today is garden state<\/i> day\u2026with a sprinkling of shyamalan and zombies. tien pointed me towards zach braffs garden state blog<\/a> yesterday. braffs got a blog yo\u2026hows that for coo beans? theres also a nice ny times interview with zach braff<\/a>. the interview looks into braffs jersey upbringings (hes from s. orange) and what inspired the stories of garden state<\/i>. its actually kind of odd to read about what went into the melancholic character of andrew large from garden state<\/i> when placed next to goofy JD from scrubs<\/i>. theyre pretty much polar opposites, and braff himself probably resides somewhere between the two. anyhoo, take a read, and then go check out the movie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

and while we\u2019re on the topic of garden state<\/i>, ign also has an interview with natalie portman<\/a>. they talk and stuff\u2026and she replies with words and sentences. mmm\u2026portman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SHYAMALANS POOP<\/b>
so the following two reviews essentially confirm it, the village<\/i> is dog shit. quint and moriarty from aicn<\/a> both trash shyamalans latest movie, stating that while hes still a cinematic genius, the movies gorgeous, the actors are great\u2026the storys still a giant suck. big fat suckage. quints review<\/a> trashes the movie detail by detail, then prays that shyamalan doesnt walk down the path of lucas. and moriartys review<\/a> spells out ALL THE MAJOR PLOT POINTS<\/u> for you while neglecting to post up a spoiler warning. bugger. no biggie i suppose\u2026i havent even seen the movie and figured out as much anyway. his review just confirms what i was afraid of in terms of the plot twist. read away if youre dying of curiosity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MEAT PIE<\/b>
and for those unaware, the british horror\/comedy shaun of the deads<\/a> making its way to america yo, via focus features. and the north american trailer<\/a> just hit the web. zombies and comedy\u2026word. shaun is a badass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201ctheres no \u2018i\u2019 in team. but there is an \u2018i\u2019 in pie\u2026in theres an \u2018i\u2019 in \u2018meat pie\u2019. the anagram of \u2018meat\u2019 is \u2018team\u2019\u2026i dunno\u2026<\/i>\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n
