I’m serious. I know the haters hate it but holy crap its so amazing.
Check out the scene above. So many things make it awesome. The random body percussion. Watching Alison (daughter of Brian)Williams’s face shift from shy pleasure about having a song sung about her to horror and eventually anger. Jessa’s quiet pleasure at watching this whole. HAHHAAHAHAHA
BODY PERCUSSION!

My old lady and I went to watch Whit Stillman’s Damsels in Distress on Friday. The movie was fine even entertaining but not awesome. I spent the bulk of the cab ride home explaining to Et2 that Greta Gerwig is on the verge of really breaking thru as an actress and has a bunch more movies coming out. ET2 was not convinced.
I will say that the movie though entertaining made me wish I was watching one of Stillman’s earlier efforts for the first time. I have always considered The Last Days of Disco one of the underrated movies of the 90s. Just great dialogue and strong work all around and also a a very real launching pad for Kate Beckinsdale who was too hot for words for most of the movie.
Reading up on Coachella earlier today, I realized that ATDI had reunited and was like “Holy Crap!” and went trolling for video. Though not at their millennial peak…these guys are still pretty rock and roll. The Coachella video online is not as solid sound quality as this, a warm up gig in Austin a few weeks ago, but you can see thousands upon thousands of kids who were 14 year old post-hardcore nerds the first time they heard ATDI freaking the F out when these guys hit the stage.
People have been writing a lot about Lena Dunham’s “Girls” (which from the outside looking in presented itself as a sort of anti-Sex In The City and anti-Entourage…and given that I found both those TV shows at best dim and at worst insulting, just enough to pique my interest).
Getting caught up in the hoopla, ET2 and I decided to watched Dunham’s feature film debut Tiny Furniture this past Friday. Well, ET2 ended up watching and enjoying it. I drifted in and out of consciousness thanks to a Le Trois induced steak-coma…but what I did see was awkward and oddly compelling and worth investing in, especially if a few more attractive co-stars were to be included.
Hey guys, did you know that Whit Stillman had a new movie out? It’s called Damsels In Distress and it stars Greta Gerwig in a role designed for a younger Chloe Sevingy. MORE after the jump…
I may be a revolutionary but I'm an approachable one
Rejoice! On Easter Sunday, the NY Times Magazine has deemed Chile’s Student Organizer, Camilla Vallejo, the most glamorous revolutionary ever! Finally, socialist the we we like them…hot!
It’s like the 60s all over again. Someone get Francisco Goldman some pomade and a glass of Rye. Hey Francisco, Roger is looking for you. He needs you for the Mohawk pitch later today.
