Red Band Trailer: God Bless America - April 6

Written and directed by Bobcat Goldthwait. Starring Joel Murray, Tara Lynne Barr, and Mackenzie Brooke Smith. 

Fair warning, this preview (and presumably the movie) presents a string of extremely inconsequential acts of uber-violence. But for those with the stomach to handle Goldthwait’s demented view of the world, treasures of insight await. The spot’s glorification of said violence can be off putting but the director’s short yet proven track record is enough for me to go with it. These kind of movies can only end one way (the protagonists fall prey to their own trigger-happiness), so it will be interesting to see how he twists it. 

This looks like Fallen Down but almost worst. Sorry, Bobcat.

Please get re-blogged enough to be talked about on Monday’s Daily Show.

Alan Keyes totally normal family portrait. There’s nothing disturbing seeping underneath the surface of this well-mainucred portrait of strong family values. Nope. Nothing at all.

Scientists: ‘Look, One-Third Of The Human Race Has To Die For Civilization To Be Sustainable, So How Do We Want To Do This?’

“I’m just going to level with you—the earth’s carrying capacity will no longer be able to keep up with population growth, and civilization will end unless large swaths of human beings are killed, so the question is: How do we want to do this?” Cambridge University ecologist Dr. Edwin Peters said. “Do we want to give everyone a number and implement a death lottery system? Incinerate the nation’s children? Kill off an entire race of people? Give everyone a shotgun and let them sort it out themselves?”

More.

Perfect. 

Heigel needs all the help she can get.

Senator John Kerry shocked onlookers at a White House ceremony on Monday with two black eyes and a broken nose. More shocking: Tom Hanks may be responsible?!

Kerry’s office said the 68-year-old lawmaker was injured during an ice hockey game with friends and family. But Flash can reveal that the 2004 Democratic presidential nominee was actually banged up during a celebrity charity game on New Year’s Eve in Sun Valley, Idaho — and one of the stars on the ice was Hanks, who has a mansion in the posh ski resort.

Go crazy, Lindsey Weber.

The single best moment in the documentary Page One was when David Carr cuts down Shane Smith, Vice co-founder, for passing off the NYTimes as a sort of vacation-themed rag.

The best. Ken Burns should make a ten-part documentary on David Carr.

Agreed. 

Matt and I (mostly Matt) made a poster for my film Bad Penny today. If you like the poster. you should go like the movie on the Facebook page!
