Kevin Arnold’s Dad Isn’t Everything, He’s The Only Thing

Lombardi
Circle In The Square Theater
Official Website

Kevin Arnold’s dad was always angry, and often very loud about it.  In a new Broadway play based on some of legendary Green Bay Packer coach Vince Lombardi’s life, Kevin Arnold’s dad embodies his huge body, and mouth, and it’s a perfect match made on the frozen tundra of Lambeau Field.  But is it the perfect play?  Don’t ask us, as we see about one show every 2 years (cause plays are usually boring AND a giant waste of money), and most of them are cheesy musicals.  There’s no music here, but it’s cheesy lessthenone.  And juss how theatrical could a play about football actually be?  Brian’s Song is one thing, but gritty gridironer Lombardi doesn’t exactly lend himself to tense drama, especially since you know the guy was a proven winner, and didn’t have much adversity, unless you count being married to a tuff broad played by Judith Light, who takes her turn playing the boss of their household!  Still, it’s only 90 minutes, and it’s about football, and it’s not supergay, and we love Kevin Arnold’s dad, even if he was a giant assjerk, but if lame-o Kevin and annoying Wayne were our kids, we’d be a giant jerkass too!!

Lombardi kicks a field goal starting October 21st

bonus: Jack Arnold, Winnie & Paul reunite (in 2008)!!!

No Shirt, No Cervix

if you were ever pondering these two questions at the same time, what was Dev Patel doing before Slumdog Millionaire and whatever became of that boy (Nicholas Hoult) from About A Boy, then girl o girl, do we’ve got an answer for you! and it also happens to be the greatestest (first season of a) teen television show we’ve ever seen mt EVEReverEVEReverEVEReverEVEReverst! (of course much respek to Wonder Years, My So Called Life and Hey Dude)

whatever you have to do, do the first season of Skins. it’s like Kids, but a little less horrific, but 109% more British, and the characters are so real that they’re even more real than The Real Ghostbusters playing Real Madrid. juss take one look at these kids and tell me you don’t want to hang out with them, or at least watch them do their thang from afar

meat the gang

(above, left to right) Anwar, the drinking Muslim; Tony, the hot bastard; Michelle, his girlfriend; Jal, the bitchy musician; Sid, Tony’s lackey/BFF who’s in love with his GF; Maxxie, the gay one; Cassie, the lonely dreamer; (not pictured) Chris, the animal of parties; Effy, Tony’s sister

we heart Cassie (the beyond adorable Hannah Murray) above all

she’s like Courtney Love
with the brain of Sylvia Plath
and the looks of Hope Davis

although the hottiest of the hotness in terms of hots
has gotta be the TILF (teacher ILF)

Angie (Siwan Morris)

haven’t u seen enuff pretty pictures?
well imagine how purty them pictures will are be in motion?

Hail to the Skins!

peas note: season 1 and 2 aired and reairs stateside on BBC America (we missed the first airings too so we had to rent…), season 1 is on DVD (season 2 drops in the US in April), and season 3, which features an entirely new cast (save Effy and some other minors), is currently airing in the UK

spreaking of watching stuff

the thighlarious trailer of The Office XXX?

The Savage Garden of Eve 6

yous knows we have an on hard for all things Savage
but who be the mos bangable Savage of them all?

Fred? we’ll stick to watching The Wonder Years and not him taking off his underwear (and/or underoos)

Ben? his pubes are probably a lil too curly for our tastes, and who would want that boy to meet our world record lengtheded dongs?

so who can it be then?

ever hear of their older sister Kala Savage?

she’s a sometime actress (soon to appear on one of our mos flavorite shows, Aliens In America, which has had some of its eps directed by her bro) and the lead singer of the band Biirdie. we thinks they have a spelling problem, and not in the tori sense. anywho, she may not be the flyest sister of all the Hollywood acting dynasties, but we’d rather get freaky with her than with Cuthbest’s sister Lee-Ann

mo from the Savage garden…

Damaged Goods

The Lookout
Blind, Def & Fun
Trailer

If you asked me boint plank who my mos flavorite actor going these days be, I wouldn’t flinch for a second as I rolled the hyphenated bestness of Joseph Gordon-Levitt off my tongue. I never cared for 3rd Rock or care to see Angels in the Outfield or 10 Things I Hate About Jews, but after takin in his (shoulda been Oscar nominated) explosive turn as a teen hustler in Mysterious Skin [TWS.org mini review] and his ace high school Sam Spade role in Brick [TWS.org review] I was all about the JG-L. Well, I’m schlappy to report that his latest, the Memento-lite Lookout, is right on par with those other two eye-opening films. The Lookout is nothing revolutionary, but the strong supporting cast (mainly I speak of JGF-L’s blind BFF Jeff Daniels… who is slowly becoming a Thigh flavorite as well, hispecially after The Squid & The Whale) and solid script help make screenwriter Scott Frank(Out of Sight/Minority Report)’s directorial debut one to watch

Unsatisfied with this? Netflix another Alar Kivilo cinematographed joint like A Simple Plan [trailer]

IMDb Sweeney: Director Frank wrote the episode of the Wonder Years where Kevin endlessly wusses over calling hottie Lisa Berlini, juss one of a zillion Wonder Fappers

John Grisham’s Jizzum (aka Verdict): Jeepers Worth A Peepers••

Rental Round Up(dog): Underseen Federico Diaz Edish

Harsh Times [Trailer]
& Havoc [Trailer]

•Although Joseph Gordon-Levitt co-stars in Havoc, documentarian Barbara Kopple‘s fictional look at stoopid SoCal wiggers… aka the flick where Anne Hathaway & Bijou Phil’s boobs are abound, this space is not dedicated to him, but to Six Feet Under‘s Freddy Rodríguez, who’s great work in that film and in Harsh Times, David Ayer‘s directorial debut that basically takes his Training Day script and replaces Denzel with Patrick Bateman, has gots to be recognized. It’s unfortch that both of these films didn’t make much of a splash upon their releases cause they’re far superior showcases of his talents than the blah roles he was given in Bobby, Poseidon and Lady In The Water. But if for some reason, and I sure hope it doesn’t, this acting bit doesn’t work out he could always falls back on The Diaz Family Mortuary

until next thyme the balcony is clothed…
