We should all follow our dreams. And if Scarlett Johansson’s dream is to sing, than so be it.
So, without further ado, here is Scarlett in “Falling Down.”
It’s not horrible right? Not great either…. I don’t know what to make of it…..
Benicio Del Toro plays Che Guevara (The resemblance in the picture is unbelievable,) the Argentine who, together with Fidel led the Cuban uprising that brought Castro in to power, in a new movie. The 4 hours, Spanish speaking film was directed by Steven Soderbergh. The movie may be released in two parts titled “The Argentine” and “Guerrilla.”
“Cuba is less of an issue for me than Che,” said Soderbergh, “I think he’s great movie material is really what it comes down to. He had one of the most fascinating lives I can imagine in the last century.”
“Che” is considered a serious contender for the Palme d’or in the The Cannes film festival.
If you are fascinated by Che’s life like Steven Soderbergh, you might want to check the wonderful Motorcycle Diaries from 2004.
Dictionary.com: Zebra- Any of several horselike African mammals of the genus Equus, each species having a characteristic pattern of black or dark-brown stripes on a whitish background: all zebra species are threatened or endangered.
So, why do we like the Zebra so much? What’s there to love?
(This post is some sort of an experiment, I do apologize for it’s relative meaninglessness…)
I did a Youtube search for one of my favorite artists today and discovered that Ms. Spektor is doing the theme song for the new Chronicles of Narnia movie. It’s a big coup for the artist, whose music has graced many a Grey’s Anatomy/CSI episode over and over again, but has yet to venture into the lucrative, albeit potential shark infested waters of Hollywood.
Anyways, as we’re huge fans of Regina on this blog and were planning on sneaking a peak of the new Narnia flick this weekend (Note: Not the Sex & The City movie), I say a celebratory drink is in high order. However, given that it’s 5 PM and I have a night of work ahead of me, I think I might have to settle for a run to the local Dunkin Donuts…
So, we went to see Iron Man on Friday. In Hollywood’s saturated political environment, where “We are to blame for all the bad in this world” George Clooney style, it’s hard to avoid the agenda even in a movie like Iron Man. But other than that, it is a very enjoyable movie; Robert Downey Jr, Jeff Bridges, GwynethPaltrow and Terrence Howard are doing a very good job. So, if you like the genre, you are up for a treat.
Oh, and a very important tip: Stay in the theater for the credits, and wait until the very end!!!! You’ll thank me later.
Fans of Steve Carell got a double dose of Carell this week starting with an hour long season finale of The Office on Thursday night and winding down with a spectacular season closer to SNL last night. The highlight of last night’s episode being the clip below where Ricky Gervais, creator of The Office (the British one), introduces the faux Japanese version of the show. Kristen Wiig, always a crowd pleaser and Bill Hader, my own personal favorite SNL cast member did a smash-up job as Pam and Jim.
For those of you Office fans who can’t wait 5+ months to know if Michael really gets with Jan or if Dwight and Angela conceive a child from their amorous tryst (might happen with the storyline given actress Angela Kinsey’s pregnancy), NBC is cleverly offering fans some crumbs in the form of webisodes to be featured on their site mid-July. Most likely these mini shows won’t give us any insight into the cliffhangers we really want answers to (rumor has it these shows will focus on Kevin’s gambling addiction), but they might provide some much needed entertainment in a world of otherwise bland and unimaginative reality TV programming.
Lastly, be sure to catch Steve Carell in Get Smart this Summer. As a lover of Maxwell Smart and all things from Inspector Closseau to Gadget, the bumbling, idiotic detective routine rarely wears too thin, unless it involves ruining a perfectly good cartoon.
The “Sex & The City” PR machine is working so hard on promoting their film that it almost makes you forget how much of a shitty show it was, especially towards the end. And who has time to watch four middle-age women, strutting around acting like shallow and vacuous teenage girls, chasing 20-year-old dudes? Haven’t we had enough? Why won’t you watch “Indiana Jones” instead? At least Harrison Ford ages with grace…
There’s a new M Night Shyamalan movie coming out mid June called “The Happening,” with Mark Wahlberg. Looks promising, we’ll check it out soon.
Amy Winehouse is going to model in London Fashion Week in September. Designer Julien MacDonald wants to sign her because of her ” great style” and because ” She’s unique.”
Therefore, I ask again:
Much has been made of Jet Blue passenger Gokhan Mathu’s bizarre ordeal on board a Jet Blue flight back in February. Apparently the event jarred him enough that he hasn’t taken another flight since then.
Mathu was riding a Jet Blue buddy pass (equivalent of a free ride) when he was asked to switch seats - downgrade to the airplane’s toilet because there weren’t any available seats left on the flight. Mathu sat on the shitter for three hours before realizing there was something inhumane about this request, which supposedly came directly from the flight’s pilot. The pilot didn’t want one of the flight attendants to be inconvenienced by having to give up her own seat.
I don’t know about you, but what passenger in their right mind wouldn’t pitch a hissy fit over such treatment. I guess Mathu has finally had his say because he’s asking for $2 Million in damages. Hardly enough for such heinous (dare I say, “shitty”) treatment…
