Late December, 1963...

looks very good.

Here's a cool-looking trailer for the new J.J. Abrams show, coming in August.



The best part? Lt. Daniels/Matthew Abaddon (Lance Reddick) is in it!

It's nice to catch J.J.'s eye. Once there, you're always there. The Wire's cast is everywhere these days.

PS: I would be nervous about Joshua Jackson's involvement, except that J.J. made Matt Fox cool. I trust him.

just watch it, please

MGMT - "Time to Pretend"

This is the second best single of the year, behind "Hitten".

Well, Punch-Drunk Love initially scared me too

So, the other day I stumbled upon a piece of film info that pretty much stunned me:

David Gordon Green is directing Pineapple Express.

...the fuck?

This is like Linklater doing School of Rock, except even more bizarre.

David Gordon Green is supposed to be "the Terrence Malick of our time," and he's directing a pot head action comedy written by Seth Rogan.

Is this gonna be an Inside Man/Spider-Man style meeting of auteur and pop? Or is this just David Gordon Green unable to get other work (say it ain't so), or are Green and Apatow just boys?

Take a look at a couple of examples of David Gordon Green's back catalog to understand my confusion.




The opening scene of George Washington



The trailer for All the Real Girls

Anyways, yeah, you all can figure that out on your own. Maybe he's just trying to prove that he can make money with a movie. That sometimes produces a director's best work.

GREAT Mountain Goats song

This is one of my favorite songs of his ever. God it's good.

Best Single of 2008

Those Dancing Days - "Hitten"

So, this video just got a release as a single, officially. It was on Those Dancing Days' s/t EP from last year, but now it's getting an actual release.

It's genius. Listen to it. Please.

Wonderfully written scene

Brilliant shit.

Elizabeth Banks is fucking Seth Rogan

And with this, Kevin Smith's entry into the canon, the "I'm fucking ___" video trend has become the best thing Sarah Silverman has ever contributed to the world.
