Jennifer Aniston’s Management

staticmultimedia — Fri, 15 May 2009 02:38:11 +0000

How far would you go for love? That seems to be the question being asked in Sidney Kimmel Films’ new, quirky romantic comedy, Management, starring Jennifer Aniston, Steve Zahn and Woody Harrelson. Mike Cranshaw (Steve Zahn) is 38 years old and works the night shift at his parents’ motel in Arizona. He is so confined in his own little world he has created for himself that he has become perfectly content with his mundane existence. Sue Claussen (Jennifer Aniston) is stuck in a rut of her own. She leads a dull life at a job she hates, so she bides her time volunteering and feeding the homeless.

Modern Warfare 2 Details Deployed?

staticmultimedia — Fri, 15 May 2009 02:29:09 +0000

Not much is known about Infinity Ward’s Modern Warfare 2. We know it will be modern, it will have warfare, online players will unnecessarily swear and apparently the “Call of Duty” part of the name is gone. But that has been about it.

Until Sunday night when a teaser trailer aired during the Magic and Celtics game.

Ok…so the trailer didn’t provide much information (that’s why they call it a teaser!) but at least everyone who signed petitions to get whales into a Call of Duty war game can sleep easy.

A proper trailer will May 24 during the Eastern Conference Finals. I’m hoping for an appearance by a solar sea slug.

Shara Worden Interview

On a sleeting Friday in November, My Brightest Diamond frontwoman Shara Worden took a moment to talk to me just prior to showtime at Chicago’s notorious Schubas Tavern. Before the interview, her tour manager approached me in the bar at the front of the club and inquired about what equipment I’d use. “Just a handheld,” I said. He nodded and disappeared, then returned a brief moment later and led me to Worden in the back. She seemed relaxed; perched delicately on a wooden bench in the empty, drafty hall. I suspect he’d asked about equipment to find out about photos, and when I saw her I was glad I’d no camera after all. Her eyes, not yet made up for the stage, were magnetic. They reflected great depth, yet maintained a playful resonance just at the surface, and makeup would have lessened that effect. I saw her thinking in there, and what she was thinking was sharp and I saw her feeling in there, and what she was feeling was kind. Duly smitten, I joined her on the bench less gracefully, checked our sound level and proceeded with the interview.

100 Percent of Nothing’s Gothic poet and illustrator The Kreep has received a handmade box of treasures collected specifically for him by the Coraline team at Laika films. Inside the box, numbered 46/50, are highly decorated secret compartments that contain relics from the film including a bat/dog model, a bat body mold, authentic skeleton key with secret password, and a wing skeleton prototype #3. An old envelop with a wax seal with inlaid black button (as used for the eyes of the witch) and a hand-typed note explained the curious gift.
