Friends with Benefits

I went to see this movie last night and I could not stop laughing. It was soooo funny. I thought it would be too similar to "No Strings Attached" but it was different enough. And I LOVED Mila and Justin together. Such a cute movie.

Also I am in love with Mila. I seriously want to be her. Just love love love her.

GO SEE IT.

I also loved this spread in Elle for the movie.

JT and Mila

I can't wait for this movie to come out! I love both of them!

SNL -JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE & LADY GAGA - MAY 21, 2011

Here are some real time comments. From later to earlier.

See below for the video of the show from NBC.

SEASON FINALE!

It started out amusing, and got funnier as it went on. It was not the funniest show ever, but it had energy throughout and it was very very good! JT is an amazing talent. (He was in nearly every sketch, and singing stuff too, with impressions...) I enjoyed it.

BARRY GIBB TALK SHOW -- They got the sound right. (w/ Jimmy Fallon)

LADY GAGA -- Music / dance moving tableauxs -- Really interesting stuff!

AD -- Bank of America -- "You can transfer funds between accounts." Wow! (Is that a joke?) (Remember the International Bank of Exchange... Now THAT's impressive banking.)

SECRET WORD -- Another ... silly, funny sketch.

LOVE TUNNEL -- LOVEly sketch.

QUIZ -- A funny sketch. JT's a good sport. Lady Gaga's good.

AD -- THE PLAYBOY CLUB -- Another movie ad! --- A few days ago I saw a TV doc about Hef. He did some terrific things.

WEEKEND UPDATE -- Great jokes. "The CAGE" not so much.

AD -- Justin Timberlake is in both BAD TEACHER and FRIENDS WITH BENEFITS.

LADY GAGA -- What an outfit. Does it matter what she sings?

AD -- FRIGHT NIGHT. SNL movie commercials are better and better.

YA MAMA SAYS HI... DIGITAL MUSIC VIDEO -- Follows up on last week's Jack Sparrow with more and more visual & singing energy. ("The New Three's Company".)

TV WXPD NEWS REPORT -- Silly. Funny.

AD - FUJI FILM -- Got it the first time. Got it the first time.

LADY GAGA / CHROME -- Looks great.

GRAND OPENING -- Tea vs beer. "Exsqueeze me teabagger." + wine...

AD - FRIENDS WITH BENEFITS sounds really promising. ZOOKEEPER has possibilities.

MONOLOGUE -- NEET 3 PEECE! He's not gonna sing tonight, sings he.

COLD OPEN -- Good advice on the international financial situation... in jail. Better analysis than you get from the cable commentattering experts. And the basic jail experience too.

Here's clips from the show, from NBC:

Here's the famous skipped/deleted/avoided/censored/restricted Mozart sketch from the dress rehearsal that never made it into the show. I can think of a few reasons why it might not have been aired.

And here's Lady Gaga BORN THIS WAY:

BLACK SNAKE MOAN

Black Snake Moan is a very powerful picture.

It's a blues musical, the second (Hustle & Flow, a hip-hop/rap musical, was the first) in a series of films by Craig Brewer that may redesign, redefine, and revolutionize the movie-musical.

Don't take it literally. It's not a sexual exploitation or a race relations film. It's a fable or a fairy tale or a metaphor or a provocation or a love story. It sits right on the edge of a cliff... of disaster, tragedy, sorrow, human shame, guilt... or redemption.

(I've always kind of wondered what it means when someone says some project is -- or should be -- edgy. This film is the embodiment of edgy.)

The acting, by Samuel L. Jackson, Christina Ricci, and Justin Timberlake is terrific. And the music is excellent: it's a blues musical. The extra features on the DVD are very interesting.

"Black Snake Moan" is the name of a song by Blind Lemon Jefferson, one of the great, legendary blues singers. But it's fair to read other meanings into the title.
