Transporter 3
And who wouldn't want to see a movie with such originality behind it...
And while we are at it... Is Jason Statham such a hot guy that the movie directors have him taking of his shirt every five minutes...
Fight -- take of your shirt...
Lunch -- take of your shirt...
Drink Orangina -- take of your shirt...

The Ocarina of iPhone?
from MAKE Magazine by Collin Cunningham: The Ocarina synthesizes sound in real-time, just like a regular instrument, based on actual gestures including wind input, tilt, and finger placement over the four holes overlaid on the multi-touch pad. Unlike other iPhone audio apps, the sound is not pre-compiled but is generated by the notes, gestures and nuance of the individual performer. As a result, it allows an iPhone user to explore and master the musical sounds of an entirely iPhone-native version of an ancient flute-like instrument.

Inprov Week: MP3 Experiment
The Mp3 was a mixture of music and instructions from a voice. Audience members downloaded the Mp3 in advance, transferred it to their portable Mp3 players (or burned it to a disc for their portable CD players), and brought it with them to the park. Audience members were told not to listen to the track in advance. Then the people did what the mp3 told them to do...

Inprov Week: Suicide Jumper
A few weeks ago while walking down 31st Street near 8th Avenue someone noticed a four-foot tall ledge protruding from a seemingly abandoned building. The next logical step was to stage an Improv Everywhere Mission with a suicide jumper on the absurdly small ledge. At around 3:30 in the afternoon, a somber man crawled up the far side of the ledge at the edge of the building and began carefully inching his way towards the center.

Inprov Week: Cell Phone Symphony
The Strand book store in NYC. Well there is bag check... As you can imagine, with all those bags and coats and things, people leave their cell phones with the guy. Occasionally they go off. Get a group of people, thirty or so, who all come into the shop and check their bags with their phones in ‘em. At some later point, every single phone checked into the bag check starts to ring at the same time. It’d be bedlam.

Inprov Week: Meet a Black Person
Just down the stairs from where the skiers finished their trek, they found an abandoned beverage kiosk. Agent Dunn set up shop and offered Aspen residents a much-needed service. Aspen is 0.44% Black, so Improv Everywhere figured we’d give everyone a chance to meet and greet with a real live black person. As skiers exited the mountain, Agent Dunn shouted, “What’s up everyone, I’m a black person.”

Inprov Week: Frozen Grand Central
On a cold Saturday in New York City, the world’s largest train station came to a sudden halt. Over 200 Improv Everywhere Agents froze in place at the exact same second for five minutes in the Main Concourse of Grand Central Station. Over 500,000 people rush through Grand Central every day, but today, things slowed down just a bit as commuters and tourists alike stopped to notice what was happening around them. Enjoy the video first and then go behind the scenes with our mission report and photos.

Inprov Week: Food Court Musical
16 agents staged a spontaneous musical in the food court of a Los Angeles shopping mall. They used wireless microphones to amplify the vocal performances and mix them together with the music through the mall’s PA system. They filmed the mission with hidden cameras, mostly behind two-way mirrors. Apart from they performers, no one in the food court was aware of what was happening. Enjoy the video first and then go behind the scenes with our report below.

Election Day Week: Indecision 2008 Part 3
A little boy goes to his dad and asks, 'What is Politics?' Dad says, 'Well son, let me try to explain it this way: I am the head of the family, so call me The President. Your mother is the administrator of the money, so we call her the Government. We are here to take care of your needs, so we will call you the People. The nanny, we will consider her the Working Class. And your baby brother, we will call him the Future. Now think about that and see if it makes sense.' So the little boy goes off to bed thinking about what Dad has said. Later that night, he hears his baby brother crying, so he gets up to check on him. He finds that the baby has severely soiled his diaper. So the little boy goes to his parent's room and finds his mother asleep. Not wanting to wake her, he goes to the nanny's room. Finding the door locked, he peeks in the keyhole and sees his father in bed with the nanny. He gives up and goes back to bed. The next morning, the little boy says to his father, 'Dad, I think I understand the concept of politics now. 'The father says, 'good, son, tell me in your own words what you think politics is all about. 'The little boy replies, 'The President is screwing the Working Class while the Government is sound asleep. The People are being ignored and the Future is in deep shit.'
