Back in 1977 Dane disco king Tommy Seebach got funky and primal with this classic Shadows' tune, "Apache," and some buckskin-sporting vixens.Even though the peak of Tommy Seebach's fame was somewhere around the late 1970s, the Danish hitmaker has returned to a lesser limelight with the viral circulation of his campy video for "Apache." From the smooth guitar riffage to Seebach's glorious main and sunshine smile, the grooving romp through the forest with buckskin-clad sweethearts is an amazing piece of work. Seebach himself died of a heartattack in 2003, but one view of "Apache" and it's clear that his legacy will live on forever.
Meet the ultimate, unlikely diva: Luis Guzman, in this video shot behind-the scenes of the movie "Waiting." From the blog of the director of "Waiting":
"Okay, here's a little preface: We were fortunate enough to have a guy, Jason Vowell, constantly filming behind-the-scenes footage, so it became commonplace. As a result, the actors let their guard down and often didn't notice the camera... And further as a result, I have this clip of Luis Guzman and I getting into a really bad argument, with him becoming a real asshole. I have to be honest, I didn't originally intend to show this clip to anyone. I thought "maaaaaaybe I'll put it on the 10-year anniversary DVD." (Yup, I've deluded myself into thinking there will be a demand for a 10-year anniversary DVD), because after 10 years it won't matter anyway... But the reason I've changed my mind is because Luis has been talking a bunch of shit about me in interviews. Someone on the IMDB message boards posted this link to slam online ... Here's the quote if you don't want to leave this page:
'Tell me about your film Waiting... What's really hood with that?
I had a good time doing that, but the director was a real a******. The guy gotta go to like acting school so he could understand actors better. Don't get me wrong, he did a nice job writing the stuff, but he was always like directing everybody on how to act. It got to the point to where I said, "Yo dude, how many films have you made?" And he said, "This is my first film." And I say, "Dude, this is like my 65th film. I think I can do this." I said, "Don't bawl, I'm gonna take care of you and do a good job." This director, he's a nice dude, but he don't know half the s*** he doing. You can write that cause I told him that to his face in front of everybody.'
I was even going to let it go after that. I fought back my urge to issue a retort for the last couple weeks... But I have since heard him say similar things to a couple of TV interviewers. My girlfriend (who works at Lions Gate Publicity actually) told me she heard him say the same basic thing to a journalist...IN THE PRESS LINE OF MY OWN F*CKING PREMIERE!... So that was it. As far as I'm concerned, all bets are off... Screw being the bigger man. I'm going to show you the clip.
Here's the set-up for the clip: Basically, I wanted Luis to cheer the character "Calvin" on by saying "You can do it!" (not like Rob Schneider, by the way), and he wanted to cheer him on by calling him a "Pissing-Pussy-Bitch." This is supposed to be Calvin's dream sequence where everyone is being nice to him, and I tried to explain that to Luis, but he wouldn't fucking budge. You tell me if I was being out of line, or if I was "directing him on how to act.""
"The Celestine Prophecy" trailer
Based on James Redfield's worldwide best-selling novel, "The Celestine Prophecy" is a spiritual adventure film chronicling the discovery of ancient scrolls in the rainforests of Peru. The prophecy and its nine key insights predict a worldwide awakening, arising within all religious traditions, that moves humanity toward a deeper experience of spirituality. "If we pay attention, we can find a greater life, no matter where we are, no matter who we are, no matter what our circumstances are. If you tune into the mysterious coincidences in your life, if you discover and then follow your intuitions, you will find that there's a door of opportunity for a greater life for you. You can't be a victim and do it, but if you go beyond that, if you find a way out of whatever circumstance you're in, whatever block you think you might face, what happens is that it works. It always works. The only thing that holds any of us back is not believing that it works." -- James Redfield

This video is my first music video. I chose this song because the subject matter was easy for me to interpret. I wrote the song while recording our unreleased album for BMG Records. Things were not going well; we had made the mistake of agreeing to have the same manager as the record producer who had liked our demo and had got us the record deal. The manager was so concerned about looking after his major client that he didn't look after ours.
