0h Gr8

In honor of the new year, I decided to update my blogpic, the first change I've made EVER to the design of TCRM. I want to thank you all for making this a great year and hope you'll continue to visit TCRM in '09.

Batman Must Be Stopped

In one year, The Joker and Catwoman have died. There can be only one explanation for this. Batman must be stopped.

Wes Anderson directs Brad Pitt in a Japanese commercial, a remake of 1953 French film “Les Vacances de Monseieur Hulot.”

Conan The Barbarian

Mongol General: Hao! Dai ye! We won again! This is good, but what is best in life?
Mongol: The open steppe, fleet horse, falcons at your wrist, and the wind in your hair.
Mongol General: Wrong! Conan! What is best in life?
Conan: To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of the women.
Mongol General: That is good! That is good.

Top 10 Songs of 2008

10. Deerhunter - Nothing Ever Happened / Times New Viking - Call and Respond

I'm liking these two bands sounds - they are probably the first bands that are my age and I really respect.

9. Erykah Badu - Soldier

Erykah Badu. Not only is this track fucking awesome, it is followed by another fucking awesome track on her fucking awesome CD, and not only does she live in my neighborhood, but she named her son, who she had with Andre 3000, "Seven." And we all know who wanted to name his son "Seven"...



8. Grouper - Heavy Water/I'd Rather Be Sleeping

I thought this song was pretty sexy. If I had to describe it, its like saying goodbye to your Portugese girlfriend on the beaches of Lisbon on a summer morning, and since there's really nothing else to say, you just eat Skittles together.

Side note: the sexiest song I heard all year was Todd Rundgren's "It Wouldn't Have Made Any Difference" which made me want to throw a roller skating party. If you haven't heard it, it deserves a listen.

7. Fucked Up - Son The Father

Really sad I missed the 12 hour concert this fall, the voices of everyone in this song sound amazing. They also seem like pretty cool people, the whole album is awesome.

6. The B.P.A. - Toe Jam

2008 thanks you very much, David Byrne. Wasn't sure why this wasn't the hit of the summer... but this video was delicious.



5. Magnetic Fields - Too Drunk To Dream/ Silver Jews - Candy Jail

These two hilarious songs are not only great, but they probably are not even the best songs on their respective albums, which are also fantastic. They also just prove that these two guys are not going anywhere anytime soon - they still pull out the hits.

4. Usher - Love In This Club

This song would not have reach this high if it wasn't 1) discovered that it was just two samples that came loaded in GarageBand and 2) lucky enough to have this music video. I think Usher is pretty fascinating and I think we can all enjoy this song on really any level.



3. TV on the Radio - Crying / Hot Chip - Ready For The Floor

These songs occupied the same space in my mind... I felt like the songs were so simple but were just nailed. Also very danceable, which will keep them relevant for far longer then they should be.



2. David Byrne & Brian Eno - Strange Overtones

This song was... just better than anything (except number 1). Byrne's voice is still the most interesting thing out there, I'm hoping we'll get to see more of him in 2009. Also his performance of Paul Simon's "I Know What I Know" at BAM this March blew Paul Simon out of the water.

1. Animal Collective - Water Curses

I hear this song and I feel like I'm listening to the future of music. Hands down best song of the year.

Add Seven Pounds to the Numbers List!!!!

From A.O. Scott's review...

Who does he think he is? Jesus! That last, by the way, is not an exclamation of shock but rather an answer to the preceding question, posed with reference to Mr. Smith. Lately he has taken so eagerly to roles predicated on heroism and world-saving self-sacrifice — see “I Am Legend” and “Hancock” — that you may wonder if he has a messiah clause in his contract.

And to close friends of mine, those of you who know about I CAN HAZ EYEZ, this movie literally involves Eye Transplant. I found this out literally just days after finding out that my other big idea in my pocket has come to fruition. At least they don't have the kickass name I came up with for the same service.

Thank You.... Variety?????

From Variety...

Nor can it be said that Smith, whose most recent box office barn-burners, “I Am Legend” and “Hancock,” seemed consciously designed to set the star apart from the rest of humanity, shies away from the saintlike status conferred upon his character. Indeed, he embraces it in a way so convincing that it proves disturbing as an indication of how highly this or any momentarily anointed superstar may regard himself.

"C'mon Daniel!"

danielson has sick roundhouse kick

I want this framed.

New Reason To Be Excited For 2009

I really not into "numbers" movies, so if this movie sucks (which, I mean, c'mon) it's definitely NOT Cage's fault.

And... why not....

Bad Numbers Movies

1. Number 23

Jim Carrey is one of the few movie stars whose presence can actually make bad movies worse.

2. Beautiful Mind

Wow, what if Jim Carrey starred in this movie instead of Russell Crowe. Sortof amazing to think about...

Some guy: So how about it, Nash? You scared? Russell Crowe: Terrified... mortified... petrified... stupefied... by you.

Now let me put an images in your head.

Some guy: So how about it, Nash? You scared?
Jim Carrey: TERRIFIED... MORTIFIED...
PETRIFIED...

STUPEFIED...
by YOU!!!!


Can't think of any others right now (U-571 doesn't count, not even sure if Beautiful Mind should really count.... I haven't seen Da Vinci Code), but comment if you'd like.
