Ghost Busters III - The Judd Apatow Ressurection
It's been down at the rumour for a while now and it was only a matter of time before some executive schmuck confirmed the internet's suspicions. I guess finally that time has come. Comedic super-hero director Judd Apatow (Superbad, Knocked Up, 40 Year Old Virgin and Funny People) has officially been announced that Apatow Productions will indeed be in charge of the third installment of everyone's friendly ghost removalists. The upcoming 3rd will be written by The Office writers Lee Eisenberg and Greg Stupnitsky. It's been reported that neither Bill Murray or Dan Aykroyd have been allowed to confirm anything until now! It seems everyone's favourite old guy hipster kid Mr B Murray is already getting in on the action.
In case you don't get the hipster reference check out Bill Murray's bar-tending stint at 2010's SXSW. B-Man is all over the jeuneuse!

Karen O Is 'Where The Wild Things Are'
She Shoots, She Scores
Although the inter-breeding of the music industry and the film industry is nothing new, it seems musicians are looking for new ways to channel their artistic spirit, while simultaneously making a penny or two. The film score for Spike Jonze's adaptation of Maurice Sendak's classic children's book, Where the Wild Things Are, - try saying that 10 times- has been almost entirely written by Yeah Yeah Yeah's front-woman, Karen O. In an age of pirate downloads, this not only introduces a new money-making sphere for musicians but also generates a greater and varied film viewership.

A Wasted Love Story - A Bout De Souffle
A Bout de Souffle (1959)
Directed by Jean-Luc Godard, one of the founding members of 'La Nouvelle Vague'.
This scene shows Patricia (American actress Jean Seberg) and Michel (French actor Jean Paul Belmondo) in one of the film's trademark love scenes.
Basically he'll count to 8. If she refuses to smile before then, he'll strangle her (all in jest of course..). A test of courage or cowardice.

What are you looking at?
- j-fool
- I am more than prone to monologues; however, this is solely due to the manner in which they compliment a witty anecdote and their ability to resemble concrete evidence when it is so obviously lacking. I often wish I could emulate that aloof character who coolly stands in the corner smiling mysteriously as if she has a secret. However, I fear resisting the temptation to involve myself in other people’s conflicts and responding through body language rather than verbose banter may come across as contrived and arrogant. And, I am not willing to take that chance.
