well, this happened.
I just got back from Sundance, where I went for the premiere of the movie I moved to New Orleans to make with the people who have kept me here. It's called Beasts of the Southern Wild. The Hollywood Reporter has called it "one of the most striking films to ever debut at Sundance," and the New York Times said it was "among the best films to play at the festival in two decades," but my two favorite reviews have been from Variety and especially the Huffington Post. The movie got bought for distribution by Fox Searchlight, so it almost certainly will coming to a theater somewhere near you (early guesses have it for an August-September-ish release, but who really knows). I am just over the fucking moon, I can't even begin to tell you. There's no trailer yet, but maybe my picture (that's me in the khaki jumpsuit) on the front page of today's Times Arts section will suffice instead. Wow.

Ever have the feeling you might have a lovechild, David Klatt? One with a thing for colorful turtlenecks? Saw this in a textbook and couldn't help but wonder. Denial won't make him go away, Dave. Find him. Love him.

Old Time Hockey
The NHL at its best. I wish the game could go back to how these guys used to play. It's not even so much me as it's Roenick, he's good. Classic.

"oh, it's bad..."
do any of you guys watch this show? thoughts? i've seen a couple episodes and think it's pretty spot on in the "didn't-know-you-had-it-in-you-fred-armisen" kind of way. they're playing a small show tonight at the Hideout as part of a tour in promotion for the show. Eddie's cameo is just so spot on. And I'd love to know the sound engineer behind that music, just a fake pearl jam riff over an A chord, "Yeaaaahhhahahhahhhhhhhh"
Gryllbobbyzachkyle, interested in a PJ20 showing this weekend? I'll bring the spicy queso dip and hair curlers.

Taken with Wolves

20 New Year’s Resolutions For 20-Somethings
1.Before you status update, Tweet, Tumble or Instagram, pause and say to yourself, “is it entirely necessary that I share this morsel of thought with my entire social network?”and if the answer is not, “yes, I absolutely must,” then step away from the Internet.
2.Know which candidate you’re going to vote for in the upcoming presidential election, and know why.
3.Enough with the 14-day juice cleanses. If you want to lose a little weight quickly, eat less and exercise like crazy. If you want to lose a lot of weight slowly, do whatever Jennifer Hudson did.
4.If you really like the person you’re hooking up with and would like them to be your boyfriend/ girlfriend, find a way to tell them, and hope for the best. If you don’t and wouldn’t, stop.
5.Find a way to save approximately 300 dollars and spend it on a flight to see a friend or family member who lives far away.
6.Please stop liking the Kardashians, all of them. It’s not helping anyone, least of all the Kardashians.
7.Spend less than or equal to the money you earn each month.
8.Wear clothes that fit you, especially to work.
9.Call someone on the phone at least once a week, and speak to him or her for at least ten minutes.
10.Start preparing now to get over the fact that Facebook is probably going to change again in six months. You’re not going to deactivate your account. You don’t know how.
11.Wait 30 seconds before you look up a fact you can’t remember on your phone, and try to remember it using your brain. This is what the olden days were like.
12.Replace one terrible reality show you’re currently watching with one wonderful scripted show currently available on television. Swap suggestion: Real Housewives of Anywhere for HBO’s Enlightened.
13.Try that food you think you don’t like but have never actually tried, unless it’s brussels sprouts. They really don’t need any more attention.
14.Cut one person out of your life who you truly do not like and add one person who you truly do. Note: not on Facebook, on Earth.
15.If you’re still blacking out regularly, you should stop.
16.Volunteer once over the next 90 days. You’ll feel really good about it, and probably end up volunteering again over the next 275.
17. Tell someone who you love that you love them on a more regular basis. To their face, not in a text.
18.Back up your entire online life onto an external hard drive, especially your photos.
19.Crap or get off the pot. This applies to whatever thing you’re not doing that you should just sack up and do already.
20. And in the eternal words of Tom Haverford, “TREAT YO SELF!”
Happy 2012 everyone!
