wotapa.
If you've got a sense of humor at all you're a fan of Judd Apatow. Whether or not you know who he is, your subconcious loves him because he happens to be the guy who blessed your zaniness with 'Anchorman', 'Superbad', 'Knocked Up', etc. Not to mention the way your heart melts again and again (in a way that it didn't in arrested developement) for adorkable Michael Cera.
Apatow has created a clan of his own that is almost as influential as the Coppola's (in another way, ofcourse). Comedic geninuses such as, Seth Rogen, Jonah Hill, Greg Motolla, Bill Hader, and Evan Goldberg, amongst others are all apart of this hilarious coterie that never stops giving. Judd and his boys are kind of changing comedy by making us see the hilarity in the subtlties of life and helping even those of you who hate dry humor (but why???) to covet that ishnit.
In case you didn't know already our buddy-o-pal Mr. Judd and his crew have something dazzling and spicy up their sleeves for us in 2009 !! They are presenting to us, 'Funny People'. Jason Schwartzman, Jonah Hill, Adam Sandler (eh), Seth Rogen, Leslie Mann and Eric Bana are all included, and if that's not enough to piss your pants, it's a comedy that centers around stand-up comedy. Genius right? Well, apparently somewhere in there a person has a near death experience which leads critics to believe it's a 'dramaedy', and that it has more of a touching ending opposed to what we're used to.
Personally, I feel like all of his films end with you feeling warm inside. *SPOILER ALERT !!* I mean, remember how your stomach fluttered for chubby Seth Rogan and bitchy Katherine Heigel when they ended up together in the end in their cute little apartment (which included an 'Eternal Sunshine' poster in the baby's room !), and when Jonah Hill became oddly endearing when he couldn't help but to look back at his best friend Michael Cera in that last scene? All of their movies have all of those key elements, but somehow keep the perfect balance so that you're continuing to laugh.
So to end the rant, look for these movies in the near future.
-The Green Hornet
-Pineapple Express
-Seth and Jay vs. The Apocalypse
-Anchorman 2
-Fanboys
-Year One (Michael Cera and Jack Black !)
-Step Brothers
p.s. please dl cryptacize. you'll love me long time.

film buzzzz.
woody allen, what a character. he's so cute in that adorable old jewish guy way, and i'm a sucker for those outlandish glasses. you always here of actresses being smitten by him and you have to wonder why. he's not exactly the picture image of sex appeal, nor does he even seem charming. i think it's that new york, jewish wit and those damn stark raving glasses. nonetheless he's one of the world's most favorite directors, and i second that.
anyway, 'annie hall' is amongst his best films and probably most successful taking home atleast 4 oscars, (if i remember right) and one being best picture. the movie is definitely on my favorite's list. not only because it's whimsical and just full of smiles, but mainly because of ANNIE HALL*! her style is just phenomenal throughout the entire film and she paved the way for the masculine goes feminine look for the 70's. it should go without saying that the 70's are my favorite era in fashion regardless, but the 'annie hall' film just captivated so many things that i love: cinema, style, sentiment, subtlety that is actually inadvertently abrupt...
if you haven't seen it yet, you most definitely should.
(*editors note: diane keaton plays annie, and was actually woody's muse and wife at the time. diane keaton is still a huge fashion icon now mainly based on her complete originality, and ofcourse--masculinity. ironic, because her given name is diane hall.)
on another great note, those of you who are fans of the winsome short films of 'paris, je'taime' are in great non-pagan luck !!! they're creating an american version entitled 'new york, i love you'! amongst the many directors, are scarlett johansson and natalie portman, and as if you're not already giddy and squirmy guess whose on the list for actors on this one:
-shia labeouf ('nuff said)
-natalie portman (again)
-christina ricci
-rachel bilson
-anton yelchin
-ethan hawke
-olivia thirlby
those are just the actors i anticipate but the whole crew is listed here.
i just might pull an annie and wear a tie and my favorite pair of dockers.

we don't dive, we cannon-ball.
yay ! the athens popfest is right around the corner. i hate that i wasn't aware of the impact that athens had on music when i was younger. according to athenians the music scene there is like a ghost town. i don't necessarily have an opinion on the situation, but i do love athens and i'm just so psyched for the popfest.
ATL's beloved coathangers will be shakin' their bangs at the popfest. cryptacize and their deerhoof roots will be jammin' at the popfest (enough reason to go). the selmanaires will party like it's 1999...on selman street at the popfest. dainty-little-cupcake named bands are even going to play like, 'laminated cat' and 'umbrella tree' (both of which i haven't ever heard of).
so go. the entire lineup is here.
on another atlanta note (drum roll please)........
H&M is finally opening in atlantic station !!! the co-ed (along with kids' clothing) version of the store is finally opening it's doors to it's anticipating atl-iens at 12pm noon, on friday the 13th of this blisteringly hot month. the trig store is giving away up to $500 in gift cards to the first 300 customers. i'll be camping out with a crunk, my two-step, and chumz.
p.s. i realize i'm a little late, but pitchfork announced that deerhoof will be electrifying us with a new album entitled 'offend maggie'. hollllaaaaaa

hair.
so yea, i'm ready for some new hair. granted my hair is pretty dope, but it's time for change and it's killing me. i'm currently fighting the urge to cut this junk so i don't have too many options.
as some of you may know, i want platinum hair. granted that's impossible (plus it will just look god awful), buttttt i want to atleast have the second best option, even if i do end up looking like a ghetto $2 hooker. i mean how often can negras go blonde anyway? so i'm thinking maybe something like this. i just feel pretty bland.
p.s. enon's my new favorite. i should've been asian.
