Friday's Fantastic Five (Lets Try This Again)

Yes, the delinquent blogger is back! The Corporation held me captive for the past months, you see. I’m out on parole for the time being. So lets enjoy my freedom by continuing Friday’s Fantastic Five!

1) This is a great example of the very elusive television commercial with heart."‘Television commercial’ and ‘with heart’ in one sentence?!” you scream in disbelief? Yes. It actually exists, though it is a rare breed. Extremely rare but not on the verge of extinction, yet.

2) A French band that sings in English and makes you involuntarily tap your toes and shake your head - what’s not to love?



3)

Created by Spike Jonze and friends, this site documents the phenomenal journey their imagination has embarked on in the creation of a very marvelous spectacle called Where the Wild Things Are. You may have heard about it. In short, it’s a treasure trove of amazing things. I’ve had a really wild time going through the archives and I’m sort of heartbroken that I’m about to run out of pages to click “back” on. This, my friends, is definitely a keeper.

4) A delightfully strange talent is what Hal Hartley is. I love the man. He had me at hello. Click the mouse on your friendliest torrent site and download “Surviving Desire”.


5) And lets cap this list off with Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Why? Why not?

I’ll just be with the monsters.

Any minute now and I’m about to croak from exhaustion, stress, and plain ol’ existential angst. How I long for days long gone, when all I had to worry about was devising a sneaky plan on how not to take my daily afternoon nap or a clever diversion to lure my nanny’s eyes away from the yucky warm milk that's about to be poured down the drain, or which nook, cranny or crevice would be the best place to hide away from scary, scary It.

I would truly give anything just to be able to live again as a child, when all the monsters in my head didn’t equate to the past, or with pressure, fear and anxiety – but more of the furry kind that carried me high up on their shoulders.



Anyway, allow me be a fangirl for a minute: Wasn't that an amazing trailer?! It's been so long since a trailer sent shivers running up and down my spine. Oh my god. This movie is gonna be amazing!!! (Yes, it deserves three exclamation marks.)
