Rihanna: the opening/chorus

Elton John: I tried to tell ya but all I could say was OH
Fergie: credit card declined, did I not mention I was about to lose my mind, etc.
John Legend: Turn up the lights in here baby, etc

I'm so confused
I saw the original Ong Bak, and it took place in modern-day Bangkok.

I assume after Black Swan the idea of making out with Ashton Kutcher for 6 hours a day and getting paid millions of dollars to do so probably seemed like a nice vacation idea.

Most people wouldn't, but Larry David would. He'd also probably break up with a supermodel if she ate her peas one at a time.

Well, shit
He's just been outed as a liberal. The world is in shock.

I agree about the Lynch comparison. Both Godard/Lynch (at their worst) are irritatingly detached and smug. Which seems to be what Bergman & Herzog were saying (although I can't find the Herzog quote in context, so I don't know entirely what he meant). Apparently Herzog is a fan of David Lynch though.

I love all of the '60s Godard that I've seen, but I caught part of In Praise of Love and it seemed so overwhelmingly pretentious. Maybe I should check out Notre Musique though.

Apparently he's still making movies?
Has anyone here seen a Godard movie that was made since 1980?

Walter has this fantasy that what he's doing is going up against heroic odds in the only possible way, when actually he's just grasping at making something of the life he knows he's wasted while hurting and pushing away everyone important to him. I think part of why we always stick with him is because we buy into that

Obama (so far): Failure
Bush: Fiasco
Clinton: Secret Success

I would literally *WATCH* all of those movies.

I would literally all of those movies.

Christ, that is nightmare material right there.

I'm sure that would be a quick re-write.

When I first saw Crash, I did like it. It was sort of like the movie version of a This American Life episode with the theme of racism. It wasn't overly deep, but it was enjoyable and had a number of memorable moments.

I agree - it sort of seemed like the review was implying failure on the movie's part for having departed from the light wittiness of The Queen and Frost/Nixon, which isn't really fair.

But whatever, it's the metric system so fuck it.

8 grams off
It's "21 grams" not 29

Color Commentary
Walked out… but then realized that offstage no one can validate them with attention. So then walked back on. Like children, or Owen Wilson.

The most ridiculous thing about all these bands was the way they simultaneously tried to establish themselves as (a) emotionally devastated emo men, and (b) super awesome party dudes.
