Welcome to C&V 5.0 by amit

Welcome to the 5th major update of Celluloid and Vinyl, THE source for entertainment news and exclusives. We’ve been hard at work building a new site as well as reorganizing it so you, the reader, has better access to our non-stop coverage. For starters you’ll notice our brand spankin’ new header and logo made from bits of our past logos. The header is also home to our official mascot Chanticleer within the vinyl record and on the left a few images from our favorite movies/music in the cells of the celluloid.

Next, you’re probably wondering why there’s only two posts visible on the main page. We’ve decided to reserve those two spots for content that can only be found on C&V. They’ll include interview transcripts and podcasts, reviews, clips, contests and giveaways. Finally, we’re dedicated to keeping you up-to-date on your entertainment news. That’s why we’ve got “post-its” for each news category listing the daily headlines.

To our current readers, thanks for being patient during this transition, and to the new ones, welcome to Celluloid and Vinyl. Keeping in the spirit of C&V sign offs, here’s a picture of Clay Aiken making out with a giraffe.

Congrats to Carly, red and Bobby Drakensfeld for coming up with the three best captions to Kyle Cease’s “One Dimple” album art.

Kyle Cease Caption Contest by amit

We’ve held caption contests for Wolverine, Nate!, Sean Connery, Gwyneth Paltrow, and the esteemed Troy Blendell, but none have ever come close to today’s contest. Why? This time the stakes are higher and the prizes are better. C&V realizes it’s hard to beat previous awards like Looney Tunes ninja stars and Jiff cornbread, but we have. Readers, put on your thinking skull caps and caption the cover art to Kyle Cease’s debut comedy album, “One Dimple.” Read more about “One Dimple” here.

First Prize:
Kyle Cease’s “One Dimple” CD/DVD + Dane Cook’s “Harmful If Swallowed” CD
Second and Third Prize: Kyle Cease’s “One Dimple” CD/DVD

We’ll announce the winner next week (Monday 7/24), so please included your e-mail address when you comment your caption entry (addresses are not revealed to the public). If your caption places, we’ll e-mail you with further details on how to receive your hard-earned reward.

Good Luck.

Happy 4th of July by amit

To our thousands of readers and fanatics, Celluloid and Vinyl would like to say, Happy Fourth of July. In honor of America’s 230th birthday we’ve put together a photo montage of American movies, music, pop culture and missiles. So put down the sparklers and M-80’s and sit back and enjoy a slice of Americana only C&V could serve.

And now an exchange between Joe Dirt and Kicking Wing:
Joe Dirt: So your gonna’ tell me that you don’t have no black cats, no roman candles, or screaming mimis?
Kicking Wing: No.
Joe Dirt: Oh come on man. You got no lady fingers, fuzz buttles, snicker bombs, church burners, finger blasters, gut busters, zippity do das, or crap flappers?
Kicking Wing: No, I don’t.
Joe Dirt: You’re gonna stand there, owning a fireworks stand, and tell me you don’t have no whistling bungholes, no spleen spliters, whisker biscuits, honkey lighters, hoosker doos, hoosker donts, cherry bombs, nipsy daisers, with or without the scooter stick, or one single whistling kitty chaser?
Kicking Wing: No… because snakes and sparklers are the only ones I like.
Joe Dirt: Well that might be your problem, it’s not what you like, it’s the consumer.
