Found this on the Something Awful forums and it was too good not to share. It's oddly addictive.

Here's the trailer for a super cool movie that's coming out in January that I have a fun little part in. This is produced by Darin Wood, Christy Savage, and Amy S. of Trash Film Orgy fame. How can you not love a movie about a giant sea monster that kills go go dancers? If you don't blink, you can see me get shot at the 59 second mark.

Here's a group I wouldn't mind seeing doing a reunion tour. Of course only if lead singer Peter Wolf was fronting the band again. I really dug his solo album with the song "Come As You Are", too.

Most remember The Divinyls for their silly and overplayed "I Touch Myself" song from the '80s, but their first big single "Boys In Town" is a lot of fun. Lead singer Chrissie Amphlett was pretty damn hot and a nice mix of Pat Benatar, Chrissie Hynde, and something strange and new. According to Wikipedia the band reformed last month and is planning a new album in 2008. I'll be there!

Cool live performance from 1979
