Throw Some Rice, Share Some Link
Monday, August 29, 2011 at 3:10PM Before we begin today's news roundup, we must throw some rice. From The Godfather we know that the Coppola's can throw a hell of a wedding. Wish the newlyweds well: Mrs and Mrs Sofia Coppola / Thomas Mars.

IndieWire 10 things that festival season will tell us 'bout the awards race
Twitch Film has the trailer to the new Hrithik Roshan epic: color, musical numbers, tons of violence. Bollywood always goes all out.
And no, I'm not sharing The Hunger Games teaser which you can see on roughly 93% of all blogs on the internet today. Someone's gotta take a stand for their .0000000000001% of the film blogging world! Basically Jennifer Lawrence runs through a forest while we learn in narration that she's good at hunting. Then she fires an arrow at the logo. That's it. Search for it yourself if you're a slave to movie marketing. Seriously, that movie: Calm down! I've never felt this exhausted by a movie trying to become an event before. It will probably work which is why movies spend so much on P&A but wouldn't it be cool if audiences got to decide which films were events AFTER SEEING THEM.
just for fun

Omg the Britney tribute... it was nice with the kids dancing because Britney loved it and she interacted with Gaga well but they segued SO QUICKLY to Beyonce. But Britney was probably given the option to make a speech and decided not to haha. She's never ever been good at awards show speeches. Ever. So she probably just wanted to cut the cameras over to Beyonce.
And congrats to Sofia Coppola!!!
Sofia is just pure class. Look at her in her cute lavender Alaia (Ever since Clueless I forever want to say: an A-whata?) Everything about her wedding looks so softly art directed like in her movies. To all those ho starlets that make a big deal of their vapid princessy weddings, watch and LEARN!
