I have gotten my hands on a couple of Voddler invites and have decided to give them away in what I like to call “Lunki’s Voddler Holiday Raffle Extravaganza”. And since Voddler for now only operates in Sweden, this is going to be a raffle among our Swedish fans.
But I don’t want all you international fans outside of Sweden to worry, we have some sweet raffles for you in the near future. You just wait and see.
So, all you need to do to be eligible for a free Voddler invite is to head over to Lunki and Sika’s Facebook Fan Page and post a holiday greeting. It doesn’t matter if you celebrate Christmas, Chanukkah, Kwanzaa, New Years Eve or whatever, just post your holiday greeting and on December 17 I will pick the winners.
And since I’m not giving one of them to Sika there are three invites to get your hands on. The raffle starts now.
Sika made himself one last week, and now the rest of us here at the office have made ourselves a South Park character. Personally, I think mine looks most alike. Cool and dangerous, yet sophisticated and with a hint of raw sex appeal. Just like real life.
If you want to make your own, head over to this site.
I have some good news and some bad news. There has been an incident here at the office. Johnny the Intern has broken the coffee maker. He was so happy to see us back at the office that he ran to the kitchen to make one of his self acclaimed “special brews”. The coffee maker couldn’t handle it and pretty much imploded.
So the bad news is; we need a new coffee maker and we don’t have any money. The good news is; we don’t have to drink Johnny the Intern’s coffee for a while.
We are back at the office after two days of mingling with the Swedish Movie Industry at a Film Convention in Luleå. And in retrospect, Luleå is more like a town than a village, but I wasn’t sure before.
It was an interesting couple of days, meeting new friends, watching Movits perform live at the dinner party, meeting two of my love interests from my teenage years, and spend some time hanging out with my mentor K G. More about him later, he is quite the character.
I just regret not telling our Intern, Johnny the Intern about our trip, since he was convinced we had been kidnapped for ransom and had called the police.
I spent yesterday in bed as a result of too much turkey. I was as a Thanksgiving joker would put it; stuffed. And since I don’t have anything else to do in bed I watched a lot of movies. And don’t ask me why, but somehow it ended up to be all French movies. I didn’t even know that I had French movies in my DVD collection.
Okay if you have to know why, they were in grabbing reach from my horizontal bed position. As I said; stuffed. But the French Movie Marathon was pretty great and I actually want to promote them to you if you ever are laid out flat in bed and can’t reach the Chevy Chase 80’s comedies that you really want to watch. Here’s the golden four;
- 36 Quai des Orfèvres. Action, Crime, Drama, Thriller, and Gérard Depardieu. What else do you need?
- Banlieue 13. A futuristic ghetto war with a lot of Parkour. And a bomb that needs to be stopped.
- Banlieue 13 – Ultimatum. Sequal. Not as good as the first installment but still good.
- Pour Elle. Vincent Lindon is my new French Hero.
Now go to bed and enjoy.
-"What!? Another year without a Christmas present from Lunki..? *sigh*"
German fans are great.
South Park fan Janina Himmen has made a flash game where you can create your own character. Check it out here!
I made myself as a character, see the signature six-pack? It’s a picture from this upcoming Christmas.
I have heard people say that you aren’t famous until you start receiving hate. And since we have been showered with love from visitors here on the blog, gotten great reviews, and attention from FOX and Philips, I have been a little bit worried about our fame.
But now, since the YouTube-member DrawFight posted a comment about his wishes that we stop doing our videos I can finally be calm. Because we are now important and famous enough for some guy to take time out of his busy schedule to bring some hate to Lunki and me.
Thank you DrawFight, thanks for the hate. We love you.
Seems like Lunki liked my idea of celebrating Thanksgiving after all. And why wouldn’t he like it. Giving thanks while eating turkey and drinking Carlsberg. It’s a nice tradition.
This week Lunki and me are traveling to the even more north of Sweden. Yes, I know that I have made statements that the north of Sweden pretty much only consist of trees and elks, but there is supposedly a village or a town in the middle of it called Luleå. And we’re heading up there on Wednesday to attend Filmkonvent 09, a convention for people in the Swedish Film Industry.
Yes, there is a Film Industry here in Sweden and we are a big part of it. We sure are. Not to be confused with the Swedish Entertainment Industry, which we are also part of. Oh, and the Fashion Industry. Phew, I almost forgot about that one.
It’s the time of year to come up with what you’re really thankful for. And it doesn’t matter if it’s stalkers, weight loss, cars from the nineties or friendship. In Lunki and Sika’s Universe, it’s all good.
Lunki just shot down one of my many great ideas again. I suggested, since it’s Thanksgiving weekend in America and since we hopefully will live there when we get our TV-show, that it would be nice to celebrate it ourselves to get a head start on American traditions.
I think Lunki liked the idea of getting the head start, but since the idea came from me, he muttered something about us being Swedes living in Sweden and that we should leave the American traditions alone.
Well, bye bye Halloween..
I was a big fan of the original V-series back in the mid-eighties so when I heard that a remake was in production I was horrified, but also a little curious. So I just had to watch it.
And after watching the pilot episode of “V” 2009-style I was hooked. I’m not loving it as much as the original, but I still like it a lot. It sadly doesn’t have the same eerie kind of score and the special effects varies from excellent to really terrible, but the writers has added an interesting twist to the story and the series is packed with a lot of great actors from other TV-shows.
Elizabeth Mitchell (Lost), and Joel Gretsch, (4400 and Taken) stars as FBI agent Erica Evans and catholic priest Father Jack Landry. The incredibly beautiful Morena Baccarin, who I already love after seeing her guest appear as Chloe on How I met your mother, co-stars as the V leader Anna.
But even if there are a lot of great actors, I do think that the characters they have to play aren’t as great as the ones from the original series. I especially miss someone like Ham Tyler, brilliantly played by Michael ironside, or Mike Donovan, played by Marc Singer.
Marc Singer as Mike Donovan
Only four episodes have been produced in the new series as some kind of test to see what ratings it would get. And since it started off with the biggest rating a new show has gotten in a long, long time I think we will get a full season starting March 15 2010, when the fifth episode is scheduled for broadcast.
And hopefully by then, the writers has added some new, cool characters. I can’t wait to see.
I’m waiting for the Live stream from The Staples Center in Los Angeles which will start in forty-five minutes. It’s early morning here in Sweden, but who cares? It’s KISS.
Join me at the concert here.
Edit: The concert is over, and it was awesome. The streaming was excellent and did only freeze up once. And it was of course right before God of Thunder when Gene Simmons was about to spit blood. And I missed it. Damn it.
Usually when Johnny the Intern’s favorite football/soccer team Liverpool looses a game it affects his coffee making performance. Bad game. Bad coffee. Good game. Slightly less bad coffee.
But today, the day after Liverpool FC didn’t make the play-offs in Champions League, he didn’t make any coffee at all.
He just sits here quietly at the office with a blank stare and tears in his eyes. I feel sorry for Johnny the Intern, but in the meantime I can’t help feeling happy for Lunki and me. Personally I wouldn’t have dared tasting whatever coffee he would have produced on a sad day like this.
I just had a funny conversation with my 83-year-old grandma. She told me that she had a new favorite sitcom on TV. She didn’t know what it was called, but it was about a troubled husband and wife and their family. She was quite happy that one of her TV channels showed it four times a day.
I started guessing; Married with Children? No. King of Queens? No. Home Improvement? No. Everybody Loves Raymond? No.
I pretty much guessed all sitcom couple shows ever made. I even went back to the good old days. I Love Lucy? No. The Honeymooners? No. The Jeffersons? No. All in the Family? No.
Some of them she had never even heard of. We sat quietly for a while until she blurted out; Oh, they are kind of yellow! Really? The Simpsons? Yes.
My 83-year-old grandma loves the Simpsons. I couldn’t be prouder.
Janne the Director has been coming around the office every day the last couple of months to suggest that he could direct our upcoming unpaid TV Pilot for Swedish Television. And our answer has always been the same; you are in the mix Janne the Director, but we are still planning an audition to get the right Director for the job.
This morning he came around again, but this time with a new suggestion. He wants to direct a short film starring me and Lunki. A film that would be submitted to film festivals around the world; like Tribeca, Sundance and Cannes. And a film that ultimately would win Best Live Action Short Film at the Academy Awards.
It was a great pitch and the thing that really sold us on the idea was that he promised to, at the award ceremony, introduce us to his Hollywood friends; the Baldwin cousins.
Now all we need is a script. I made a short film years ago, but this time it would be nice to work with a script coming from outside the Lunki and Sika entourage. Do I see a script contest here at the blog in the near future? You bet.
And I would love to see them.
If the new tour is as good as the new album, the “Sonic Boom Over Europe: From The Beginning To The Boom” is going to be awesome! KISS is coming next Summer to Ireland, Switzerland, Italy, Austria, Czech Republic, Germany, Norway, Finland, Denmark, Holland, France, Spain, Belgium and TWO gigs in Sweden.
But since both Lunki and me have been strapped for cash the last couple of decades I guess we have to make due with watching them live on Facebook (facebook.com/KISS) via a streaming link from their show at the Staples Center in Los Angeles at 9 pm PST on Wednesday, November 25.
We have put Johnny the Intern on a mission to solve the “no cash for KISS tickets” problem. He has until November 27 when the tickets go on sale.
It’s been a weird couple of days with disappointing news; Oprah Winfrey announced the retirement of her show, Paris Hilton’s mom announced that Paris once upon a time had plans for breast enlargements, and pretty much everyone seemed to agree that The Twilight Saga: New Moon sucked. And if that wasn’t enough, it has come to my attention that pizza isn’t considered a low carb meal.
It’s hard to keep track of what to eat, but it seems bread is out of the question. Johnny the Intern has taken it upon himself to add it to his list of what’s forbidden to eat here at the office; which means bread is right up there with fruit and vegetables, because as you know; he is convinced those two are what makes you overweight.
If you think that’s weird you should be aware that he also is convinced that the new John Cusack movie 2012 is in fact a Documentary sent to us from the future.
He is currently putting together a boat, purchased at IKEA.
This week Lunki and Sika have gotten their very own Stalker.
Northern Europe’s Most Hard Working and Promising Creators are Looking for Representation
Since we are planning to make it big internationally we are hoping to get representation in different countries, starting with the United States. According to wikipedia there are about four or five big players in the line of talent agencies in the States.
Creative Artists Agency (CAA)
International Creative Management (ICM)
United Talent Agency (UTA)
William Morris Endeavor Entertainment (WME Entertainment)
The question is; how do we get their attention? Do I have to send out my “Burt Reynolds”-picture again, or is there anybody out there who knows an agent who would be perfect for us?
Sika did a blog post about who could play the role as him when we get our own TV show in America. I personally think that the show would benefit if I played a lead role/show runner/producer part, but as Sika says, maybe FOX have another actor in mind to play the role of Lunki.
Sika got some spot on suggestions like Bruce Vilanch and Paul Giamatti.
When it comes to me it is not as easy as that. Many people often think of some longed haired sex gods like Johnny Depp or Orlando Bloom. But I don’t want it all to be about the looks, I want to go deeper.
An actor with an aura that is both sophisticated and censorious as well as laid back and ingenious.
I simply don’t know. Do you have any suggestions?
It started yesterday when kateberger1 posted this comment on our first eighteen videos on YouTube;
I’m in love with one of you…guess who? Sorry but I just discovered you today & I’m playing catch-up starting w/the very 1st episode. You guys (I mean 1 of you) are the greatest. I just got the book, “stalking for dummies” so I’ll be seeing (one of you) real soon!
She then posted comments on the rest of the videos so far (up to the 32nd) saying stuff like;
Oh Sika…my heart be still! You are a magnificent specimen of manhood!
OK Sika, time for me to come clean. Yes IT IS YOU THAT I LOVE! It’s true what Johnny says, and I love the color of your P*N*S! (oh sorry, that was me next to you in the public urinal that day). OK, I’ll admit it, I’m also the one snapping the polaroids from your bedroom window.
Johnny is spot on, your voice, acting talents, P*N*S…all adds up to the perfect man.
I have been thinking a lot about our still-to-come TV-show in America. I’m a trained actor, but it’s not certain that the executives at FOX or Comedy Central or wherever we end up wants me to play myself on the show. Perhaps they want me to focus more on the creative part of the show. And in that case, they might bring in someone great; a character actor that really could bring the part of Sika to new heights. And someone reminiscent of what I’m all about; good looks, al pacino-like acting skills, understated wit and charm.
I’m thinking Ben Affleck. What do you think? Do you have a different suggestion? Let me know, because when one of the TV-companies decides to snatch us up, it’s good to be prepared.
I have just watched the video that Lunki posted this weekend.
From what I understand from the reactions, there are a lot of people thinking that it’s me in that video. And I understand how they can make that mistake. I mean, they guy has awesome hair, a great mustache, nice frames, and a hairy chest. But nevertheless, it’s not me.
It is however another example of a great guy being single and trying to find the love of his life. It’s admirable. I myself is in that very position today. I feel his pain. HIS pain. The other guy in the video. It’s not me.
Because f it was me participating in that video from the 80’s and not another great guy named Sika, it would be very sad that I 20 years later still were searching for the one true love. Very sad. But thankfully it’s not. It’s not.
But now over to something more important. The weather is getting colder by the minute here in the north of Sweden. We have heard reports that there will be snow any day now. That’s good because the polar bears are getting restless. They like snow.
I just have to show you this. I found this video tape of Sika from the 80’s. Check it out.
As you know, Lunki is in Finland this weekend. I just got a message saying that he is planning to upload a video tomorrow evening from his hotel room. It apparently had something to do with me being single.
I’m a bit worried, since the last video he uploaded on his own was my sex tape.
But perhaps the new upload won’t be something bad at all. Because I have really thought about it, and I don’t think there are any more “tapes” out there with my participation.
Maybe he has just found a girl that he wants to introduce to me. Or maybe not. We just have to wait and see. Be sure to check back here tomorrow.
Even though he promised to carry all the gold we would find if we went on an adventure together, it seems Johnny the Intern will be busy this weekend. He is sitting here on the office floor putting together some furniture I ordered from IKEA. And he’s doing it without a manual!
It’s looks to me like he’s currently on his own little adventure. Because much like Indiana Jones he treats every piece in front of him on the floor like a booby trap. He carefully examines them, trying to figure out the ups and downs, the lefts and rights.
It’s so much fun to see someone putting together furniture without a manual, because as we speak, Johnny the Intern is getting more and more angry and frustrated. So even though I didn’t get my own adventure, just watching this spectacle pretty much makes up for that.
Thank God I hid that manual.
Even if I’m from Sweden, I have always loved Canada.
And we have had some great moments, Canada and me. I loved Monty Python’s “The Lumberjack Song”, I was glued to the television watching Wayne Gretzky play hockey and I was happy getting Alanis Morissette’s Jagged Little Pill when I signed up for a gym membership back in 1995, even if I’d never heard of her or knew that she originated from Canada.
You really have produced some great people Canada. So when I discovered that it was a Canadian that had produced our first video response ever on YouTube, I wasn’t surprised. Because you are there for me Canada. You are always there.
In case you haven’t seen it, here’s a link to The Elk Day. The video response is located right under it. Go Canada!
No Sika, you don’t need girlfriend! I would love go on adventure with you! I carry the bags of gold that we find while you sing for me.
But not right now. I’m using Lunki’s computer to play Farmville. Time to milk some cow and trim some bush. It’s all in a day’s work as a busy Farmer!
Goodbye!
I want to go on an adventure. And no, it’s not only because Lunki is going to the exotic north of Finland this weekend and leaving me here at the office. It does affect the situation but it’s not the sole reason.
I happened to watch The Goonies last night and got envious of their great adventure. So for that to happen to me this week, maybe I have to round up my own “The Goonies” team? Starting with Johnny the Intern as Chunk.
I don’t know. Maybe it’s time for me to get a girlfriend? Because from what I understand the reason for getting a girlfriend is you have someone to go on adventures with.
That, and back rubs.
New week, new adventures. Well, for Lunki anyway. He’s going to Finland later this week for some reason, while I’m stuck adventureless at the office.
Johnny the Intern keeps bugging me to become a Farmer in Farmville. My response is that I would love to do that, but only if he becomes a Barista in At-last-a-great-cup-of-coffee-for-Sikaville. He always laughs heartily at my suggestion, even if he doesn’t understand it. How is it even possible for him to ruin the coffee every single time? You would think that he accidentally would get it right. At least once?
I need to come up with an adventure for myself that makes my week better than Lunki’s. Right now my week feels like the movie Adventureland. It could be promising, but after a closer look it’s really, really boring and with no adventure at all.
