Have you watched Rango? It's pretty great. The art direction was pretty amazing and it was fun for everyone. If Kung Fu Panda 2 deserves recognition in Best Animated Picture, than Rango does ten times over.
Oh yeah but other than that you're spot on.
It's all downhill from here. There is no topping that. Alas, I flew too close to the Sun, and now my waxen wings do melt before my eyes as I tumble back down to the world of +5's and +7's
When asked to judge Lana Del Ray's attractiveness, this is my thought process:
1. Her lips
2. What the fuck is going on with her lips?
3. Seriously can somebody help me with this because those do not look like human lips
4. Those lips are incredibly distracting right now
5. Everything else.
Wait, people think Lana Del Ray is attractive? I had no idea. Oh man I'm so out of the loop. At least my man-crush on Matt Berninger doesn't feel as weird.
Pretty cool. Creepy and mysterious and all that new-age Batman jazz. I think that Chris Nolan has a very particular feel to his movies, one that didn't really come across in this trailer. Just seemed like it was some completely different guy overseeing the whole thing. I guess we get the trailer we deserve, not the one we need right now.
This was the kind of problem I thought there was a few years ago, where your music "cred" was perfectly aligned with what Pitchfork was saying. As far as I was aware, the backlash against Pitchfork (ie the one calling music they promote "hipster" music) was far stronger than any residual coolness that Pitchfork might have left.
Although I'm not entirely sure you can blame Pitchfork for people at a Bon Iver gig who didn't know about For Emma. They were backing Justin Vernon long before Bon Iver's self-titled record came out.
That's exactly who I'm talking about, the unthinking sheep who base all their music purchases on whether or not Pitchfork like something, ie if Pitchfork like it, don't buy it, if Pitchfork hate it, buy it. It's an attempt to be cool through subversion, take something that's considered to be "cool" (not that P4K has been for three years but you get the point), aggressively oppose it.
"I hate this list, not because of the musical choices, but because of a number of imaginary crimes Pitchfork have committed, including being too hipster, being too mainstream, being too biased towards lesser-known acts and being too biased towards more established acts. Disliking Pitchfork is cool and therefore I have to be seen to dislike Pitchfork's music choices and loudly and quickly as possible"

As per Gabe's private request, I am not going to review this The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo review, and I would urge anybody else who feels the need to comment to please wait at least another week before commenting.
"You wanna know what I REALLY said at the end of Lost In Translation? Well I guess you are the President... I told Scarlett Johansson that I had naked photos of her and I'd post them on the Internet if she ever appeared in a shit movie. I woulda put them up quicker but it took me a year to get around to watching Iron Man 2."
I took a look at the actual source paper for this, and it showed that Fox News watchers consistently had the largest % of "don't know" answers. Which is strange because a Fox audience is stereotyped as aggressively opinionated, and yet it seems that they actually have no idea what they're aggressively opinionated about.
"So, Miss Johansson, what credentials can you show us that will convince us to let you direct our movie?"

"Yes, of course. Please direct all of our movies"
Anybody else pick up a Charlie Kaufman vibe from last night's Community? Chang playing Jeff playing the Dean, and Abed making a documentary of the filming of the commercial had a real Synecdoche, New York feel for me.
And some TV characters are too awesome to exist for only three seasons. If there's only one thing we learned from Cougar Town (and there is...), it's that every TV show needs a little Abed magic.
Why did I click that link? Why did I give this video one more view? Why do I continue to the legitimize the idea that Rebecca Black has a "music career" by leaving this comment?
Happy weekend y'all. It's a good night from me, and a good night from Dean... I mean Craig Pelton

...although the whole "nobody-knows-how-many-Best-Picture-nominees-there-are" gimmick could get interesting.
"So, how many nominees will there be?"
"1! Ah, ah, ah! 2! Ah, ah, ah! 3! Ah, ah, ah..."
WAIT. Do Americanians know that "fag" is a slang term for "cigarette"? Oh boy, you guys just missed out on a top*-quality joke** if you don't.

"Capu Flapu, did you not know that using Videogum after several rum and cokes can lead to comments with poor grammar? And may even lead to a severe case of putting-an-extra-word-where-no-word-was-needed-itis?"

The first three Harrison Ford milk ads were roundly praised by critics and the public, but the fourth, some time after the first three and featuring the disembodied milk moustache of Shia LeBeouf, was not embraced so kindly received
