I'm Dumb and Disapointed
LCD Soundsystem does not come out tomorrow, it comes out next week. Sad.
It's always a huge story when a movie as high in quality and as short on big thrills as Little Miss Sunshine does respectable box office. However today's Times suggests the big story this year is movies Hollywood was skeptical about doing bang up business. This weekend the (sort of looks good but critics seem to hate it) epic movie 300 made $70 million dollars. No stars, no bankable characters, no critical praise. Seems the studio dodged a pricey bullet, but this seems to be the year of the sure to be failures becoming big fat paychecks. (ie: Norbit, Wild Hogs, Ghost Rider)
Out of my two favorite Staten Island bands Dead Rabbit seems to be the one most likely to blow up. Mostly cause the world is sexist but also because they seem to write songs that are better than Tapes N' Tapes and less jarrinlgy artsy than Wolf Parade.
