Jul. 31st, 2008 09:18 pmA list of things I am excited about:
1. Jason Schwartzman has been cast in a new HBO comedy pilot that sounds freakin' awesome.
Kind of sounds like something Max Fischer would do (in between putting on self-penned plays at the local community centre of course).
If it happens, I am so on board.
2. The Brothers Bloom, which looks insanely cute and quirky, but that's ok with me.
From the director of Brick, get excited now people!
3. Generation Kill is just the most amazing thing on television right now. By turns it's hilarious and heartbreaking and it's really putting the war on Iraq in a different perspective for me. I don't think it would work as a movie, but as a mini-series it's amazingly compelling.
Check out this trailer:
The series is based on real people and real events so here are a couple of vids featuring the marines and the actors who play them.
( Under the cut )
4. Who is sick? let's you put yourself and your symptoms on the map - literally - so you can see who else in your area (or really, any area) is ill. Tragically, there is no option for 'sore wrist' which is all I am suffering from right now. But the next time I get sick (which hopefully won't be til next year because I'm doing Jane Austen and Ancient Egypt this semester and plan on having a good time) I will be using this site.

The Jonathan Ames-penned "Bored to Death" centers on Jonathan (Schwartzman), a struggling thirtysomething writer with a drinking problem in Brooklyn who, following a painful breakup with his girlfriend, decides to emulate his heroes from the novels of Raymond Chandler and Dashiell Hammett. He takes out an ad pretending to be a private detective and starts taking cases -- solving some and making others worse.
