“Zac tried to tell her she would look like a dork wearing the jacket inside, but Vanessa wasn’t having it and demanded someone fetch it for her.” That is maybe our favorite quote of all time. At the very least, today. Don’t believe us? Read it again. Think about the people involved. Then think about yourself. Then think about the people involved. Then read it, again… See?

Thought Nick and Norah’s was supposed to be vlogger Kat Dennings’ big moment, but whatevser. So welcome to the party, Ari Graynor! Also, that Alexis Dziena girl will be 50 (she’s 24) and still look like a porn-cross between Jon Benet Ramsey and Oxana Baul. Creeps! (via vulture)

“I’ve seen designer band-aids on girls like Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen and Blake Lively when they are strolling around town… Last week I was seated on a plane next to Kristin Wiig and she was wearing 15 of them. It was really a bit off-putting… Fashion types are known for wanting attention and I have no problem admiring someone’s style, but I refuse to give them my sympathy for a cut that probably doesn’t exist. I hate all forms of deception with a white-hot passion.” ~ Eva Mendes, white-hot passionate hater of all forms of deception and cinema idiot.

The Lawrence Welk Show, Mary Poppins, Mark Wahlberg Talks To Animals, Extreme Challenge (our favorite part of the show was Kristin Wiig’s reaction to winning the walking contest), Fred’s blog, and clips from the real Lawrence Welk Show.
UPDATE: Anne Hathaway’s Rachel Getting Married (which has an 83% freshness rating at Rotten Tomatoes) came in 27th place this weekend at the box office, pulling in only $303,000. Lobotomy-comedy Beverly Hills Chihuahua beat Eagle Eye, Nick And Norah’s Infinite Playlist, Flash of Genius, Blindness, and How To Lose Friends and Alienate People, among others, to come in 1st with… $29,000,000. For those of you that actually saw the movie, that’s twenty-nine MILLION dollars. As Gabe would say, whoops! We just killed ourselves.
UPDATE: Grambo says, “Don’t worry about Rachel Getting Married. It was only in 9 theaters and pulled in $33K per screen. Good numbers.”

“I have met only one man who I would back to be more outrageous than Toby Young, even though he is handicapped by not using drugs. His name is Jay Robert Nash. Those who know him would agree with me. He once walked into a saloon in a tiny mountain town in Colorado, where cowboys were not only drinking around the fire but had tethered their horses outside, and serenaded them with “Rhinestone Cowboy” and meant well by it. I saw this. It should be said that both Nash and Young are good fathers and nice men. I can’t speak for Crosby and Stills.” ~ Roger Ebert

Korean correspondent Divad Q. Nead forgoes Space Chimps in lieu of Leone’s
Duck, You Sucker, a.k.a. Fistful of Dynamite - we like the latter.
What comes is another glib gander at the film industry in crisis,
albeit this time he’s riffing on the minutiae of piss and ant hills.

This essay on the Criterion Collection’s incredibly advanced selection of Michael Bay’s new-classic asteroid Popcorn&America-orgy Armageddon is a couple years old, but, goddamn, it is awesome. (via rex/kottke)
You know who Michael Bay could appreciate? Diora Baird.

“Anne Hathaway has been reinventing herself on the red carpet as a confident, single woman who doesn’t care about that guilty, sleazy a-hole who lied to the Vatican so he could take her on exotic trips and buy her fancy jewelry.” ~ E!

It’s all so beautiful -and only a trailer- but it feels empty. Fincher is in the handful of top directors working today, so we’re going to bury that sad feeling, for now. Brad Pitt and his perfect leather jacket collection.
