I’ve just seen the Spike-centric episode of Buffy. Oh its a goody! I think 70s Spike is the most hilarious thing I’ll see today.

Jason Schwartzman, Rivers Cuomo AND Dwight Schrute together at last... In March 2009

Someone send me the mp3 of this interview! I can’t last another day without it!

I’ve been listening to Coconut Records a lot this morning. You may think I only like them because they are Jason Schwartzman’s band, and you’d be right.*

My top 3 tracks are:

Microphone – Because this wouldn’t sound out of place in a Wes Anderson film & he knows it!

The Summer – Not to be confused with the rather boring ‘Summer Day’ from the first album

It’s Not You, It’s Me – This one gets lodged in my head a lot.

*Because even though I like it on its own merit, I wouldn’t have heard it if not for him. And if I had to make a criticism it would be that it sounds a bit too much like The Shins… Who I also like.

Zombieland Premiere

Ritchie Tenenbaum got fat?

NO WAY!

This mornings playlist:

Fri, 25 Sep 2009 06:54:52 -0400

I Feel It All - Feist

I usually get rage when I hear twinkly, cutesy, girl solo artists but this morning I heard this and felt quite uplifted.

Eye - Smashing Pumpkins

It turns out Billy Corgan knows me better than I do.

Lemmings - Blink 182

I used to think this song was a condemnation, now I think its quite encouraging.

The Ice Is Getting Thinner - Death Cab For Cutie

I’m convinced I’ve gone a bit emo today! (and judging by the next one I definately have)

Pretty Girls Make Graves - The Smiths

#I could have been wild and I could have been free,
But Nature played this trick on me #

DOLLHOUSE SEASON 2 STARTS TONIGHT!

Fri, 25 Sep 2009 03:27:05 -0400

But I have to wait until tomorrow morning for my next hit of Joss Whedon goodness.

Fucking Hell America, can you just make Hulu available outside the US?

God knows you can’t gather ratings based on people watching live broadcasts these days anyway. Most people download or stream their favourite shows because its more convenient, and it isn’t regionally (or continentally) contained.

Theres no point holding back so that you can sell tv shows to other countries, because the people who want to see a show before its broadcast in their neck of the woods will always see it anyway. You’ll still be able to sell your wares on to the undeserving masses, don’t worry.

So unregionalise Hulu please. I would like to watch Dollhouse tonight with all the fat yanks. Don’t make me be a pirate.

I have changed my mind drastically since last night. My favourite song from Dr Horrible is actually Perfect Story.

If only for the lyrics:

“This is so nice, I just might sleep with the same girl twice, they say its better the second time, they say you get to do the weird stuff”

Dr Horrible himself satisfies my craving for the gorgeous, dorky Joss Whedon stereotype (just face it, Xander - Buffy, Wash - Firefly & Topher- Dollhouse, might as well be the same character) so it doesn’t bother me too much that Nathan Fillion got buff for Captain Hammer… but do the big arms gross anyone else out?

I watched Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog for the millionth time tonight, I think Slipping is my favourite song.

I love NPH, he dosn’t afraid of anything.

Bring Your Own Bunny at Japan's rabbit cafe:

I just love the ‘And Finally’ section of the news.

Its the only part worth watching in my ignorant, uninformed opinion.

Copying and Pasting of Director’s Talent?

Thu, 10 Sep 2009 05:41:00 -0400

Copying and Pasting of Director’s Talent? :

I sense the animator quoted in this article is a little bitter. He suggests that Wes Anderson may not have actually have been the omnipresent God that you’d expect on the set of Fantastic Mr Fox.

I remember reading an article about the making of The Nightmare Before Christmas a few years ago which said Tim Burton was hardly there, probably because animations are generally so heavily story-boarded that you can concentrate more on other areas of production? But what do I know. I’m pretty biased on this, I’d stick up for Wes if he got face fucked by a minor through a glory hole.
