It didn't take long for 2010 to yield its first great film: ""Greenberg,"" the sixth feature by writer/director Noah Baumbach, is an awesome achievement on many levels. The movie isn't a must-see due to its prickly tenderness or its stealthy hilariousness; rather, it would work in even without those commendable qualities.
With several contenders in the battle royale of french fries, comparisons are need to show those who rise into the spotlight. Those with burnt ends or soggy stature are left in the darkest corners of the basket, doomed for the alley dumpster. How, then, can one determine the titan of taters? It's all about form.
The other day, I was passing my time in the Cardinal office by reading some old issues from a few years ago. Not just because I was curious as to what Mayor Dave's favorite rock 'n' roll album of all time was (a standard question for The Daily Cardinal when interviewing politicians), but also because I wanted to see what my predecessors wrote for film columns.
Ugh, finally home. Oh shit, those are definitely women's flip flops on the rug. Crap. This can only mean one thing: She's here.
I still cannot help but shake my head every time I watch any game that involves Ohio State and the television camera squares up on the ridiculous head of Brutus the Buckeye.
The semester break brings spare time, and with it the opportunity to contemplate the great questions of life. I spent virtually the entire break trying to decide which of the great mysteries to ponder. With only a few days of break left, I finally hit on the question I wanted to devote my life to understanding: What the fuck were Beyoncé and her producers thinking when they released Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)""?
When the 2008 college football season came to a close, the familiar chant of Playoffs, playoffs,"" rose loudly from overzealous fans, angry columnists and a number of coaches.
Back in October, Mark Wahlberg starred in the movie adaptation of the popular video game Max Payne."" It was the story of a man double-crossed and out for redemption, a plot that seemed perfect for adaptation. With Wahlberg providing the star power and video game fans providing the hypothetical box office revenue, the film seemed destined to be a hit.
The holiday season is a time compulsive shoppers relish, indulging in great bargains, teeming shopping malls and the excuse to buy mountains of meaningless crap. But, for the music fan, the holidays represent a minefield of problematic traditions.
WHO'S HOT
After a week of Football 101 in practice, the 3-4 Badgers will look to get out of their Big Ten rut in Saturday's homecoming game against Illinois.
On Friday, Oct. 3, UW Band director Mike Leckrone and Dean of Students Lori Berquam announced the suspension of the band amidst hazing allegations. Six days later allegations were confirmed, and the suspension was lifted, under the provision that the band would not travel for the time being,"" according to Berquam. Six days later, that restriction was lifted as well. See a pattern emerging?
Recently, many people have been up in arms about the purported economic crisis. The Dow Jones has fallen to record lows, credit markets have been failing and the banks are going down the tubes. Yet, none of these financial woes signifies the end of civilization as we know it. That fateful sign occurred this past weekend, when Beverly Hills Chihuahua"" made $29.7 million, topping the box office. For a country in crisis, where people will supposedly soon be losing their homes and their life savings, people sure seem willing to throw $9.25 at a movie starring Drew Barrymore as the voice of a whiny rat-dog named Chloe.
As the presidential election draws closer, I am increasingly thrilled to be a senior at a politically active university in arguably the most crucial American period in the last few decades. I am grateful that I have an active interest in electing one of this election cycle's presidential candidates, rather than mere excitement towards replacing an incumbent, regardless of who takes over. I say this because four years ago, when I was 900 miles east of this politically enveloped college town, I found myself having to settle for the lesser of two evils. Perhaps this was simply an unenthused response from a 17-year-old who could not vote, or perhaps it truly was a consistent attitude toward the fact that the presidential election was between two individuals who both initially supported waging war on Iraq.
The strongest people learn to survive. If a plane ever crashes in the middle of a deserted island you must learn to drink your own pee, eat little animals' insides, or, if you're lucky, join the cast of Lost.
Can you hear it? That audible hum of the media hype machine going into overdrive and promising us the greatest exhibition of college football that has ever been seen by human eyes. A game played with such a high level of skill that tears will simply well up in the eyes of anyone viewing the sheer majestic beauty of it all.
By the time 2008 is through, we will have undergone a steady barrage of comeback albums from R.E.M., Portishead, the Eagles, Robert Plant and plenty more, all to varying degrees of tolerability. Meanwhile, potential albums from My Bloody Valentine and Guns N' Roses, perhaps the two most anticipated comebacks of the last several years, still don't show any signs of being close to complete. For more than a decade, that hasn't stopped Kevin Shields or Axl Rose, respectively, from promising that a new album is ever-closer to release, even as audiences increasingly have reason to call their bluff.
Out on the town a couple weeks ago, I got a campaign call from a candidate who really wanted to revolutionize the system. Intrigued by his position, I went to his website, where he offered me these words: The people need change, they want change, they demand change - and we're going to give them change!"" Though there are many who would rather see a certain other candidate elected, he's got my vote. I believe in Harvey Dent, the front-running candidate for Gotham City district attorney.
