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.
Women can commiserate about how offensive this all is by reading Katie “No, not the Grantland writer” Baker’s thoughts on the matter here.
Two questions -
How many of you watch Game of Thrones?
How many of you would like to hear some random thought from me on a weekly basis over the course of the second season?
I don’t know how serious a GoT crowd this is so I figured I would ask before investing a bunch of time/energy
New Shins album. Their first single was pretty bleh but this song is great. Most of their line has been replaced and its now the lead singer’s vanity project.
This pretty girl in a movie once told me “The Shins will change your life”. She was not quite right but they are very good…
This deep rooted feeling makes for the strangest of bedfellows. When not drapering women across the state of Kentucky or feuding with his former proteges, Rick Pitino coaches the University of Louisville basketball team. They have, somewhat remarkably, had a huge Big East Tournament and pressed their way into the Final Four – the bazillionth time Pitino has made it. I mean everybody loves the white suits but Rick can be tiresome as well.
Somehow we think this dude is going to save College Basketball from the likes of John Calipari? Jeez…let’s get real. No one is more crooked than Coach K. Everyone knows this but he gets a pass. Everyone on the UNC team just declared for the draft ( I guess they were in a rush to play in the d league next year), no one gives Roy Williams a hard time.
You know what? I hope Cal wins the National Title and I hope all 6 of those guys enter the NBA draft and become millionaires. The pezzonovante of the NCAA can bite me and Cal.
While reading the incredibly long, but equally enlightening piece in the Times magazine about how the debt deal fell apart last fall, I was surprised that in a couple of passages the reporter noted that while interviewing Boehner in his office, he would take long drags from his cigarette. HEY! You can’t smoke in the Capitol building!
Well – that is only partly true. We can’t smoke in Congress, but our Congressmen can – just not in the public parts of the building. And that is your useless fact of the day.
The Mega Kabillion Jackpot is now at $363,000,000. And the odds of winning are 1 in 176,000,000. Tickets are $1. This is a no brainer. (Sparks will unequivocally support this fact with an expected value comment in the comments).
If we pool together $176,000,000, we will get $363,000,000. It doesn’t take a mathamagician to figure that out. PayPal me sometime today and I’ll pick up the tickets.
What the hell! The US has been eliminated from the Olympics before the Olympics even began? Good Gravy. How did this happen? Did we have to play a bunch of college kids (although a bunch of college kids beat the Russians at hockey)? Or does US Soccer give a flip about the Olympics, preferring not to put their stars in harm’s way? Or would the teams our stars play for not release them? How did this happen, and what could Obama have done to prevent it?
The inclusion of soccer made the Olympics 3x more interesting, but the elimination of the Americans just made the Olympics 6x less interesting. Booooo.
This week – Jessica Pare (I guess her character has earned a name – Megan) throws a 40th birthday party for someone doing a really lame sensitive imitation of Don Draper, lots of zany advertising stuff, ginger boobage(!) and some random racial tension to remind us it is the 60s! MORE after the jump…
