Brian and I watched the first ep of Life’s Too Short last night. This is something that should be shared.

catching up with ‘the killing.’
We’re still two eps behind, but we watched the two hour premiere of season two.
Good Lord! Shit. Just. Got. Real.

Two indie trailers I find interesting.

Your Sister’s Sister
Are there any upcoming movies that Emily Blunt isn’t in? Not that I’m complaining, believe me.

cabin in the woods.
Cabin in the Woods is a really good time. I won’t spoil anything for anyone, but it’s a smart, original, scary, hilarious, crazy fun deconstruction of the genre.
Joss Whedon, I love you.
Also, Cabin in the Woods and this week’s Parks and Rec got me a much needed Bradley Whitford fix. It’s been too long, my friend.

reunited, and it feels so good.
File under the category of ‘Reunions That Never Would Have Crossed My Mind’:
Joseph Gordon-Levitt is currently casting for his directorial debut. The most recent cast member to be confirmed is none other than Tony Danza, who will play JGL’s dad. Danza last teamed with JGL in the indie film powerhouse Disney movie, Angels in the Outfield.
In other important movie news, Catching Fire finally has a director.

the killing.
I finally finished the first season of The Killing, just another of the many great shows I am woefully behind on. Now I’m just a little late in watching this season’s episodes. I’m hoping the second, and final, season will be as good as the first.
Sure, the first season did get a little Law & Order: SVU at the end, but it was so tightly written and acted that I didn’t really care.

i’m in love with the shins again.
I wondered, in the months leading up to the release of Port of Morrow, if the magic would be gone. After so many years, and so many members leaving the band, would James Mercer be able to release another beautiful album under the Shins moniker, or would he have been better off continuing with solo stuff and side projects?
I worried in vain. I love the new album, and it is full to the brim with all the delightful quirk and beauty I could have hoped for. The Shins are back and as good as ever.
The first video for the album is pretty great, too.

gotye.
As anyone who reads this blog with any regularity knows, I’m not afraid to be late to a party, as long as I get to show up. Well, I’m on my way to the Gotye party, because I’ve been kind of obsessed with this song ever since Saturday’s SNL.

dishonored. [gaming.]
Thanks to Dead Island, everyone learned the hard way that a video game can have a brilliant trailer and be a terrible game. In all fairness, I never actually played Dead Island, but by literally all accounts, the game was a shade short of mediocre at best.
Still, this trailer has me pretty excited about the upcoming Dishonored. In it, your are a supernatural assassin hellbent on revenge. No gameplay trailers yet, but the debut trailer looks like Assassin’s Creed and Bioshock had a baby, and it grew up in a steampunk wonderland.
So far, they have my attention.
