Movie Tarts: June 2011
My most anticipated movie of June 2011: Super 8 (06/10) - It's here! Finally! Since I saw the teaser trailer in the theaters 7 years ago, I've been so excited. (It feels like 7 years because "J. J. Aberg" decided to tease everyone like a year too early.) I suspect that this movie will be a modern ET, but with a scary alien. But the thing that makes me most excited about this movie is the big role of Coach Eric Taylor (Kyle Chandler) from Friday Night Lights. (One of the best TV shows ever.) Congrats Coach!
My second most anticipated movie of June 2011: Page One: A Year Inside The New York Times (06/24) - This documentary is from the people who made Waiting for Superman, An Inconvenient Truth and Food, Inc. I loved two of those three. (Guess which, duh?) In a world where it feels like technology and the printed word are giant tectonic plates fighting for position, this film gives you a front row seat while the two clash.
X-Men: First Class (06/03) - Of all the different stories and sub-plots involved with the X-Men series, why in the world would they choose the boring history between Magneto and Xavier? Not only is it the most unexciting part of X-Men, but they have already explained it in previous movies. Those are my trepidations about this movie. But I think it will be exciting like X-Men Origins: Wolverine was, but I fear it will be the birth-child of X-Men 3, easily the worst of the series.
Beginners (06/03) - Since Brokeback Mountain, it feels like movies surrounding homosexual themes have "broke" (ha) into the mainstream. This indie-feeling drama starring Ewan McGregor and Christopher Plummer is about a man who has gone through some difficult relationships finds out his widowed father is gay. Also there is a dog that talks through subtitles.
Submarine (06/03) - Story of an adolescent teen who struggles with his identity. And girls.
Green Lantern (06/17) - I like Green Lantern. I like Ryan Reynolds. Why am I not really excited for this movie? It might be the over-saturation of super hero movies recently, or the fact that this movie was speculated about for so long. It's like when waiting for your name to be called at a restaurant and you're starving. By the time your name gets called, you aren't that hungry anymore.
Cars 2 (06/24) - I didn't really Cars 1, so I am not too excited for this unnecessary sequel. It was only slightly better than Up. (Don't agree with me? Bring it on in the comments!)
Bad Teacher (06/24) - The cast seems great and the story seems good, too. I like seeing Jason Segel in movies more. But I am just not attracted to this type of movie. Since it's rated-R, I have a feeling it is going to be overly raunchy. I'm just not going to be in the mood for that. (How can they release a rauncy flick AFTER The Hangover Part 2?) Also, I suggest watching this and then watching Waiting for Superman right after. (haha)

Owl and Cat BFFs
Before you watch this you must know I only posted this for my cat-lover friends.... As cute as this video is, I would much rather see the owl swoop down and eat the cat.

Air Traffic Controller at Reagan National Airport Falling Asleep
This is the only video I've found with a person who understands the risks that were involved with what happened at Reagan National Airport. No one was at risk on those planes that landed without tower assistance. Perspective is what is needed here. I agree wholeheartedly with the guy (Steve Wallace) in this video. The controller that fell asleep should get suspended and his actions were dumb, but no one should fear flying because a couple of planes had to land at an "uncontrolled airport." Thousands of planes take off and land everyday at uncontrolled airports. Even busy airports.

Sadly, this is the best quality video I could find. If you find a better one, let me know!

"Just Breathe" - Pearl Jam
I heard this song and instantly loved it. It's by Pearl Jam, too! They are back with a 2010 album!

Typography/Motion Graphic #8 - SOTU
CNN did an awesome job (and surprisingly entertaining) graphical recap of President Obama's State of the Union address from yesterday.

Song Mash-up #9 - "Sweet Mountain High" The Temper Trap/Marvin Gaye
One of my favorite songs in recent years has been The Temper Trap's "Sweet Disposition," and the quality convergence of Marvin Gaye's "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" with it is really fun.
