• “Pirates of the Carribean: Curse of the Black Pearl” (the first Pirates of the Carribean movie) is really not that great. i was watching it this weekend and i realized that i didn’t remember a single scene from the movie. i’m not really eager to see the second one, either.
• “Talladega Nights” is an awesome flick. Sacha Baron Cohen was fantastic. Gary Cole does not get enough work. Judd Apatow gave the movie the 40-Year-Old Virgin treatment: it could have been crass and totally classless, but it handled the subject matter and potential pitfalls with grace and good-natured humor.
• the new woody allen movie “Scoop” is hilarious. scarlett johanssen is a great foil for allen’s neurotic persona. best line ever: “I was born Hebrew, but I’ve converted to narcisscism.”
• i definitely need to go back and listen to more music. things on the list of must-listen-to-soon: sondre lerche, snow patrol, muse, rilo kiley, the thrills, velvet underground, badly drawn boy.
• I finally found a new threadless shirt i like. it’s been a while since anything on the site caught my eye. it’s ridiculously cute and so wrong. now whether i should bust out my wallet and buy it is another story.
• aaand i leave you with one of my favorite music videos of all time (thank you, youtube!!).
