1987, Fatal Attraction, Glenn Close’s character makes Michael Douglas’ character a spaghetti dinner in her white on white on white New York City apartment. Opera blares from the stereo as he uncorks a bottle of wine. He wears a blue button-down shirt and a navy-blue cardigan, with the sleeves rolled up. Clearly, he is living the good life.
Later that same year, 1987, Wall Street, Daryl Hannah’s character makes Charlie Sheen’s character a spaghetti and sushi dinner in his newly renovated, faux-demolished New York City apartment. Opera blares from the stereo as he uncorks a bottle of wine. He wears a white button-down shirt and an argyle cardigan, with the sleeves rolled up. Clearly, he is living the good life.
Can’t believe we missed this on tv the other night, but we kinda think we may have missed it on purpose. (Thanks, brains!) Point, if you’ve seen one Comedy Central roast, you’ve seen ‘em all. Right? They’re sad and cruel and mostly, painfully unfunny. Which brings us to the bright shining ray of truth that is Norm Macdonald. Videogum has the smarter chatter, but nutshelled: Norm MacDonald just restored our faith in comedy. Bravo and hallelujah! Oh, and fuck you, Pineapple Express.
Her new album comes out November 18th and features Britt Daniel of Spoon (produced two songs and co-wrote one) and Brian Karscig of Louis XIV (produced 10 songs).
“This slight-looking but weighty film has ambitions that are intense pleasures and failures that are almost majestic. Beautifully cast and acted, smartly written, done with excruciating care and glowing Roger Deakins cinematography, it’s a film that, in some ways, suffers from its own seriousness, the very passion and guts that make it special.”
~ Michael Wilmington
“Ed Solomon, who wrote and directed, has stolen two hours from the lives of everyone who sees the film, and weeks from the careers of these valuable actors… When this film premiered to thunderous silence at Sundance 2003, Solomon said he had been working on the screenplay for 20 years. Not long enough.” ~ Roger Ebert

“We wanted to do a send-up of those Method actors who become anorexic and dysmorphic when they get parts, you know, live the role, pluck bald spots out of their hair.” ~ Justin Theroux
Nicole recently informed us that she is going to move on to another area of opportunity. With the start of restructuring and process initiatives, Nicole felt that this represented the right time for her to pursue this change. We have appreciated Nicole’s strong to very strong work ethic and upbeat attitude during her time here at Goldenfiddle. She will be in the office until Friday, August 15th and has offered to be available by phone after that, if further questions arise. Please join us in wishing Nicole the best in her future endeavors.

(The can of beans is just to show scale. Please don’t read anything in to it. There’s absolutely no correlation between Hills beauty Audrina Patridge and a can of delicious La Sierra refried beans with chipotle. None.)

Six Degrees: You’re best known for being the gorgeous brunette on The Hills, yet in a picture of you as homecoming queen you have blonde hair. Were you bleaching your hair at the tender age of 15?
Audrina: No! That’s my real color. I’ve been dying my hair and eyebrows darker since I was 18.
“Velvet Revolver, you say? Hmmm. I have an anal bleaching/tanning session at 2pm, scrotal rejuvie at 3:15 and a hair tousling appointment with Chad at 4:30, but anytime after that would be splendid, I’m sure!”
At one point, Downey’s Lazarus says, “I know who I am. I’m a dude playing a dude disguised as another dude,” which is a perfect line for Downey to have to deliver, because in a sense, his own identity, and who he really is, has long been up for grabs. Only two years ago, he looked at himself and his situation this way: “I’m not an actor. It’s my day job, and I learned how to hustle it really good. [But] it’s a hustle. I got some fuckin’ juice, man, I got some tools… . I learned some shit. I learned shit on the streets. It was providence, dude, and proximity to where I could get my grift on… . This is fuckin’ gypsy heaven, dude — there’s a million suckers out here.”
Let’s just get this out of the way. Laddies and webboys, her name is Emma Frain, and she’s the budding, busty, Brit babe on the magascene. Her look is a little Jodie Marsh, by way of Maggie Gyllenhaal and the tanning bed, so she’s no Keeley, Lucy, Michelle, Seren, or Sophia. However, Lady Frain has zero problem with losing her kit for the camera, so you shouldn’t have a problem with it, either. (nsfw)

“Hell, he has things goin’ on all over the place. The magnitude of the things Ben had his hands on, and the grace and the dexterity, –I’m like, ‘Dude, how are you not blowing a gasket?’ He loves it. No doubt. The guy’s not working to retire. That’s for sure.” ~ Matthew McConaughey
