Javier Bardem and Josh Brolin are this generation's Martin and Lewis.
Seriously, they should do an incredibly dour and miserable buddy flick together.
Possible title: 'Double J&B'.
Possible sequel if they move in together and have squabbles: 'Double J&B: On The Rocks'.
Australia has won an Oscar!!! Best animated short!
Stop looking at us and wondering how we got here fools and trolls. You can't understand it, so just enjoy the ride.

At first, I misheard the end of the ad as 'at Newton and on the BRIDGE' and got this fucked up image of them just chucking bodies of bridges. But then I was all like 'that's ridiculous' and I realised I was wrong.
And THAT is my heroic story.
I don't think they ever realised it would be universally panned. I think the entire premise was the world going 'wha? THE Joaquin Phoenix has gone crazy!'.
Cocaine. Hell of a drug etc...
Agreed. Great work Mrs. Becca's Mum.
I even just emailed my Mum to tell her about ravelry.com. I'm waiting for her to call me to thank me for the internet I sent her and tell me she doesn't want to join bookface for knitting.
So I’m sure this show is great, but can I just ask if anyone else got thrown by the ‘I know Gabe calls you guys nerds’ line? I mean, I know that Gabe sometimes calls us nerds but I got this flash of a vision of Gabe sitting around with other bloggers bitching about how he had to go back to the ‘blog mine’ the next day to toss down a few comedic table scraps to the yapping brats below.
What if Gabe doesn’t love us all equally the way a dad would? What if he doesn’t love us at all????
Virgin Suicides: Pretty white girls have problems.
Lost in Translation: Pretty white girl has problems.
Marie Antoinette: Pretty white girl has problems.
Somewhere: Pretty white dude has problems.
Colored folks is happy when they is woiking.
Just a REALLY GREAT film that my Grandma loves and, like Grandma, is apparently 'not racist when you consider the time in which [it] was created'.
There is so much to dislike about this book/film/philosophy. But I think the thing that shits me the most about this is the 'pray' side of it.
It is so completely disingenuous to imagine that a couple of weeks meditating in some way connects you to the depth of understanding, accrued over millenia, and the experience that a faith can offer. Religion is not something that can be simply sampled and be done with. Even if you don't believe in a god (as I don't) you can probably appreciate that there is a hell of a lot more to a religion than going through the motions for a couple of weeks. If there wasn't then they wouldn't have stuck around for so long.
I lived in India for a year and one of the things that drove me bonkers was the number of whiteys who flew over, spent a week smoking weed in Goa, a week in an Ashram in Kerala/Pune/Dharamsala and then headed back to London/New York to be merchant bankers. It's the equivalent of saying you read Hamlet because you read Cliff's Notes.
Fuck Elizabeth Gilbert.
With all due respect (so much respect) to the winners, how the hell did the 'Idi Amen' comment under the Christian Dictator post not make it in to the Ball?
It's the Christopher-Nolan-Oscar-nomination-for-Best-Director of this week's videogum comments. No good reason why it shouldn't be up in lights.
Um, can the world please chill about Ricky Gervais?
His Golden Globes yukk-yukks aside, I have never seen this guy make a joke that wasn't some veiled gag about homosexuals, fat people or the handicapped. In The Office he played a character who believed fucked up things and people laughed at the idea that a character could believe that. But after the first 10 minutes of the first episode, that element's kind of over and it's ultimately just him delivering fag jokes.
Have you ever seen his stand up? He's a biggot with good PR.
I actually live in Melbourne, home of both Bangs and RAED (our #1 and #2 rappers respectively), and I WILL NOT REST until I see the premiere for this film.
I don't know when it's 'comming' but I will definitely track it down.
I just liked the line 'when she gets to Washington it'll be cold as hell', ie 'Hell will freeze over before Sarah Palin is President' (but this will probably split the Republicans and force a third party candidate for the Tea Party, giving us 4 more Obamaneous years).
But on a wider level, can someone please explain to me as an Australian, removed from the day-to-day operations of US politics, what exactly she will be taking back? Obama's been president since January 2009. Are they taking it back for the Republicans? Because it hasn't been gone for very long. Also, the Republicans dominate congress so haven't they already taken back government?
There is so much not to get about Sarah Palin but that particular stumbling block trips me up every time I think about this.
This is all moot.
Hollyweird is creating the worst film of all time right now: Shakespeare in Love 2
(cf http://www.guardian.co.uk/film/2011/jan/02/hollywood-remakes-sequels-weinstein?INTCMP=SRCH)
Also, James Franco is directing the dramatisation of Blood Meridian (http://www.guardian.co.uk/film/2011/jan/04/james-franco-directing-faulkner-mccarthy). You know, for people who loved the book but wish it had more naked dudes.
Honestly, this film was a nightmare. I get that it's a fun romp but it didn't even make a tiny bit of sense. And I agree with everyone that this was the the crowning turd in this particular mound of shit:
