The Duplass brothers have a new movie called Baghead opening and you can probably guess what it’s about. A guy with a bag over his head. Actually, the description says:

While the Duplass Brothers were shooting their last feature film The Puffy Chair, a crew member raised the question “what’s the scariest thing you can think of?” Someone immediately said “a guy with a bag on his head staring into your window.” Some agreed, but some thought it was downright ridiculous and, if anything, funny (but definitely not scary). Thus, BAGHEAD was born, an attempt to take the absurdly low-concept idea of a “guy with a bag on his head” and make a funny, truthful, endearing film that, maybe, just maybe, was a little bit scary, too.

And because I’m so awesome, I was given the chance to give away a Sony MP3 player. This one if you’re curious. To enter:

1. Come up with a caption for the picture above
2. Write it down as a comment using/leaving a valid e-mail address or email it to me at theblemish (at) gmail.com with the subject “Baghead contest”.
3. Go clean your Real Doll.

Contest ends Friday, July 25. Check out the trailer below.

Win a Garden Party t-shirt. I’ll be giving away 3 Medium and 3 Large (Men’s) t-shirts. They’re made by American Apparel. Not sure what Garden Party is? Me neither. The trailer is up top and the synopsis is as follows:

On the sleazier side of Sunset, teenage beauty APRIL (Willa Holland) has humble ambitions. She’s searching for a way to get by without taking off her clothes—any more than she already has. But the going is tough.

SALLY ST. CLAIR (Vinessa Shaw) is a realtor whose business has been built upon her sex appeal and secret past. Success has hardened Sally and rendered her disconnected, but it has given her a great eye for spotting lost souls in need of direction.

One such soul is her assistant, NATHAN (Alexander Cendese), who has moved to Los Angeles from Nebraska in search of fame as a dancer. Lacking drive and confidence, Nathan finds himself making late night photocopies for Sally and her clients.

TODD (Richard Gunn) is one of those prospective clients. A porn addicted artist in search of a way out of a sexless relationship and into an adventure, he’s happy to help Sally get revenge for some past indiscretions. In exchange, Sally helps Todd live out his fantasy.

Blazing his own path is SAMMY (Erik Scott Smith), a cunning, off the bus musician/street kid with his eyes on stardom. When Nathan meets SAMMY, Nathan sees a light at the end of the tunnel and maybe more than just a friend, while Sammy sees a much-needed roof over his head

When a local erotic photographer introduces April to Nathan, the dominoes fall on a series of chance encounters. And after everyone has met just about everyone else, each comes away changed in the strangest of ways.

Leave a comment below or email me with your best joke or if you’re like Wes, your hot girlfriend. 6 winners will be chosen to win the T-Shirt below. Contest ends next Tuesday, July 14.

Because I’m so popular, someone is letting me give away two tickets to the New American Music Union festival hosted by American Eagle Outfitters (http://www.ae.com/musicfestival). Per the description:

The New American Music Union is a two day summer music festival, hosted by AEO, in Pittsburgh on August 8th and 9th. Curated by Anthony Kiedis from the Red Hot Chili Peppers, the festival combines big artist like Bob Dylan, The Raconteurs, The Roots, and Spoon on the main stage with fifteen of the country’s best college bands on stage two.

To enter, think of a good caption for the picture above of Anthony Kiedis. Mine was: “Anthony Kiedis does his best canned tuna impression.” Pretty lame, but screw you, sir! If you have a better one, put it in a comment or email it to me at theblemish (at) gmail.com

Best caption will get two free tickets. Contest ends next Thursday, June 10.
