I'm A Sinner / I'm A Saint / I Do Not Feel Ashamed

Suggestion of the week: If you've got an extra 50 euros to spend on a spa treatment in Austria (so there's that bit of fine print...), why not get the "Hildegard von Bingen steam bath (with fine amethyst crystals)" at the Kitzbühel Royal Spa or Schlosshotel Fiss?

Part II: at first I thought this was a joke, but it's a REAL MOVIE that's actually making the theater rounds right now. Plus the trailer will fill your intensity quota for the day.

Bullies Used To Pick On Me Because I Sang In Choir

Sometimes my strange search results pay off. Yes, yes, that's right. It's an episode from "Batman: The Brave and the Bold" featuring Neil Patrick Harris singing his heart out as the evil villain who controls men with his dulcet tones, The Music Meister! Brought to you by Fridays, mornings, and the letter M.



(ps. Depraved-Orpheus? Power-of-music? I'm not going to go there, but now you're going to think about it.)

Title and Registration

I may have mentioned this once or twice or seventeen times, but I can't wait for this movie to show somewhere I can see it.

"Untitled"
directed Jonathan Parker

A fashionable contemporary art gallerist in Chelsea, New York falls for a brooding new music composer in this comic take on the state of contemporary art. Adam Goldberg (Two Days in Paris) plays the composer, whose work calls for paper crumpling, glass breaking, and bucket kicking. Marley Shelton (Grindhouse) plays the gorgeous Chelsea gallerist, whose latest show features an artist, played by Vinnie Jones (Snatch), who employs taxidermy and household objects. Further complicating the affair is the composer's brother, played by Eion Bailey ("Band of Brothers"), whose highly commercial artwork - the financial backbone of the gallery - is sold to corporate clients discreetly out of the back room.

(And a score by David Lang.)



If you see it before I do, I'd like a full report please.
