This is a bizarre, yet strangely entertaining music video by Vampire Weekend. (I was terribly wrong when I said they would be one-hit-wonders. I'm sorry!)

Song Mash-up #8 - Radiohead Plus Facebook
So this week's mash-up is a little different. It's not a mash-up of two songs, but of a song and a movie (well, movie trailer). This trailer for A Social Network is one of my favorite trailers of all-time, and it is because of the perfect use and perfect placement of Radiohead's "Creep" performed by a choir. Check it out.

Favorite Movie Scene #7 - It Might Get Loud
My sister-in-law's husband Mark showed me this documentary a while back. It's called It Might Get Loud. It features the guitarists from The White Stripes (obviously), Led Zeppelin and U2. They get together and jam and talk about their lives and their music. It's a decent doc.
Disney Recycles Dance Moves!
This is an awesome video that shows how Disney just uses the same movements in dancing scenes of various movies over and over again. It's very interesting.

Movie Tarts: January 2011
Welcome 2011. Bring us some good movies, please. Especially this summer... Because, frankly, January's lineup is weak sauce. I can only find three movies I have a remote desire to try out.
My Most Anticipated Movie this January is: The Way Back - Yeah, I know, Colin Farrell is in this and it's my most anticipated movie?? I couldn't believe it either. Despite Colin's terribleness, the movie is directed by Peter Weir. You might know him from directing: Master and Commander, The Truman Show, and Dead Poets Society. It also stars a young man I think will be a very well known actor one day - Jim Sturgess. He starred in one of my favorite movies (#23 on my flickchart.com) - Across the Universe. He might be better known for one of his merely decent roles in the highly publicized "21." But I think The Way Back will make him a more known star because he deserves it. I project a B-. (01/21)
My Second Most Anticipated Movie this January is: The Green Hornet - This is a strange movie and I'll tell you why. First off, it's a super hero movie starring Seth Rogen. Weird. Second, Jay Chou (the Chinese guy) has never been in a movie titled with only English words and so it's strange that his first is a high-budget movie starring a big movie star. Pretty Weird. And third, this movie is directed by Michel Gondry (who I love, but most people don't). He is the director of such movies: Be Kind Rewind (2008), Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004), and The Science of Sleep (2006). (Also he directed an episode of cult-fav TV series Flight of the Conchords). Ultimately, I think this movie will be okay. I think enough Seth Rogen will make it funny and enough cool gadgets and cars will make it testerone-y enough. I'm projecting a C+. (01/14)
The Company Men - New Release Date (01/21) See my opinion from back when it was supposed to be released...here.
Barney's Version - This stars two phenomenal actors - Paul Giamatti and Dustin Hoffman. The trailer for this film makes me worry about it's style and direction, but the quality of actors and the amazing story pulls me in.

Comics #105
Two new-to-me web comics I found. The first one is called Perry Bible Fellowship and the other is fittingly called Indexed.
