I’m a little too excited for this. I really wasn’t interested in Earth, but I’m more than ready to geek out on my love for sea-life on this one. It’s time for another movie like this, not sure if I could take another pre-apocalyptic, apocalyptic, post-apocalyptic movie.
Young Zee proves beyond the shadow of a doubt that you don’t need a budget to make a good music video. You just need a few interesting props–like say, an empty bottle of Carlo Rossi, a strap on, and a trampoline (you really could just go where there’s a trampoline without paying or asking). After all, you can’t pay for a good idea, they’re either free or you don’t have one. Ladies and Gentlemen, Young Zee. (thanks Despot for the heads up)
I was actually considering seeing the movie before I saw the trailer. By far the most schizophrenic cast I’ve ever seen. It would only be worth seeing it for Marion Cotillard and Penélope Cruz. What a shock that it was made by the same people who made Chicago. I think I take more offense to this movie than the people that take out their pitchforks for the Twilight movies.
Full cast: Daniel Day-Lewis, Marion Cotillard, Nicole Kidman, Penélope Cruz, Judi Dench, Sophia Loren, Stacy Ferguson (Fergie), Kate Hudson
Ableton debuts Max for Live, the first time a music making software lets you actually get inside the program, and redesign it, or use it to create your own plugins, sounds, and instruments. It looks awesome, and awesomely confusing. So if you’re one of those dudes in Berlin with the small framed glasses, this is for you. Oh you can also use it do stuff like turn your pen tablet into a Theremin:
At 20 years old, Daul Kim, a model, was found dead in her apartment in Paris on the 19th of November, she hanged herself. There’s something sickeningly fascinating behind deaths like that, strictly speaking of suicide; just the fact that so many people seek validation through beauty and when some are deemed beautiful there seems to be almost more unhappiness.
What is more bizarre is the rate of suicides among Koreans:
“South Korea, which has the highest suicide rate among the 30 nations in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, has had a string of high-profile suicides in recent months.
Roh Moo-hyun, the former President, jumped to his death in May while under investigation for corruption and the ex-chairman of South Korea’s oldest conglomerate killed himself earlier this month. In 2008, Choi Jin-sil, one of the country’s top actresses, committed suicide, shortly after a fellow actor did the same. One of South Korea’s popular soap opera actresses also killed herself recently.”

“She [Daul Kim] became the ninth South Korean celebrity to commit suicide in 2009.”
