Fearless. I just watched this and hey, woah, it was fantastic. Jeff Bridges plays an unfeeling, truth-telling plane-crash survivor who doesn’t fully become himself until the end of the movie. The cinematography is superb throughout. The airplane crash scene itself reminded me of something from 2001: A Space Odyssey, but with actual meaning. Honestly, I don’t know why this film isn’t considered a classic. Hooray!
We ask Jack McBrayer, who plays the sunny Kenneth on 30 Rock, why he looked happier than most of the night’s winners. “I still can’t believe I’m invited to these things,” he replies with a giant grin. “It’s a hoot.”The Golden Globes: Vulture’s Behind-the-Scenes Party Time Line (via peaceintheshadows)
Pitchfork: Mountain Goats’ John Darnielle Talks New Album So so so excited!
The Fisher King. Watched this last night. Jeff Bridges looks so young. Do not trust IMDb when it says there are only eight occurrences of the f-word.
Mountain Goats releases by date
I’m attempting to add “release date” information into my iTunes library. That is, instead of just notating a “release year”, to also include month and day. It’s a big undertaking, and it’s surprisingly difficult to find release dates for a lot of albums before, say, 2005. I remembered this thread at the Mountain Goats forums where all the members put their heads together to make a list of release dates. They feed my OCD: just another reason why I love the tMG community.
