“No.”

“No.”
there were three films this season that I desperately counted on to deliver, those films being science of sleep, for your consideration, and flannel pajamas.
I felt science of sleep fell short because gael garcia bernal’s character, although very well played, was simply unlikeable. I couldn’t sympathize with him.
I felt for your consideration fell short because all of the characters, although expertly played, were too over the top and unconvincing. it would have been a so-so film made by anyone else but from christopher guest you expect a lot more.
I felt flannel pajamas had all the right pieces but just wasn’t put together as well as it could have. the performances were great, especially from julianne nicholson. maybe I’ll go see this again, though I’ll have to do it quick because it’ll be gone by the end of the week.
…I really, really enjoyed casino royale.
I can’t even remember the last bond movie I went to see in the theaters.
go to this one.
“what’s up? why haven’t you posted in in like two weeks?”
oh I dunno. I did see borat, but you’ve either:
1. seen it
2. heard about it on a million news sources
3. read about it on a million blogs
so I’m not gonna say anything about it… even though I just did. fuck.
though I am going (home) to lexington (kentucky) all of next week for thanksgiving! FUCK YEAH. it’s propsgiving time, folks. let the gravy rain, let the gravy rain.
what else? oh, I’m starting a new job after I get back from my trip. and before you ask - I don’t know if I get free subscriptions. my guess is no.
and lately I’ve been listening to brand new’s song “jesus christ” on repeat.
for your consideration opens tonight. gotta catch that shit, people.
was there ever a song you REALLY liked, possibly your “favorite song of the moment,” that was not yet officially released and was only available as streams off of the band’s myspace or purevolume page? lifetime’s “all night long” is that song for me right now. yes, I’m talking about that lifetime.
the kicker is this song is the b-side to their upcoming 7″ due out later this month (ie: less likelihood of its mp3 floating around). surely they must be doing this as a nod and a wink to their old school fans?
right now this song defines rocking out.
EXT. CHINATOWN - OUTSIDE OF NEW GREEN BO RESTAURANT - NIGHT
AJ, wearing an orange t-shirt and a black hoodie as his sole contribution for Halloween, waits for his take-out order of zha jiang mian outside New Green Bo restaurant in Chinatown. He is approached by a young couple who are clearly out-of-towners.
AJ
Yeah?
GIRLFRIEND
Can you tell us where we can find some sushi?
AJ is taken aback by this question. He wonders to himself, is he on Punk’d? These people really don’t know the difference between Chinese and Japanese food? He stares at the two of them for a few awkward moments.
CLOSE UP - AJ
GIRLFRIEND
But they have that here sometimes.
A quick montage of random people asking for sushi in Chinatown. The store owners all shrug or shake their head no.
BOYFRIEND
Do you know where we can find sushi?
AJ
Uh. The closest spots I can think of are in the East Village.
Do you know where the East Village is?
BOYFRIEND
I think so.
AJ
Okay, then try…
WIDE SHOT - OUTSIDE OF NEW GREEN BO RESTAURANT
AJ is giving directions with plenty of hand gestures. As the couple scurries away in their search for raw fish we see AJ shaking his head ever so disapprovingly. Just then, he is motioned inside the restaurant to pick up his order.
FADE TO BLACK.
