The Social Network

Is it just me or does this movie look terrible?

Their ad campaign has been pretty brilliant. The teaser trailer with soundbites and words flashing on the screen is simple and straight forward and the new trailer uses a pretty fabulous cover of Radiohead’s “No Surprises,” which is worthy of double rainbow status.

Here’s the deal though, this looks like a made for TV movie. I half expect to see Patty Duke teaching Mark Zuckerberg a life lesson. Also, if this movie is a ploy to get me to sympathize with some Big Brother billionaire type…NO.

This is Patty Duke for those of you too young and/or too uncool to know. Patty Duke is the new pink. Is pink still in?

And this is the Radiohead trailer:

Reeshnack

Reeshnack: A combination of the words “reesh/beard” and “aynack/eyeglasses”. A term used to describe an attractive bearded man wearing glasses. This term coined by Aman Agah and Sadiqeh Agah.

Examples below:

Idris Elba as Stringer Bell - hot and villainous

Paul Rudd - dorky sexy funny

Christoph Waltz - pure class, also crazy good at playing a villain

Thom Yorke - Fine, they are sunglasses, but this is Thom Yorke.

Double Cities All the Way

Got back early this morning from two weeks in Oregon (Eugene and Portland) and San Francisco.

I know this is late, but Double Rainbow guy was a major highlight of the trip, mainly for myself and Krissty Jank.

Here’s a video of dude being interviewed by Jimmy Kimmel:

Here’s an even better interview with a CBS anchor:

And finally, the De Young Museum in San Francisco was kind enough to have this painting:

I am going to have limited internet access for the next few weeks/not care about anything internet related.

Miss me.

And look at this picture of me and Teejay. …Deep in thought.

Colin (Greenwood) posted this on Dead Air Space.

Are Thom (Yorke) and Phil (Selway) working on an art show? Are all of Radiohead in on this? How much are tickets to England? I am going.

And the award for best line in a movie goes to…

Taylor Lautner as Jacob Black in The Twilight Saga: Eclipse.

Jacob Black: I kissed Bella.
[pause]
Jacob Black: And she broke her hand.
[pause]
Jacob Black: Punching my face.
[pause]
Jacob Black: It was a complete misunderstanding.

(quote source: imdb)

Seriously, best line EVER. I want someone to break their hand trying to punch me in the face. Hell, I would even like to break my own hand on someone else’s face. What a great story.

Person: What happened to your hand?

Me: I broke it.

Person: How?

Me: Punching this really hot shirtless guy in the face.

Person: Why did you punch a really hot shirtless guy in the face?

Me: To break my hand. Duh.

why'd you cut your tuff hair buddy?

The lovely Heather Tompkins wrote me a super fantabulous intro.

Huge thanks to Heather for introducing me to Vanessa Ruiz and to Vanessa for welcoming me.
