This is the first trailer of Dan Fogler's crazy looking indie comedy Don Peyote. This film just seems insanely out there, but it's got a great cast that includes Anne Hathaway, Jay Baruchel, Dean Winters, Josh Duhamel, Daniel Pinchbeck, Yang Miller, and more.
The story follows "a man's decent into perceived madness as he goes on a journey to unravel the fabric of status-quo society. Fogler's leading character, Warren Allman, dives deep down the rabbit hole of conspiracy theories, secret societies, and counter culture to try and figure out what’s really happening in our world and who is pulling the strings."
This looks like one of those really weird movies that I'm going to enjoy watching. There's no doubt they had fun making it. Check out the psychedelic trailer below!

18 months ago Dan Fogler broke the news to us about his new film Don Peyote. 6 months ago he gave us a little update. Last week I finally got to see it. Well, most of it. The film is currently unfinished with 10 shooting days left and a handful of special effects that need to be added. For obvious reasons, this should not be considered a review of the film.
Don Peyote tells the story Warren Allman (played by Fogler), an unemployed stoner who finally finds a purpose in life after an unpleasant encounter with a homeless man preaching the end is near. Fueled by vivid apocalyptic dreams, Warren becomes obsessed with 2012 doomsday theories and decides to make a documentary on the subject while his fiancé is busy planning their wedding.
The film expertly weaves together a narrative storyline, Warren’s increasingly bizarre dream sequences and documentary footage. Many of the documentary...

Nice T-shirt, Russell Brand! It reads, “Heroin Killed The Radio Star”, Fyi. Too clever, by half don’t you think? Not the best choice, perhaps, for a former drug addict. But he’s always had a kooky sense of humor which makes him so damn endearing! We’re also quite bemused with Russell’s choice of lunch companion — books! While heading to Swingers restaurant in L.A, Russell carried The Lost Dogs by Jim Gorant and 2012 The Return of Quetzalcoatl by Daniel Pinchbeck with him. So many shades to this man. What you don’t see, is that wife Katy Perry also joined him. So we wonder how much reading he actually got done.

Destroy All Movies! That’s the cheeky theme to the 12th annual Melbourne Underground Film Festival, which will run on August 19-28.
Festival director Richard Wolstencroft lays out his philosophy for this year’s Muff in an excellent Director’s Statement, which is published in the fest’s program guide. He explains his provocative statement as thus:
“Destroy All Movies” can be taken as a query, a question and even a complaint about cinema itself. Most of us love movies. I still do, of course. I am obsessed by them as ever. Making, watching and showing them. But how often do we question our passion in this kind of ontological sense?
In that regard, Muff is a much more focused and scaled back event this year with less films screening, but with a tighter consideration of local talent, as well as a larger, more provocative stance as ever.

The Terminator series predicts that tomorrow is Judgment Day. But just in case it isn't, the end of the world is a movable feast
Thursday, 21 April 2011 is the day when Skynet, villainous super-computer from the Terminator films, is due to launch its assault on mankind. Terminator director James Cameron alerted the world to the significance of the date with a tweet saying: "Instead of machines taking over, we have the very real threat of global warming."
But hold on there James, don't downplay your own prescience. We can worry about global warming and the possibility that robots are going to kill us all. An MoD report has just this week warned that we're heading for an "incremental and involuntary journey towards a Terminator-like reality." The report, the UK Approach to Unmanned Aircraft Systems, says that, given the current rate technological development, "Britain must quickly establish a policy on what...

Open City The last issue of the magazine
Open City is ceasing publishing after 20 years. The literary journal was founded in 1990 by Daniel Pinchbeck and Thomas Beller, and published works by Sam Lipsyte, David Berman, Ed Park and many other notables over its 30-issue run. Joanna Yas became the first full-time employee; a year later, in 1999, publisher and driving force Robert Bingham died and, shortly thereafter, Pinchbeck exited the magazine, leaving Yas and Beller as co-editors.

As Roland Emmerich foretold, on December 21, 2012, the Mayan calendar predicts the world will be destroyed by terrible special effects and offensively bad storylines. Only, this is not quite what they meant. The Mayans are predicting humanity will undergo a massive "change," whether that means psychologically, metaphysically, culturally, or yes, even that a giant CGI wave will swallow our souls. Daniel Pinchbeck has been discussing this since the late 90s, namely in his books 2012: The Return of Quetzalcoatl and Breaking Open The Head. He's been the foremost advocate of cultural awareness for shamanic practice and spiritual enlightenment. While many of his ideas are practical and intuitive, he just looks and sounds like a smug fucking douchebag. He's the liberal Ben Stein, with a jack-o-lantern grin and greasy hair, and every time he speaks you want to curbstomp him in a urinal. Since Joao Amorim's documentary 2012: A Time for...

“2012: Time for Change” is nothing like the similarly titled Roland Emmerich romp. This film plays on the very realistic fears of food shortages, greenhouse gases, water scarcity, economic devastation and other real-world issues plaguing our planet due to humans’ hubris.
Think of it as a horror movie for thinking people.
Author Daniel Pinchbeck, a contemporary hippie, was so distraught by the state of the world and the difficulty in getting info out through the mainstream media that he decided to interview experts and celebrities on where we are, where we’re headed and what we can do about it.
First, though, he makes clear that the Mayans didn’t see the year 2012 as the time when the world would end, but simply as the end of the life cycle of the current generation, a shift in world ages. Which may not be as cataclysmic as some fear but may still be devastating.

The Sundance selection committee headed by 1st term Festival Director John Cooper are probably butting heads, making and breaking dreams as I publish this. Official selections are less than 2 weeks away, so I figure, as I do every year, that I'll have some fun predicting what'll be watching/covering 2 months from now. If the tradition of nurturing the new generation of filmmakers and bringing back old family members from previous editions continues, most of my predictions (at least half of the 45 I'll name) should materialize. - The Sundance selection committee headed by 1st term Festival Director John Cooper are probably butting heads, making and breaking dreams as I publish this.

Supposedly, the Mayans predicted earth's collapse on 2012. They didn't.
Today sees the opening of 2012, a disaster movie predicated on the idea that hundreds of years ago, the Mayans predicted a carousel of global catastrophes, set to strike on December 21, 2012.
Ordinarily, you'd assume that this was pure Hollywood fantasy, but it's actually the other way around: There's actually a coterie of people that believe in this prophecy. The movie is, if anything, a clever marketing ploy riding the coat tails of an idea popular among the crunchiest of conspiracy theorists.
The idea first bubbled up in pop culture in the 1970s, thanks to a book by Jose Arguelles (who also happened to love Lsd). But recently, the idea's caught fire again, thanks to Daniel Pinchbeck's 2012: The Return of Quetzalcoatl. The book marshals everthing from crop circles to quantum theory, in service of the Mayan doomsday prediction. Leaving aside Pinchbeck's brain-dead interpretations,...

As Roland Emmerich prepares to end the world in a cascade of disasters for 2012, some true believers are complaining that he's putting too negative a spin on what could be key date in human evolution.
According to Everything Long Beach, twenty-eight cities around the globe are hosting "counter-screenings" to explore the positive transformations that might be expected when the Mayan calendar runs out of days on December 21, 2012. The unlikely title of these conferences is a nod to Dr. Strangelove — 2012: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Dimensional Shift.
Not that moviemakers mind, of course. Not only was this sort of speculation about 2012 a source of inspiration for the movie, the studio is even funding junkets for one of its chief prophets. New York Magazine reports that, as part of its attempts to heighten the buzz around the movie, the studio is providing financial backing for a conference...
