movies

tomorrow, one of my favorite movies of all time will be on tcm: i married a witch, starring frederic march and the lovely ms. veronica lake.

the film is not yet available on DVD, so this will be a great saturday morning treat. veronica lake is a real charmer in this, and while the film served as the basis for the popular bewitched series, the film has a different premise. and if memory serves, there's friskiness to lake's character in the film that is altogether different. in any case, i'm looking forward to having my memory refreshed tomorrow at 10am.

wallace and gromit the curse of the were-rabbit will be released on dvd, feb 7. that's a must-see.

last night, we watched the aristocrats. i had read quite a lot about how dirty it is. but i was pretty unprepared for the depth and cope of the dirty-ness. i blushed, i choked on my ginger ale, but it was pretty freaking hilarious. i especially loved taylor negron, hank azaria, mario cantone as liza minnelli, kevin pollack as christopher walken, gilbert gottfried, bob saget, eric mead (i'm a sucker for card tricks to begin with, but his really was fun), and the south park animation.

i could care less about jennifer aniston, or sundance, for that matter

but i was actively envious when i read this (courtesy of people.com):

Jennifer Aniston, chowing down at the invite-only dinner ChefDance, hosted by the Food Network's Tyler Florence. She feasted on tuna parfait with two kinds of caviar, Alaskan butterfish and champagne lychee gelee, all prepared by Ming Tsai of Boston's Blue Ginger restaurant. When Tsai asked Aniston how she was enjoying his food, she responded, "It's insane."

i googled "ming tsai" to see what else he's been up to, and got directed instead to another juicy little piece about aniston reportedly penning a tell-all. ooh, scandal. could she be that bitter? everyone's tv "sweetheart"?

anyway, more about "chefdance" here.

diplo at the guggenheim--hear it now!

so the first friday event at the guggenheim, featuring diplo, that my friends and i attended earlier this month is now available, for your groovy listening pleasure, in 2 parts, via aol (and thanks to the collaboration of aol, flavorpill, and bpm magazine). it's pretty dope, as the kids say these days.

did you ever think you'd hear the shout out-- "yeah, what's up guggenheim?!"
