Bottleneck Galleries is one of the first galleries to be opened in NY that primarily focuses on pop culture themed art shows. The gang over there has an excellent eye for cool pieces, a ton of great ideas for show possibilities, and a work ethic that keeps the exhibits opening soon after one closes. Hot of the finale of the 'Alternate Endings' show comes 'Gizmos & Gadgets', an art show that focuses on the machines & technology of some of your favorite movies of all time. Ripley's front loader mech suit from Alien? Yup. Gob's Segeway from Arrested Development? Yup. Numerous Batman gadgets from his utility belt? Most definitely. Inspector Gadgets whole body, diagrammed X-Ray style? Oh yeah! These are just a few of the wacky and wild illustrations you will find in the collection for this show. The show opened on January 18th and runs through February 3rd, so try to get yourself down there and buy one of these cool pieces of art. The prices for the last show were relatively affordable, so hopefully you can find something in your price range to bring home and support local artists at the same time!

I love the fact that Mike Tyson is finding his sense of humor in his retired years. After co-starring in The Hangover and appearing on Entourage, he has appeared in a ton of sketches for websites like Break.com and Funny or Die. Now that it was Oscar time, it seemed like Mike was the go to guy for some of the funnier skits to come out in the last few days. In case you missed them, here they are.
First, we got Funny or Die's "Oscar Talk with Leonard Maltin" that features Mr. Maltin discussing this years Oscar nominees with the former champ... and as expected the results are hysterical.
Next up, we got Tyson taking over for Geoffrey Rush and becoming a speech therapist to George W Bush in a send up of The King's Speech for the Jimmy Kimmel show. This one is great...
Good to see Mr. Mike laughing it all off and having a great time. I am looking forward to seeing him in the upcoming Hangover 2. Stay out of trouble Mike.... and keep up the funny stuff.
