i haven't really been excited about a new movie in a while, mostly because i haven't been paying attention. (except for maybe Be Kind Rewind, and i didn't even see it.) today i came across a couple that could be interesting.. though probably not enough to propel me to a theater. i'm still getting over the waste of two hours that was I'm Not There.
- The Tracey Fragments, featuring the new miss thing, ellen page from Juno, but more importantly, a soundtrack by broken social scene. even if the movie sucks i'd be happy just to have new music from them. it also has all the other makings of an arty hipster classic: weird splitscreen shots, an unintelligible plot, dramatic yelling. so it may be a renter. sometimes i have a low tolerance for such things.
- Chapter 27. i only watched the trailer for this because the picture made it look like it starred jared leto as the sta-puf marshmallow man. (apparently he gained 60 pounds for the role. i smell an oscar! and chili cheese fries!) turns out he plays the guy who shot john lennon, and he thinks he's writing the next chapter of the catcher in the rye. (27, as it happens.) seeing as i don't really like the beatles OR holden caulfield i think i'll sit this one out and instead watch my so-called life and remember a time before 30 seconds to mars when the world made sense.
in a similar vein, scarlett johansson is releasing an album of tom waits covers. if it's anything like her singing at coachella last year.. do not want.

you missed the new ben stiller movie. tsk tsk. or is that too mainstream for you ;) Also, how can I make an asian smiley face where both eyes are squinting. Also, the word I'm having to verify is "xgayit"
