We decided that with summer blockbuster season over, it was time to look to the future. Fall movie season doesn’t have the same allure as a Dark Knight release, but this is the time of year when the directors seeking higher marks drop some knowledge on the public. Some of these are comedies, some are dramas, and some might just be up for an Oscar come February. Note: video trailers may not be visible in Internet Explorer.
Nicolas Cage is a dirty, long-haired American assassin in Thailand. Right there you should be thinking: haven’t you done enough Nicolas Cage? Let’s look at your last three movies, shall we: Ghost Rider, Next, and a sequel to National Treasure. I’m sorry, your acting privledges have been revoked.
Anatomy of the Facebook Profile Picture By: Guest Columnist
We live in a frightening world right now: the ever-growing, ever-developing world of Facebook. No matter where you go, the website is a major topic of discussion. In class you might hear about your neighbor’s recent poke-war. In a coffee shop you’ll eavesdrop on a couple going back and forth about whether to publicize their relationship or just leave their label on “complicated.”

John Vesely, also known as Secondhand Serenade, makes being a pop star look easy. With the help Myspace and AOL, Vesley’s first effort, Awake, cultivated a fan base that most musicians can only dream about having. Now with his newly released second album, A Twist in My Story, Secondhand Serenade is looking blow the 2008/09 pop rock scene wide open. Boosh Magazine recently had the opportunity to catch up with Vesely and discuss his newest album, his appearance on the TV show L.A. Ink and his soon to be released EP, which is intended to give his die hard fans a further taste of Secondhand Serenade. Where did the name Secondhand Serenade come from? It is a pretty simple story. The word serenade came to mind immediately because it fits with my acoustic sound, and I came up with the secondhand part because I am singing to the fans through my CDs. They are hearing it for the first time then, and when they come to see my live shows, I am giving them the song they have already heard. So in a way it’s secondhand.
Favorite Websites: Olympic Drinking Games
We were watching the Olympics last night and were wondering how to best get trashed whilst viewing the global competition in Beijing. Sure you could drink every time someone said "world record" or got stabbed, but that involves thinking and if there's one thing I hate doing while drinking it's think. Then we found 2008DrinkingGames.com, a website completely devoted to drinking games revolving around Beijing.
You get the Boosh seal of approval, fellas.

You know what’s awesome? Waffles. Alcohol. Waffles and Alcohol. Oh hell yes, I said it. If I traveled to a magical land where I could actually cook, I believe these ideas for waffle and drink pairings would be simply decadent.
Pong Toss :: Drinking Games Hit Wii By: Staff
We had been hearing a lot about this new Beer Pong related game for Wii the past couple weeks. Even TIME Magazine reported on it. Apparently, America isn't ready to acknowledge their leaders of tomorrow are spending today binge drinking with a couple rounds of Beirut. We decided it was time to get to the bottom of the matter, so we went to the creators of "Pong Toss" and the Frat Party game series, JV Games, to find out how we too could get digitally drunk.
What led to the creation of a Beer Pong related Wii game?
Awesome Websites You Should Be Using By: Staff
The web is filled with so many things that it is hard to separate what is useful from what is just Rated X. Boosh scoured the internet (the entire thing) to find some of the best sites you should be wasting your time on to help you do everything from find new music, to watch free movies, to passing that 7am Poli Sci class you never go to with flying colors.
What is it?
Slightly Interviewed: Ryan Moran from Slightly Stoopid.
By: Staff
Boosh Magazine had a chance to catch up with Slightly Stoopid drummer Ryan Moran (RyMo), and discuss the band’s Skunk Records roots, their passion for greens, and how it feels to be in a band that makes its living off of being on the road.
Things really got started for Slightly Stoopid when Bradley Nowell signed Miles and Kyle (beginning of Slightly Stoopid) to Skunk Records while they were still in high school. I know that you joined the band later on and didn’t have a chance to meet Bradley Nowell, but can you tell me a little bit about him from your band mates perspectives? Well, I’ve heard that he was a really nice guy. He was a genuine person, the type that is very welcoming to people he didn’t know. He really represented what the whole SoCal reggae rock scene was about in the early nineties. Kyle and Miles were both very good friends with him and when he passed it had a long lasting impact on both of them and on the direction of this band.
Big Ten Football as Lollapalooza Acts By: Staff
As the blogosphere has been crowded by these the past couple days, comparing football teams to completely non-related topics is getting rather overly-done. But after Boosh spent the weekend getting down in the heart of Big Ten country, under the stars and skyline of Chicago at the Lollapalooza Music Festival, we couldn't help but think there was some sense of Fall anticipation in the muggy music ridden air. So without further ado, Big Ten Football squads as acts at this years Lollapalooza Festival.
A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words
This is the grossest thing we have ever seen. If ever there was a picture for a "please God, make him put his shirt back on" campaign, this would be it.
Interview with Mo the ref from By: Staff
When we were younger, we lived and breathed Nickelodeon's GUTS. Just something about trampolines and bungee cords as required equipment for athletic events made it all the more fun to watch. And who didn't want to climb the Crag? Seriously.
Anything where you have to be super British. Some of them I don't even remember, I just turn up and do it. Are you into sports still? I wasn't into sports then. I got the job because I was amusing. I came in and I was great at improv and I was unusual. Just how many times would you say you went back to Mo for the leaderboard? 572,000. Haha, no I've got no idea. Did you ever climb the Crag? Of course I did. It was a challenge, some of the arts guys stood at the top hurling foam blocks at me. I even have a piece of the agro-crag. It's about as heavy as you would think it is. Is it on your mantle? No, it's too big.
OLYMPIC EXCLUSIVE WITH JESSICA HARDY (SWIMMING) By: Chris Millichap (University of Wisconsin)
As part of Boosh's coverage of the Olympic Games coming up, we had the opportunity to chat with 21 year old swimming sensation Jessica Hardy. Hailing from Long Beach, this California girl set the world record for the 100m breaststroke while she was a senior in high school. After slaughtering the college competition for two years at Cal, Jessica turned her sights on Beijing and focussed professionally on her swimming leading up to the games. Which has already paid off - Hardy scored another World Record for the 50m breaststroke at the Olympic Qualifying last month.
**Since this interview was conducted, Jessica's eligibility has been taken into question. It seems there may be issues with her samples from earlier this month that tested positive for a banned stimulant. Whether Hardy will be competing in the three events which she qualified for in Beijing is up in the air at this time. We hope Jessica gets the matter sorted out and gets back into the water in time for the Games.

Born in the heart of what original Southern California (So Cal) rock reggae music used to be, Slightly Stoopid has represented their culture and ideals consistently for over a decade. They do it simply and straightforward; great live shows and abstinence from pop culture influence has resulted in the birth of a music nation filled with Slightly Stoopid devotees.





We caught up with the voice behind the Leader Board, Moira Quirk, to see what the accent heavy referee was up to these days. Let's go back to Mo for the Q&A:
