Merry Holidays from Conchords News Central

Just tying up some loose ends before I step away from the Conchords news desk for the holidays.

Congratulations to Rhys for winning two awards at the 2007 NZ Comedy Guild Awards! He won “Best Onscreen Comedy Performance” and he beat out the Conchords for “The Kevin Smith Memorial Trophy for Artist Achievement”.

Loren Horsley has a nice article in the Herald Sun. She so impressed me in Eagle vs Shark. I went to the film to see Jemaine as Jarrod, but I fell in love with Lily. If you haven’t seen Eagle vs Shark yet do yourself a favor and rent it when it comes out on dvd or better yet, BUY it this January!

Adore her at heraldsun.com.au

Ok, I’ve admitted to my nerdish leanings in the past and this confirms it. Whilst reading engadget.com I came across this gem (jem).

Recycl-o-sort: not a part of foreplay, but still very important

Even casual fans of Jemaine Clement could appreciate the Recycl-o-sort — after all, it’s hard to deny the vitalness of sorting out the recycling. In that spirit, a team of MIT students concocted a prototype that automatically sifts through recyclables and deposits them into the appropriate bin depending on makeup.

Go read all the Conchords related comments at Engadget.com. (A very good website to read if you like gadgets and the such..)

Maureen Ryan from the Chicago Tribune Blog named the Conchords HBO series one of her top 10 TV shows of the year. I’m ashamed to say I haven’t seen many of the other top ten-ers, there are just so many shows and so little time..

See if your other favorite shows made the list at The Watcher: Chicago Tribune Blog

And finally, TVNZ has Eagle vs Shark at number 4 of their Top Ten movies of 2007. What, what, what?? Beating it out of the top spot were 300 (never saw it), The Bourne Ultimatum (loved it) and at number 1, Transformers (???). I admit I was dragged to the movie twice this year and i was fairly entertained but NUMBER 1?? Maybe I’m just getting too old.
