As Far as Cute Movies Go, Juno is Boss





Juno (the tiniest pregnant girl I could ever imagine and Ellen Page) has a loving family and friends. Paulie Bleeker (Michael Cera) loves to run in sweatbands and be funny (both intentionally and not). Mark and Vanessa (Bateman and Garner) want Juno and Bleeker's baby. Its cute when its sad and perfect when its happy, see it with a friend, with a soda and see it this winter.

Elbert Ventura from Reverse Shot didnt like it. here;s why. he hates hipsters even less than he hates almost-hipsters. its not this year's Little Miss Sunshine

Encounter #18:
Killing Your Family Never Seemed So Easy: Before the Devil Knows You're Dead






What I mean to say is that killing your family is ugly. And this is a boring movie that makes the murderous acts feel somehow justified. Brothers Hank and Andy, father Charles (Ethan Hawke, Philip Seymour and Albert Finney) are all good actors, and act well in this. Marisa Tomei is naked most of her time on screen (she has the body of 22 yr old, in a good way). Opening scene? P.S.H and Tomei fucking doggy-style in a Rio hotel room with full body mirrors surrounding. I cant say this movie didn't show promise.

regretfully negative >>cb

Encounter Bill Clinton?


Because im an odd creature of pop-culture i read all the magazines on the stand at my local liquor store. _GQ_ is one of them (Kanye is on the cover). It is the Men of the Year issue featuring Kanye, Weezy, Casey Affleck, Seth Rogen, other good looking or talented (or both) dudes ... and Bill Clinton. I read the article, it made me cry. _GQ online_ only provides an interview that is not even good. read it if you like. But go buy this month's issue and enjoy.
http://men.style.com/gq/features/full?id=content_6198

Note: this recommendation comes from a guy who knows nothing about politics, world affairs, Bill Clinton, Africa, AIDS, etc... I dont say this with pride, just to display that the article is not only working on the level of what it discusses, but how (seemingly) perfect it portrays the more than fascinating former President Clinton.

Jay discusses his inability to retire and does his best K. West impersonation on stage

He really is far more clever than most rappers on late night shows. I guess thats quite apparent given he has a three minute sit-down with Dave before his performance. Look at the way his sleeves are rolled up, his little backwards shoulder thrust, Jay knows Kanye sells (and it seems Hype thinks that, too. check Lupe's new video)





Here's Lupe's _Superstar_ video:

Cary Grant, Archie Leach, idol, symbol, wild and crazy guy.

badass, too

Everyone wants to be Cary Grant. Even I want to be Cary Grant. I have spent the greater part of my life fluctuating between Archie Leach and Cary Grant, unsure of each, suspecting each, pretending to be someone I wanted to be, and, finally, I became that person. Or he became me.
