We’re getting slack keeping this blog up to date sorry. Besides romping around the Caribbean seas with a knife in one hand and a bottle of rum in the other, we’ve been busy making these little movies (here’s two in one go for you BAM!) and doing other fun stuff including writing for Whiteboard which is the Rushfaster blog. Go read it!
OK, so i’m pretty sure that nobody reads this blog (and rightfully so, we are pretty drab at the best of times,) but IF you do, and you would like to see the next leg of our quest for world domination, then click the play button below and marvel at our amateur film making skills in AMAZING technicolor©
As you can see we have been keeping a bit of a vlog of our travels, and therefore neglecting the blog in a sense. Either way, the videos are kinda fun to make but take up most of our spare time. You know, when we ain’t sippin cocktails out of coconuts and shit.
As you’ll see, we’ve been busy. Well by busy, we mean busy travelling Mexico. It is a particularly fine specimen of a country, but I’m sure you already knew that.
Here is Part Two: Mexico
You may, or may not, have noticed that DAA has been rather quiet over the past couple of months. There are two main reasons: one we were hacked, hence the different layout; and two we are currently making our way around the world. We packed in our jobs and started our travels in the good ol’ US of A. We have been documenting our trip using the great Sony HX9V Cyber-shot and figured it (hopefully) should be more exciting than reading about it.
We bring you Part One: The USA.
This grossly underrated and unseen film is an absolute must. If you have ever liked anything ever you will like this, its hard not to be consumed by its charm.
The acting is spot on, Billy Crudup (Almost Famous) is absolutely adorable as our lead FH (Short for Fuck-Head). Holly Hunter, Dennis Hopper, Denis Leary & Jack Black all lend a hand as supports and fit in perfectly, the dialogue in this film is fluid but also unique. This is also one of Jack Blacks greatest and funniest moments, so if you are a fan of his then this film will be worth it, if not just for this scene.
The film follows FH as he finds love, drug addiction, loss and a voyeuristic obsession. Touching, hilarious and sad, Jesus’ Son is a truly great film, delivering one of Dennis Hoppers greatest lines, “Talk into my bullet hole, tell me I’m fine.”

Watch This Film - Naked (1993)
This is a fantastic film starring David Thewlis (some of you may know him as Lupin from Harry Potter) as Johnny – A fast talking, often ranting lunatic and a right shit. Johnny flees to London fearing retribution from an abhorrent act he committed. Here, he imposes himself on an old girlfriend and her roommate (Katrin Cartlidge), making their life quite miserable. Johnny spends most of the film amusing himself by ranting at strangers and offering his (quite insightful at times) view on life. An amazing performance by Katrin Cartlidge. This film has some pretty strong themes, so viewer beware.

After the devastating effects of the recent earthquake in Christchurch NZ, the out of luck locals would have been excused for sitting on their arse, feeling slightly defeated.
As you will see from the video below titled QUAKED, these skaters have done the exact opposite and made the most out of a shit situation by using the recently torn up city as a brand new concrete playground, skating the cracks and newly twisted earth to create one of the most original skate vids we have ever seen.
Thats the spirit, we say.

Guten Morgen Fine Pooples.
Here begins the movie club. Where I, Das Snuggler, will present to you a feature to download, watch, enjoy and comment on any time I feel the urge. These films will be either a feature documentary or film that I love, and feel must be shared with the masses; they will range from the underground to the main stream, the abhorrent to whimsical, and everything in between. I, in no way hold the copyright to any of these videos, however, I feel this is like a cyber version of getting my friends around to watch and talk about a sweet flick.
So, keep your eyes peeled (that’s a really weird saying, how do you peel an eye, and how would that help you find things??) for the first two releases which will be hitting the trons instantly. Diorrrrr!!!!
