even James Bond prefers Barack Obama to John McCain
In an interview with Parade Magaine Daniel Craig was asked a "deeply American question":
'Who do you think would be the better James Bond—Barack Obama or John McCain?'
Craig doesn’t hesitate. “Obama would be the better Bond because—if he’s true to his word—he’d be willing to quite literally look the enemy in the eye and go toe-to-toe with them. McCain, because of his long service and experience, would probably be a better M,” he adds, mentioning Bond’s boss, played by Dame Judi Dench. “There is, come to think of it, a kind of Judi Dench quality to McCain.”
And clearly Pierce is pro-Obama as well.
...and with that said here's the video for Another Way to Die the
theme song to Quantum of Solace .
you are all i need...
is basically true when it comes to Radiohead. if there was only 1 band i could listen to for the rest of my life or if i was trapped on a deserted island blah, blah, blah, they are it...sorry Coldplay.
"you're all i need"

Guest Blogger Morgan Glanton reviews "W" during a Google Chat convo
During a recent Google Chat conversation with one of my dearest friends Morgan Glanton, she broke down her thoughts on the new Oliver Stone film "W"morgan: ok, worth seeing i guess. didn't love though. josh brolin was really good. thandie newton's portrayal of condi was sort of crazy and insane and hilarious (though it wasn't supposed to be)
me: how abour mr. jones and mr. wright?
morgan: jones was creepy as all fuck as carl rove, i thought he did a really good job jeffery wright was only okay as powell. it wasn't a particularly memorable performance [while] elizabeth banks made me like laura bush more than i had.
[though] i could never fully believe james cromwell as ghw bush, [&] dreyfuss did a good job with chaney. aptly evil and creepy. all in all the whole thing was very oliver stone, so i'd factor that in when deciding to see it depending on if you're a fan or notme: the last oliver stone movie i liked was wall street so idk if i'm gonna see
w. though i wanted to before it came outmorgan: yeah, i'm not a huge oliver stone fan myself
me: thanks i'm just going to splice whatever you wrote and post it if you don't mind
he sucks
morgan:no, i enjoy your posts and am totally pleased that you're a bill compton fan
me: mmm vampire bill, so hot, so pale
morgan: loll
and there you have my first Google Chat/interactive review.
tell me, love isn't true it's just something that we do
i want to put on some chaps throw down and dance my ass off to this song whenever i see/think of it
no i don't want to battle from beginning to end...
there's no better way to start the day than with some Coldplay!

Ed O'Brien please give me some of your DNA...or at least consider impregnating me in 5 years
hands down Radiohead is THE GREATEST BAND ON THE PLANET. thom, johnny, colin, phil and ed are beyond brilliant, so i thought i'd share this video of them performing "Reckoner" in what could be a cupboard for all i know, based on it's size. while thom is the ("fetus like-looking face") and heaven sent voice of the band, phil throws down on the drums like nobodies business in all of his bald glory, colin lays the bass down better than almost everyone in the land, johnny is the "mutli-instrumentalist," and ed is the Other guitar player and most beautiful member (if you're into tall, pale thin, digitally talented men of course.) now please enjoy
and since the video ends with a little intro to "15 step" how could i not include it
i just bought the coolest boots but i don't know where i'll be able to wear them
so last fall i posted about my love of all fashion but the inability to truly execute it sartorially in tropical conditions and i'm about to again since i just bought the lovely boots posted above. a few days ago i was brainstorming outfit ideas (yes sometimes i actually plan out what i'm going to wear well before i ever will) and i concluded that i needed to add a pair of universal (wearable in any season that can be dressed up or down) brown boots to my wardrobe, and lo and behold i found them in less than a week. i realize now i think i was inspired by the Miu Miu boots Madonna wore in the May 08 Elle (pictured below) and in her "Give It To Me" video. i'm headed to New York in a few weeks for a wedding so hopefully they'll get put to some use and i won't look as ridiculous wearing them there, as i will in the 305.
if it's against the law arrest me, if you can handle it undress me
"give it to me" is exactly what i plan on saying to Pharrell at the show tonight. and please check out the gorgeous ysl star belt she's rocking not mention the like 5 other absolutely fab ensembles
weekend update just keeps getting better
Keenan Thompson deserves more credit and not just because he's the lone black guy on SNL. just watch this video (if the one below doesn't load) and you'll understand, it's about 2 and a half minutes in during Andy Samberg's "Jam the Vote" segment.
there's no greater power than the power of goodbye
so i've become reobsessed with Madonna's music and find myself wanting to post as many videos of hers as possible. she is the Queen of Pop,an incredible businesswoman, an artist with the ability to transform and reinvent herself over and over again, and a billion other things so now please enjoy this fantastically beautiful song and video. she looks pretty incredible in it, as does Goran Visnjic.

i'm in love with you, you silly thing, anyone can see
for some reason "Nothing Fails" by Madonna popped in my head this afternoon. i'm not going to blog about Madonna's impending divorce, but i will say this woman sure can "write" a damn good song and "gone" (also posted below) may just be a little more relevant to her actual life than she thought it would ever be 7 years ago
"gone"

Representing the Write-In party Tim Calhoun
Fashion meets (somewhat irrelevant but utterly beautiful) Function
Chanel has opened a "Tempoary Art Container" in Central Park til November 9th. The New York Times has a great slideshow of the project and a really interesting article about the concept of the space itself, which was designed by the brilliant and amazing Zaha Hadid, whose ideas are literally out of this world. sadly i won't be able to make it to the City before the exhibition closes but there's plenty of info, photos and videos available online, and the exhibit will be making stops in London, Moscow and Paris over the next 13 months, so maybe i'll catch the last one.

A rocky road...

N.E.R.D with a cherry on top
So Phil and I went to go see N.E.R.D at the Fillmore, and some other dude named Common also performed. though before the show we had dinner on Lincoln Road and came across a woman handing out free milk chocolate with a peanut butter filling samples from Ghirardelli.

SNL is incredible...and not just because they got Sarah Palin to stand there and say nothing
my love for Saturday Night Live's entire ensemble knows no bounds and has for as long as i can remember. but this season has been pretty pitch perfect and not only because of the lovely and amazing Tina Fey's insanely dead on portrayal of Sarah Palin, but each cast member has really stepped up their game and is just fantastic. i think one of the major reasons behind this is thanks to the genius of head writer Seth Meyers, not to mention the all around confidence and talent level of the ensemble.
sadly Amy Poehler will be leaving SNL once she gives birth, but before that sad day comes, let's spotlight her ability to go all out, all the time in the ridiculously brillant performance she gives since Palin wouldn't step up to the plate.

and here's an article Alec Baldwin wrote about Sarah Palin's appearance on SNL. and here's an interview with Chevy Chase about how much he thought she sucked on the show. and here's another about whether Palin can win the election by just showing up.
MACGRUBER: In Financial Ruin
i've adored Orville Willis Forte IV since he started on SNL 6 years ago. and one of my favourite sketches he does is MacGruber. i hope you enjoy it as much as i do!
John McCain is older than your great great grandfather...
ok so it actually says John McCann, but what a coincidence, considering they've both been around since the Industrial Revolution, which should be as disconcerting as the picture below.
plus if McCain actually wins the election, there's a high chance he won't be able to consume solid food by the time the inaguration rolls around and he'll be (barely) living off of McCann oatmeal.
don't get me wrong i am not an agist, i'm crazy about Bill Compton and he's got 100 years on McCain, he's just not the guy i want sitting in the Oval Office.

M.i.A in the family way...
Diesel turned 30 and to celebrate they threw sick-ass parties in London and New York. M.I.A (who's totally preggers) and N.E.R.D performed "Paper Planes"
