It's the new Testacc
patrick, all-round GO-er and decadent berliner, took off on a road trip of sorts, getting up to all sorts of mischief along his travels, which he lovingly filmed for our enjoyment in the four-part wanderlust chronicles. as we know all roads lead to rome...and his invasive and prying camera happened to be around and filming on oats' last night in town at the local dive where everyone knows your name. who knew the cameras were on......starts at minute 6:14
People always comin' up to me and askin'
"Dolly, what's your secret?
With all you do, your attitude
Just seems to be so good
How do you keep it?"
Well I'm not the Dalai Lama, but I'll try
To offer up a few words of advice
.....
well ICE DANCE for one...
now while i realize this may not be everyone's cup of tea (my past allusions were devastatingly snubbed), i thought i could get a few of you to at least WARM to the idea of couples in leotards with the following ruse...
1. TEEN CRUD heaven
The Cutting Edge (1992)
The King of the Rink is about to meet America's Ice Queen....
2. FRAT PACK glory
Blades of Glory (2007)
Kick Some Ice...
a hilarious and camp send-off of the competitive ice-skating world that has will ferrell and jon heder (napoleon dynamite) as former foes turned forced to become partners and compete for olympic gold.
at this point i feel i can slip in this....
one of the highlights of my grim teen years holed up in a village in the fenlands. how i cried..from the mundane to the sublime indeed.
``Ever since I saw the world premiere of Juno (12/5, Fox Searchlight, trailer) at the Toronto Film Festival back in September, I have had a new favorite actress: Ellen Page is barely out of her teenage years and stands only a little over five feet tall, but in this remarkable performance she proves herself a force to be reckoned with. Sure, she was provided with a brilliant script by Diablo Cody, and first-rate direction by Jason Reitman, and a roster of top-notch co-stars like Michael Cera, Jennifer Garner, and Allison Janney. But as every one of them has stated, Ellen took the role of a conflicted pregnant teenager and brought to it nuance and vivaciousness that nobody imagined possible.''
breathe...breathe...

see the film SOON
give me a drip NOW
perhaps not everyone's cup of tea. but no one can deny the towering talent, the riveting presence of benicio del toro. i went weak at the knees.
this a new series being broadcast on the internet about the 20 somethings known as the blog generation.
essentially it features the female protagonist, looking attractively dishevelled, sprawled on a bed banging on about this and that and not very much on the webcam of her macbook. insights include: ``why do we blog. we blog to exist. therefore we are idiots.'' give me an E. give me an R.
on the plus side: it's scripted by the creators of my so-called live and once and again and thirtysomething. some am hoping the dialogue will pick up a bit.
on the down side: from what i've seen of it. it's pretty errrr. and am having a backlash against all forms of online social networking.
