Is this old? I don't know, but this seriously couldn't look any better.

Apologies for the hiatus.

Cribbed from Señor Roche:

There Will Be Blood

Seriously, this would make a great double feature with Citizen Kane. It's like its fucked up, distant, half-brother or something. Kane by way of Horror.

Lohan Does Monroe. Why?

From LA Times' All The Rage:

In the story, Lohan says of Monroe and Heath Ledger's tragic outcome: "I sure as hell wouldn't let it happen to me." Then, why are you bouncing in and out of rehab and recreating a photo shoot that precisely mimics a suicidal woman's flirtation with fame? And [Bob] Stern should be ashamed of himself for aping such a memorable photo shoot for a 21-year-old actress whose most notable credit is "Herbie Fully Loaded." Monroe - who starred in fantastic movies like "The Misfits" and "Some Like It Hot" - died of acute barbiturate poisoning at age 36.

To be fair, Lohan was in Mean Girls, which was both more notable than Herbie and not terrible. But what is it with this girl? She was in Interview Magazine a couple of years ago doing an Elizabeth Taylor shoot (someone she at least more physically resembles). I think Corcoran probably says it best here:

Lohan joins the ranks of Monroe-philes like Mischa Barton, Scarlett Johansson and Drew Barrymore. It may be flattering to the icon, but the Rage finds it rather sad that so many young actresses crib Monroe instead of inventing their own unique images. If you're devoid of charisma and innate sexual appeal, maybe it's time to try beekeeping.

Mischa Barton? Jesus. But I mean, yeah, Lohan's fine, but like a lot of the young hot pieces of ass in Hollywood today, they just seem more and more devoid of that je ne sais quoi that made someone like Monroe, Raquel Welch, or even Jane Russell notable in the first place.

Kanye West - Flashing Lights (NSFW)

Hahaha. New vid of what's probably my favorite track off of Graduation*. Is there a mainstream Hip-Hop artist out there that can get away with subverting what the genre's become better than West? I don't know, but this shit's great.

*It's a toss up between the catchiness of this and the tongue-in-cheek honesty of The Glory - "The glory, the story, the chain, the polo, the night, the grind, the empty bottles of NoDoz/Tank on empty whippin' my momma's Volvo/I spent that gas money on clothes with logos."
