The Bling Ring

Until its theatrical release (and even after then, letsbehonest), I will be obsessed with this movie. I mean... Sofia Coppola. Emma Watson. Sleigh Bells (which speaks to the larger subject of how crazy awesome the soundtrack will be.) And of course the wicked style.

Carried Away

Nothing much to say in this post, other than that I absolutely fell in love with this video. Great song, great album, great artist. I feel compelled to include it in my blog for completion's sake, if that makes any sense.

It does to me.

Passion Pit - Carried Away

Oscars 2013: Animated Short Film

Academy Awards are a week away. After many hours spent in the theater, I think I'm ready (barring a few of the technical films, and pretty much all of the documentaries.)

I also spent some time fiddling around the internet trying to find clips of this year's contenders for Best Animated Short Film. I think they're all superbly crafted, but these three especially tugged at some heart strings:

Paperman John Kahrs

Head Over Heels PES

Adam and Dog Minkyu Lee

If I were an AMPAS voter, I would probably put in my vote for Adam and Dog. Such a sweet story, and quite an ambitious endeavor. Especially when you hear it directly from Minkyu Lee.

P.S. Watch Amour. It almost entirely validates your fears of old age, but the film itself is too beautiful and impactful to ignore.

Oh, and here's my source: FirstShowing.net (for the other two shorts.)
