I Cannot Wait For Transformers 2

Look, some movies are not that smart. Some movies are not that innovative. Some movies are not going to win oscars, do not have trancendent acting work, and are not that well-directed. But the fact is, these mindless movies can be unbeleivably enjoyable. And the first transformers is probably my favorite mindless movie of all time. And the second one looks even better.

NEW JIM JARMUSCH

Well I'm kind of a poseur, seeing as I've only seen Coffee and Cigarettes, which everyone should watch anyway. But this looks promising.

Don't let Sympathetic Nazis Win Oscars (sorry Kate winslet)

Slate says don't let Kate Winslet as Nazi win an Oscar.

Republicans declare war on Obama

...according to blogger Andrew Sullivan. Read the piece here. Except for the melodramatic title, it seems to be pretty accurate, as well as pretty depressing. I don't understand how elected officials whose job is to be concerned with the welfare of our country can be so petty.

Natalie Portman is HILARIOUS

So I just started listening to the new Lonely Island CD. And Natalie Portman is on a song called Natalie's rap. And it's absolutely hilarious. And to make it even better I'm pretty sure Dr. Spaceman from 30 Rock is also on the track, albeit in a bit part.

I still can't figure out how to post mp3's but here's the link to the song on youtube. Let me know if you enjoy it.

UPDATE::

Here's the official video, censored. I think the song by itself might be more funny. But its definitely Spaceman.

Batman New ERA's

Someone get me one these jaunts immediately! No joke. They come out this month.

Teaser trailer for Tarantino's Inglorious Basterds

Inglourious Basterds Teaser Trailer
by ashbanner

Honestly, this is the movie I'm most excited about seeing this summer but this trailer actually made me a little bit worried for a couple of reasons. The basic plot behind Inglorious Basterds (and yes I'm spelling it right), is that Brad Pitt leads a company of brave Jewish soldiers to kill a bunch of Nazis. How could they screw that up? Well I thought they couldn't, but this admittedly (pretty much) worthless trailer has me a little worried. Firstly, two of the Jewish guys are played by Ryan from The Office and that little dude who thought he was asian from Not Another Teen Movie. Im not sure if these are the perfect characters to play Jews that might strike fear into the hearts of nazis and neo-nazis everywhere. Secondly,I'm starting to worry that watching Jews torture Nazis might not really be all that great, and because as of now the movie does not look half as stylized as I expected it to be it looks as if we might be forced to feel sorry for the Nazis? I'm sure this is all ridiculous and Tarantino will do as good a job as usual. After all, if in the trailer for Death Proof I had only seen the final scene where the girls kick the crap out of Stuntman Mike, I might have ended up feeling sorry for the crazy d-bag. That's why movies>trailers. So hopefully this somewhat underwhelming half-trailer means nothing but we'll just have to see in August. Or at least when the real trailer comes out.

Oh and I got the link from EW's popwatch blog

much too tired to add detail to this post but if you want to see a fuller version of the teaser trailer you can find it here: http://theplaylist.blogspot.com/2009/02/full-inglourious-basterds-trailer-goes.html

F******* Sh*T

the sopranos, uncensored. from victor solomon on Vimeo.

I wouldn't recommend watching every one of the 27 minutes of this but it's entertaining for a minute or so. What exactly do it be? Just every single curse ever uttered in the sopranos. If you ever watched the show it's a nice way to reminisce, if not I guess it could be a fun sort of way to vent some anger? Or not. Just watch two minutes, I promise, it's entertaining. Oh and I got it from the highly esteemed Smoking Section.

Great post on NBA predestination from Straight Bangin'

A wonderful thing to read while in a repetitive lecture on the Victorian era and right after learning about Leibniz's theory of metaphysical predestination. Because it's actually interesting.

Obama doing ok

There's an obvious problem with the image of Obama as messiah as was clear last week with the failure of Daschle. The left-slanting Slate tells us all the good things that have happened here.

Wu Mixtape from The Smoking Section

Haven't listened to this yet, but it's basically a bunch of Wu classics, some remixed stuff and some new stuff. The guy who did the mixtape is Dj Cannon Banyon, not someone I'm familiar with. but here it is.

Oh and those Wu shoes are by alife, they make awesome shoes.
