I Heart Huckabees

Great film, great end of bank holiday show for RTE. 

Kind of funny when you think about it, the Holy weekend that was in it, all about Jesus and whatnot, to be concluded by a funny and thoroughly existential movie such as I Heart Huckabees. No harm at all. The winning quality is in the little details in this movie, everything from the cutesy soundtrack to the imagination/dream animations, down to Wahlberg's brashness and Tomlin and Hoffman's idiosycracies. Jude Law is also excellent, a pretty different type of role for him. And as for the subject matter, right up my alley . . . one of my favourite movies of all time.

This gag reel is pretty good - check out Dustin Hoffman letting one rip. It belies a stranger working environment as witnessed in this video of director David O Russell going crazy at Lily Tomlin. Nasty.

Oh God Poor America

Okay, so Miley Cyrus wants to meet Radiohead backstage at the grammy's, 'cause they're like one of her like favourite bands like rock Gods and like she would just like cry and like stand out in the cold even if it was like zero degrees out just to meet them, but they said no thanks, "we don't do that". 

She says she's going to "tell everyone" and ruin them.

 

Radiohead spokesman criticizes her 'self of entitlement'.

She is, like, an idiot. Although I feel its not even all her fault.

Warning: following the link to the audio and listening to the radio piece may forever taint your opinion of the United States/the future of radio/humanity in general or at the very least Miley Cyrus.

p.s. - she closes her eyes when singing not because it means a lot but because its awkward like looking at people while you sing. 

really don't listen to it.
