The 2012 Ivy Film Festival, a week-long celebration of film that brings together professional and student filmmakers and screenwriters, will run from April 9 — 15. IFF’s 2012 lineup will feature Q&A sessions with actress Laura Linney ’86 (“Truman Show,” “Love Actually”) and director Barry Levinson (“Rain Man,” “Good Morning Vietnam”) during the week and will culminate with a screening of HBO’s new hit series “Girls,” followed by a Q&A with the show’s writer, director and star Lena Dunham.

Last year, IFF featured professionals such as screenwriter Aaron Sorkin (“The Social Network,” “The West Wing”) and actor James Franco (“127 Hours,” “Milk”) and screened student films from around the world.   [Read more →]

Professor Emeritus Barrett Hazeltine plays himself in The Blog

…until the world premiere of The Blog, BlogDH’s original webseries. Be sure to check out the teaser trailer for the series available right here. The dirty deetz on the premiere screening, to be held in Kassar Fox Auditorium at 9 p.m. tomorrow, and the afterparty are all available here.

"I'm from Rhode Island."

If you weren’t one of the 2.9 million viewers watching Rhode Island’s very own Pauly D on The Pauly D Project last Thursday when it premiered, don’t worry, we got you covered. After all, Pauly D is one of BlogDH’s favorite local celebs.

The Jersey Shore spinoff has a simple premise: following the adventures of Pauly D and his friends Biggie, Jerry, Ryan, and JROC. This season, as MTV says,

Viewers will get to see Pauly D chase his dream as he signs a recording contract with rap icon 50 Cent’s G-Note Records, accompanies pop icon Britney Spears on her international “Femme Fatale” tour and tries to balance it all with the array of photo shoots, public appearances and media interviews that are now a part of his everyday life.

It’s finally here. We are proud to present The Blog, a parody webseries about Brown’s oldest campus newspaper and its bastard stepchild, BlogDailyHerald. The Blog follows the lives of four fictional BlogDH writers who struggle to find their place on Brown’s campus and in the Herald empire. Ever oppressed by The Herald’s editorial board, these bloggers are the ultimate underdogs. They strive for a vision that no one else quite understands and, in so doing, become thoroughly wrapped up in each other’s personal lives.

Join us in Foxboro Auditorium at Kassar House for a premiere screening on Thursday, April 5, at 9 pm! There will be a party starting immediately after the screening at Captain Seaweed’s (162 Ives Street). Find the Facebook event here.

To answer your first and second questions: yes, we’re totally serious, and no, this isn’t an April Fools joke.  [Read more →]

Yep, that teaser post was no April Fool’s joke.  As if the first six acts that BCA finagled weren’t kickass enough, they decided to drop one more bomb on us: NYC/Philly indie rockers THE WALKMEN are joining the Saturday night lineup!

Currently touring to support their seventh album, Heaven, due out on June 5, the Walkmen should be a pretty dank complement to the electro-fueled bands and hippity hoppers sharing the stage with them on Saturday. That being said, they’re good, but they’re no Beets…

Today at 5 pm, a new class of high school hopefuls received some great news from our Admissions Office. First off, we at BlogDailyHerald congratulate you on your acceptance to Brown University’s Class of 2016. But now comes the hard part: actually realizing that Brown is a significantly better place than every other school that sent you an acceptance letter. For some, this may be difficult. Concerned that your inner hamster’s ironic mustache is merely peach fuzz? Start reading The Indy. Unsure of the awesome (and sometimes ridiculously named) course offerings for next year? There’s a Mocha for that. Wanna awkwardly chuckle at a bunch of silly memes you don’t get now, but will in less than 6 months?  Theres an online troll community for that.  Need to check out your class? Hail Mark Zuckerberg! There’s an Official Facebook Group for admitted students. Check out 5 simple reasons why Brown is great after the jump. [Read more →]

…’til this gets real meta.

In case you’ve been living under a rock (or at the Rock), or have already gone MIA for Spring Break, the BCA announced the lineup for the most anticipated weekend of the semester. Preparations have begun, as people dust off their Hazeltine tanks and start obsessing over the weather reports. So BlogDH has compiled a (preliminary) list of drank suggestions, with the help of Drinkify, that correspond to this year’s performers. Rage responsibly.
