Brad Pitt + Shiloh = L
Brad & Shiloh
If you haven’t been living under a rock, you have heard that Angelina has given birth to Brad Pitt’s girl/boy twinset. Yet I’m not a fan of Angelina Jolie. Perhaps I resent her for being beautiful, talented, philanthropic, stealing Brad away from Jen (yah, their marriage was conveniently falling apart while he was playing Angelina’s husband in a movie?…sure) and hopelessly bound to Brad Pitt by way of SIX CHILDREN. I also have this nagging suspicion that in the back of Brad’s mind he wanted to create the most beautiful children in the world. He was well aware that joining his golden gametes together with Angelina’s, even more so than Jen’s, would create the platinum gene pool. And this success is seen in Shiloh Jolie-Pitt. We won’t have an idea of what the twins really look like for a while, but I don’t think they will hold a candle to Daddy’s Little Girl. And whenever she breaks away from the multicultural gang and is photographed with Brad… I feel the same warm happiness I feel when I look a litter of puppies.
“Pineapple Express” television spot
Seth Rogen being amazing as always. Drug references. M.I.A’s “Paper Planes”. Craig Robinson (Darryl from “The Office” and the bouncer from “Knocked Up”) being hilarious. Seth Rogen looking like the flying squirrel at 0:21 seconds. Gary Cole cameo even though I only recognize him as Lumbergh from “Office Space”, which always gives me a tickle. Realizing how good looking James Franco is despite playing a greasy stoner. When the guy says “Thug liiiife ((click click))” at 0:19 seconds. Even if it’s another Judd Apatow hit-and-miss… he’s managed to put together a collection of things I like, and air them all together in one 0:33 teaser trailer. Mazel Tov.
New Season of “Entourage” Promos
In typical Corrin fashion, I’ve joined the legion of “Entourage” fans a heaping five seasons into the series. Maybe it’s because I don’t have HBO or I don’t religiously watch T.V., but I had usually found myself only watching Entourage on those late nights at someone else’s house, when I wasn’t of sound mind or body. Thankfully, I have HBO OnDemand in my New York apartment this summer, and I’ve had the good fortune of catching up. As you have known/heard/suffered, the show is addictive. For no specific reason other than… it’s just cool. The dialogue isn’t hilarious or clever, the plot doesn’t keep me at the edge of my seat and neither Adrian Grenier nor Kevin Connolly are particularly convincing actors. But still, at the end of each episode, all I think is “Hah, bad ass.” And to reiterate my point, the teaser promos for the NEW season of Entourage are the epitome of bad ass. And seeing that two out of three things in this post are “trailers”, I’m convinced that there must be an art to making a bad ass trailer than just careful editing. And I want to learn how to do it. Like Cameron Diaz’s character in “The Holiday”. Live in a sweet house in L.A. and have trysts with hot Jude Law-looking widowers. Make movie trailers for a living. Check it out.
