Entries of note:
1. Jon Stewart — surprise, surprise.
2. Johnny Depp — When the hell is Finding Neverland making it to Singapore screens? I’ve already given up on Garden State (especially since the DVD gets released Dec 28), but it’s awfully annoying when one has to put up with crap like Bridget Jones 2, Blade Trinity and Alexander making it to screens on time in Singapore but not movies that might be, well, any good at all.
5. Zach Braff — I’m done ranting about Garden State and will patiently await the DVD making its way to me across the Pacific Ocean somehow. You who will be visiting California shortly, you know who you are, thankyouverymuch. The article does point out that Braff has a very readable blog (note: the feed doesn’t show up in Firefox’s feed detector, but look on the right menu for the F.O.G.S. feed).
7. Natalie Portman — more love for Garden State. Maybe Closer will make its way here sooner, with all that star power behind it (Jude Law, Julia Roberts).
18. Chris Ware! Now I’m finally convinced I need to buy McSweeney’s Issue 13 and that other scary-looking Chris Ware Drawn&Quarterly production I’ve been ignoring.
39. Marjane Satrapi — still waiting for Persepolis 2 in paperback, though.
42. Peter Sarsgaard — enough with the Garden State lovefest already.
53. James Kochalka — Adding American Elf to my to-get list. Between recollecting the new-trade-dress Sandman paperbacks and all these recommendations, I’m afraid to think how much money Kino has gotten out of me with their 20% discount this month.
64. Art Spiegelman — I’d just noticed In the Shadow of No Towers at Kino, too. Bleeding… money.
