Myspace Music-Pixies Covers.
Two great Pixies related things came to my attention today.
#1) Matthew's Celebrity Pixies' Covers. A collection of Pixies' covered, redone in the manner of famous musicians. You can check his Myspace page out above, or go straight to the page where you can download all of his mp3's. He hints in a blog about future versions of Where is My Mind by Queen and Debaser by The Beastie Boys. Amazing.
#2) Mr. Hopkinson's Computer is a collection of songs "sung" by a computer. His/Its version of Where Is My Mind is really haunting and great.

Jack Black grazes Kate Winslet's boob!
Do you believe in Redemption? 2nd chances? 3rd chances?
Nancy Meyers, director of What Women Want and Something's Gotta Give has one of those Holiday Romantic Comedies coming out. During the...ummm...holidays (December 8th actually).
Normally, it would be easy to ignore something like this, and even more so when you see the presesnce of Ed Burns and Cameron Diaz. However THIS one has Jack Black and Kate Winslet.
You can get the trailer here:

Remake This: Seven Samurai
Obviously it's early on this, and details are sketchy, but it's just to crazy now to mention it.
Apparently the Weinstein Brothers want to do a $100 Million remake of The Seven Samurai.
With CGI fight scenes.
With George Clooney.
And Donnie Yen.
And Zhang Ziyi.
And Optimus Prime.
OK, maybe not Optimus Prime. But still, it sounds ALMOST that ridiculous. Not that I wouldn't lay may $10 for it. Got I'm a sucker. Kill me.

Wanted: New Vocabulary Word
Of all the things I should probably be blogging about (saw The Break-Up earlier this week, Waterfront is next weekend, etc.) this is probably the most useless.
We need a new vocab word. A singular word that will describe the moment that you can start a show up on Tivo, and get to the end of the program at the same time it's ending, thereby missing all of the commercials.
Feel free to post your suggestions in the comments below.
