Apparently, I may have been slightly sexist in the last post. When you only have 4 visitors to your site, it is probably good to extend the olive branch. Here you go…

Sorry, random dancing is slightly more believable than people breaking into song.  I just couldn’t post a clip from a musical, I don’t think I will ever be that apologetic.

So, to convince guys that He’s Just Not That Into You is not a chick flick there’s this new marketing piece. The male stars of this film, Entourage boy, Mac boy and some other dude claim the film has none of the “10 Chick Flick Clichés,” a list they have graciously put together for you. 

First of all, if you really wanted people to know it is not a chick flick, you wouldn’t advertise it as such. Yet, you do because that is how you work, Hollywood. You pigeon hole shit so that it fits into your genre of choosing and rarely step outside the box in fear of disturbing your financial planning.

Secondly, I have read parts of the book and it is supposed to be a reality check for women. There are no secrets in it, the author didn’t rat his fellow man out. He simply tells it like it is and I just laughed when I read it. After he finishes telling reader the truth about her man, he tells her how she is going to justify that the book is right about some men but not hers . Then, he throws in a quote from someone in the situation to, once again, try to convince the reader that her man is like that. I didn’t see how this format could really be translated to a script, so I was uncertain about the film.  Now, that they released this video I am leaning towards a ‘No Thank You.’

I saw this one night and had a good laugh. I forgot about it until burdenday’s blog reminded me of it.

CHIMICHANGAS!

You’re Welcome. EVERYBODY.

Very cool stop-motion piece that is a great mix of animation and behind the scenes, along with a catchy tune.

I shared this on the twitter a while back, but I thought I would also drop it here. A great piece featuring the Fleet Foxes. For me, I am not much of a live music person. However, I prefer the live recordings of these guys over the produced stuff on their albums.  This is an interesting recording of them performing in an empty space. Read this for more about the recording.

It seems like every chick I have met, no matter the age, loves the Golden Girls.  I don’t know if they reran that show on Lifetime or something, but the ladies love the the postmenopausal Sex & the City. Apparently, so does Pistol Youth.

You ever have a dream like that? Where every person you meet is you? Really? Damn, you’ve got some ego.

This is all abuzz around the movie sites.

Adam Elliot has made a number of great claymation films. I thought I posted them, but it turns out they are on a DVD from an animation show that I have.  You can try and watch some of his shorts on youtube, cousin, brother and Harvie Krumpet.
