The Linkozoic Era
Tuesday, March 8, 2011 at 12:01PM I didn't really intend for this linklist to be so long but the internet kept handing me enjoyable things this morning. Thank you internets.
Stale Popcorn "Olivia Newton-John swinging from a chandelier" This Aussie comedy just went to the top of my wish list.
My New Plaid Pants JA expresses jealousy, warnings and commendations for Amanda Seyfriend's uh, active, Hollywood dating.
IndieWire Deneuve gets a standing ovation at the premiere of Potiche in NYC.
Right here i had an article which talked about the dinosaur-rumor in Terrence Malick's The Tree of Life (2011) but it's been taken down. But here is a still of Brad Pitt in the movie anyway!

Boy Culture William Orbit thinks Madonna's W.E. is really good.
Playbill Kathleen Turner to host the Drama League awards
Coming Soon Dreamworks Animation schedule until 2014. Heavy on the sequels, duh. Between this and Pixar's sequel heavy slate, I feel certain that the second golden age of animation will soon end. Only originality can keep a golden age going.
I saw this on Blog Stage and had to share it. Nicole Kidman at 16 (!!!) promoting BMX Bandits. I love how she's so matter-of-fact about the actors not being good enough to do their own stunts.

i09 on scifi television and the mythical "Summer Glau Curse"
Towleroad Eeek. Blade Runner's replicants are not so far away. Here's a mechanical clone of a guy in Denmark
Alt Film Guide picks up the baton I'm always a-carrying. What the hell does Oscar have against giving actresses Honorary Oscars?
Go Fug Yourself readers votes are in and the single Best and Worst dressed at the Oscars is revealed. Their best is my worst! But their worst wasn't even at the Oscars so I feel like it's cheating.
Finally...
Daily Mail I love this story. The baby of one of The King's Speech producers dropped his Oscar. Hee. A film critic is born?

I thought the picture with the baby and Oscar was precious. I'm conflicted though, keep the original damaged one for memories or go the route he did? Hmm..
I actually thought the DreamWorks lineup looked pretty exciting. Five brand-new titles, one of which (Me & My Shadow) sounds fantastic. And then two of the sequels are to easily the company's best movies—Kung Fu Panda and How to Train Your Dragon. If anything, some of these sound more inspired than Pixar's forthcoming slate. Did you see the trailer to Cars 2? Yawn.
Nathaniel, did you hear that the Kennedy Center is bringing Uncle Vanya and Cate Blanchett to DC this August? I haven't found official confirmation yet, but several sites online report that (wait for it...) Jacki Weaver will be joining her. Woot!
A run in New York just after the one in DC is possible, just like what happened with Cate's version of A Streetcar Named Desire.
Michael Fassbender is what Christian Bale was three years ago. It's not gay for even straight men to want to sleep with him.
Damn, even at 16, Nicole is poised as ever. She seems so mature already.
I bet the baby was an Inception fan. She seems like that type based on the photo of her sleeping.
The host said is cold made him feel silly.
Well, that's a good place to start ...
I love how Kidman used the word 'difficult' instead of dangerous.
I saw BMX Bandits at a sleepover party in 6th grade, right before we watched Prom Night 2: Hello, Mary Lou. Who knew what an important moment that would turn out to be?
The damaged Oscar story is hilarious. It reminds me of the famous Glenda Jackson quotation---"That sums up the Academy Awards - all glitter on the outside and base metal coming through." Ridiculous to get that upset about it.
BMX Bandits is amazing. Should be a tutorial for people on the hows and whys of sound editing, that flick.
Also, I love that in the video there's DANNII FREAKIN' MINOGUE wearing her BMX helmet backwards. And I love that Nicole *still* has that dorky laugh.
AHH! Nathaniel!
I REALLY wanted to read that 'Tree of Life' story!!!!
:(
Break all of The King's Speech Oscars. Smart baby.
Wait... WHAT. There might be dinosaurs in The Tree of Life?!
Either way, I can't wait to see the NASA footage thing though.
