Michael Cera is the Coolest Kid

Not to mention...a lucky bugger too. He's in some of the best and most talked about movies of the last 3 years, one of the greatest television shows of all time and seemingly has a group of pretty rad friends. I'm sure I'm not alone in feeling like we could have gone to high school together and that's why I like him. He seems pretty down-to-earth, still kind of a loser, but that breed of loser when at some point they become the coolest loser at school. I dig.

Here he is in Islands new video for No You Don't.

The Road

The Road by Cormac McCarthy is by far one of my favourite books of all time and initially, I was hugely excited at the idea of a big-screen adaptation of it but now...after watching the trailer...I am a little concerned.
I didn't even watch the entire trailer because, honestly, I couldn't stomach it. Going from the very drawn out (in a good way) and intense (in a subtle way) style with which McCarthy tends to write...this over the top Hollywood trailer just didn't sit well with me.
Furthermore, the book never specifies what the "disaster" was and the role played by Charlize Theron was much, much smaller in the book.
I'm undecided as to whether or not I will go see this movie. I'm slightly disappointed that the film seems to not have the same ambiance as the book...whatsoever.

In other news...since I feel like a pirate today I decided to post a Gogol Bordello video. Gypsy, pirate, all the same for today.

"Wonderlust King" from the 2007 release Super Taranta! on SideOneDummy.

Film Friday!

How To Be. Directed by Olver Irving and starring Robert Pattinson. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Twilight was awful...but I have a feeling Robert Pattinson is going to have a long career ahead of him and we'll look back on Twilight as that awful movie that started his career.

Twistee Treat. Directed by John Herzog. Potential!

That's all for today. I have to get back to working on work things.
Enjoy your weekend!
