Anyone spot Sarah Newell, the conflicted (and funny) vampire hater, on Glee last night?
So did we!
And while Glee is gone until April (sad!), True Blood is coming back in January (happy!).
Now that Maryann is gone and Bon Temps is back to normal - well, okay, “normal” - maybe Sarah will get more face time in 2010.
We hope Godric does too, even though he’s dead.
Or, um, undead.
Or… well… whatever.
Why are those black sneakers different from all other black sneakers?
Because they’re named for Darth Vader.
The kicks are part of Adidas’ new Star Wars collection, set to launch next year.
So far, the shoes include versions for Yoda, Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Stormtroopers, and The Death Star.
Unfortunately, nobody’s made a Chewbacca hoodie yet.
But they should keep trying.
Those wanting some old-school Christmas cheer in a newfangled (and very cheap) way, here’s a fun discovery:
That means you can watch Snoopy on ice, plus Charlie, Lucy, Sally, and Peppermint Patty (And Rerun! How cute is Rerun?!) without leaving the futuristic safety net of your computer (and don’t pretend Linus wouldn’t be clinging to a MAC airbook if he weren’t a little kid today).
Plus, you’ll get to hear the jazz score by Vince Guaraldi, which sounds surprisingly sophisticated and funky now that you’re grown up enough to appreciate it.
Dear Bravo,
We haven’t been so psyched with you, lately.
Sure, it’s fun to watch Law and Order marathons every Sunday, but now that Top Chef and The Rachel Zoe Project are done and Project Runway’s run away (and become incredibly dull), there really isn’t anything left. (Don’t get us started on The Fashion Show. Isaac Mizrahi is kickass, but still.)
So now there’s Launch My Line, the Bravo show where people who are kind of involved in fashion (writers, DJs, artists…) pair with unknown designers to make clothes.
Are we optimistic? Not really.
BUT. Bravo’s done something really brilliant. They’ve put the first episode up, in its entirety, on Hulu.com. Watch it at work, when you’re bored, and decide for yourself.
Every company has a holiday gimmick, and some are actually great.
There’s Elf Yourself from Staples, which lets you turn anyone into a dancing Santa gnome, and Get Gap, an electronic gift certificate that comes via email.
And now there’s Lacoste Momentum, a viral program that lets you build your own music video using legit music clips and art from the Lacoste library (think neon crocodiles that spin, and you’ll get the idea).
You can send your videos to friends, or post them on Facebook or YouTube.
Could a NYLON TV simulation be far behind?
Hmmm… 
Even though it won’t come out until next year, CNN is hyped about Avatar.
Today’s article says it’s “the most expensive movie ever made,” which might actually be more of a blessing than it sounds:
In 1998, James Cameron’s film Titanic was (at the time) the world’s most expensive movie - and it ended up breaking even ten times over.
But that was Leo, Kate, and a sinking boat.
This is a bunch of animated jungle cats that our interns say “look like grown-up smurfs.”
Will you go see it?
James Franco wants you to know that his latest soap opera stint qualifies as performance art.
The actor and perpetual student writes an opinion piece for the Wall Street Journal today where he manages to name-drop a Russian theater professor, a noted pastry chef, and Spider Man 3, all in the same paragraph.
It’s a pretty interesting read, and exciting to see celebs who aren’t afraid to flex their smarts.
But still, we kind of want to be like,
“Whatever James, we remember when you were the douchey sidekick in Never Been Kissed.”
Because obviously, we still watch that movie every five seconds.
It’s 3 pm and you probably need a break.
If so, plug in your headphones and click on this link from Dust Films.
It’ll take you to a little movie.
It’s short.
It’s charming.
It’s fun.
It’s Thursday afternoon, and we all need it.
Broken Embraces, the latest film from Pedro Almodovar, often feels like his own personal greatest hits.
From the plot to the actors to the movie-within-a-movie, there are plenty of references to his vast back catalogue.
While you wait for the film to open in your city (it’s out now in NYC, and will be released in LA on December 11), here are the top five Almodovar flicks to help you prepare for Broken Embraces.
Prepare your Netflix queue…
Vampires may be hijacking pop culture, but on television, there’s something else taking hold:
The parallel universe.
The final season of LOST will be all about the fourth dimension.
The new series V explores what happens when aliens try to claim our world as their own.
Flash Forward is all about a future reality that may or may not exist.
And then there’s Fringe, which is basically a giant TV field trip into time and space.
The thing is, they’re all really fun shows (even V, which sucks, but is still - somehow - amazing to watch).
So the big question isn’t “which show do you like?” because we like all of them. It’s “which show’s detectives do you want solving your mysteries?”
a) Anna Torv and Josh Jackson (above), the wonky FBI scientists on Fringe.
b) Juliet from Lost as the doctor on LOST.
c) Juliet from Lost as the FBI agent on V.
d) Joseph Fiennes, the tortured FBI detective on Flash Forward.
Please note, we’re not asking “who do you want to sleep with?” (Uh, Pacey, duh).
