Tucci: The parents whose absence allowed the party to happen in the first place. A suspicious Sarandon tries to blame the Beasties for the wanton destruction, using pie remnants as proof.
Rashida Jones: The first of the short's many, many two-second cameos, Jones walks down the street, is come on to by the Beasties, and says, "You wish, turkeys."
Will Arnett: If you're still in the throes of Arrested Development withdrawal, enjoy Arnett essentially playing G.O.B. here (expensive suit and indignant "Come on!" included).
Adam Scott: A cabdriver. This is the point in the short where the audience started murmuring the names of the celebrities they recognized, so there was a lot of, "That's Adam Scott!" (and just as much "Who's Adam Scott?").
Rainn Wilson: A churchgoer, he is offended by the Beasties' post-party antics.
Ted Danson: The maitre d' of a café that the Beasties terrorize, and between him and Steve Buscemi as the establishment's waiter, the recipient of most of the audience's "Hey, I recognize that famous celebrity who is making a two-second cameo" goodwill.
Amy Poehler, Roman Coppola, Shannyn Sossamon, Mary Steenburgen, Alicia Silverstone, Laura Dern, Milo Ventimiglia, and Jody Hill: All patrons of the café, Poehler and Steenburgen are lucky enough to get close-ups, but the rest of the actors were there to add barely glimpsed celebrity flavor.
Jason Schwartzman: Another café patron, dressed as Vincent Van Gogh, for some reason.
Chloë Sevigny, Kirsten Dunst, and Maya Rudolph: This is the point where the short started to weirdly resemble Madonna's video for "Music," as the Beasties clamber into town cars with three colorfully wigged metal chicks, who indulge in all manner of illegal activity (drugs, stabbing) with them. All it needed was a Sacha Baron Cohen cameo.
David Cross: Cross reprises his role (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2kdThLmS4Ig) as Nathaniel Hornblower, the pseudonymous alter ego of director Adam Yauch. Complicated? Perhaps, but you only get three seconds of him anyway.
Orlando Bloom: Credited as "Johnny Ryall," he would appear to be the character from the Beasties' track from Paul's Boutique, except that Orlando Bloom is way too pretty to play a homeless alcoholic.
Will Ferrell, John C. Reilly, and Jack Black: Arriving in a Delorean, the three play time-traveling versions of the older Beasties, with a cowbell-striking Ferrell as Ad-Rock, Reilly as Mike D, and Black as MCA (or, as the younger Beasties put it, "The ghosts of License to Ill future"). It isn't long before the Beasties of both generations get in a dance-off, which culminates in a literal, endless pissing contest.
Adam Horovitz, Mike D, Adam Yauch: Finally, the actual Beasties appear as cops, hauling the faux Beasties away in a paddy wagon driven by Martin Starr. Still, their most significant contribution to the short might be the new, thumping tracks on the soundtrack, including a remix of "Too Many Rappers," featuring Nas.

Well whatever happens whether it bombs or becomes a success it sounds like fans will it least love it!

That sounds hilarious!!! I mean that line. I hope we get some good reviews though. (y)

OK sundance buzz says some good things about it. They call it hilarious, offensive and fun to listen to. :)

Yeah MTV I bitch about a lot these days with their trashy reality shows but thankfully they gave this film a great review. Also this is good too because it talks about the new songs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

shit, i find myself literally laughing out loud while just reading the reviews alone. this is so epic. simply saying "i can't wait" would be the understatement of a lifetime.
:eek:

Maybe they will go back to playing videos and play these when they come out.

[Laver1969]

This all sounds great....but when do we get to see this? Will it be released on dvd or what? Does it come out when the album drops?


The reviews sound awesome!!!

Thanx for the links!
Can't wait to see this!!!(y)

[doc2]

Love it :)

[pesto pizza]

that was good,positive vibe.need to hear more about the 3 new songs though.

[Turchinator]

"we" are working on getting the scoop.

according to my "sources," the three songs being previewed are Too Many Rappers, Make Some Noise, and Say It

[JoLovesMCA]

That was a great podcast. I am so excited about the music especially hearing in the reviews how well it was all received. Thank GOD I know some of us were worried at first.

I laughed when I read somebody who seen it say it was a little self indulgent. UH they can self indulge all they want!! They earned that ten times over and then SOME..... :o

[Turchinator]

worried? lol, you are a lunatic.

[Kid Presentable]

I actually thought the 'some of us' was a bigger red flag

[JoLovesMCA]

worried? lol, you are a lunatic.

Huh? Uh no you're the lunatic! I just read on other fan-sites where some fans were taking those first negative reviews tooooooo seriously. I used "us" as in fans as a unity so perhaps I worded that wrong, MY BAD! Anyway my point was that it was nice to see MTV and other places do the opposite and give it amazing reviews... THUS no need to worry... That's all I meant by that and nothing more.---peace out...

Who cares if some people gave the short a negative review. It’s not a review about you as a person. People can dislike the Beastie Boys and their side projects. Fight for Your Right revisited is not an extension of your personality, so I am not sure why you would be worried if people didn’t like it.

Okay good dude!! I know for me personally as a fan I like to read good reviews on an artist I admire and so I said I was happy the good outweighed the bad. ;)

And why would I be worried? I never said I was. I just explained that I read comments from fans saying they heard it was really horrible. So I linked them to all of the good reviews from MTV and said well it can't be that bad with reviews like that!

I think it's great if you don't care what folks think of the BB's side projects but I am also a Adam Yauch fan and I mean a fan of the writer/director sooo anything he does solo I really want to see it do well! Now if there's something wrong with that well then sorry not much else I can try and explain on the matter! :cool:

Anyway I am wondering mainly what will happen next with this project and how it will tie into the new album. I hope we hear something soon about that!!!

[Kid Presentable]

The band has released a short film featuring an actual pissing contest - Outside of the music I don't get why anybody is taking it seriously.

Well I agree but like that snobbish director who called the entire thing an artless turd. He obviously doesn't know how to lighten up and just enjoy it for what it's worth.

[Jiberish]

doesn't anybody want to be surprised by the video when they actually see it anymore? sometimes I hate the internet.

still from the 3 sentences I read it sounds kind of cool. When do we get to see it for Christmas sakes?

[Bernard Goetz]

Jason Schwartzman: Another café patron, dressed as Vincent Van Gogh, for some reason.

I assume the 'some reason' is a Hey Ladies song/video reference.

[senbei]

Call me excited :D

"Say It" is particularly is heavy with distortion, plus a looser flow than expected from the trio. "Make Some Noise" seems borrowed from an earlier time in their career, and perfect for breaking windows with trash cans, fizzing cans of beer and human bodies. The Eccles Theatre this morning brrrred with bass and the occasional curse word.

Like a few other music videos that have debuted recently -- including Kanye's "Runaway" -- the Beastie Boys are lifting the curtain on more than a single song within one piece of video work, and the result is a cohesion in what to expect from the full-length. And while the short itself will be getting a once-over by another HitFix crit, I'm at least heartened to hear full-bodied, rock-arranged new tracks from the Beasties. "Hot Sauce Committe" is starting to sound pretty hot.

It's great that you're a huge fan of the beasties but you haven't seen the short, right? How do you know which reviews are accurate? A review is just someone's opinion. Unless you were at Sundance you don't have enough information to form your own opinion yet.

doesn't anybody want to be surprised by the video when they actually see it anymore? sometimes I hate the internet.

I'd rather be surprised so I'm not reading any reviews.

[MCMel]

Man crazy cast is right-dying to see this like everyone else! Sure I'd hurt myself laughing!!!:D

[abbott]

how/when can I see this

[funk63]

This is cool news. This could definitely get a star wars level following if its marketed right, action figures and everything, then there will be the pauls botique sequel, followed by cyh, ill, so on etc etc. then 20 years from now we'll get the cookie puss prequel that everyone will inevitably hate because they'll have to hire new actors and use way too much cg.

I bought only 5 albums last year(cypress hill,kano,plan b,richard ashcroft and Kt tunstall).
for me there is such shit beyond shit music out there and I need the beastie boys to save my ears.But i do understand its not their job, just to please me.
fuck knows what i will do when they retire.

[Guy Incognito]

you need to broaden your musical horizons, use spotify or last fm.

[pesto pizza]

not heard of either of those radio stations?what sort of music do they play?
my taste is minor threat sort punk music,hardcore wutang/ultramagnetic mcs rap and sort swagger oasis/ashcroft/weller indie music.
