Do you want to go in the bathroom and smoke a cigarette with me?

i have a slight crush on the uber-talented jason schwartzman, i'll admit it. all of these photos are from a 2009 campaign with band of outsiders, which usually features only the coolest actors/musicians. he's quirky and tends to choose projects that are completely original, or at least helluva interesting. he stars in one of my favourite shows, bored to death, which also features ted danson and zach galifianakis. he's a struggling writer as well as a private detective on the side. the show is witty and well written and since the day i spotted it on hbo i was hooked. he also stars alongside owen wilson and adrien brody in the criterion collection classic, the darjeeling limited. i could watch this movie continuously on repeat. if you haven't seen either of these shows/movies you need to. then get back to me on your jason schwartzman obsession, 10 points to the person who knows what movie the title of this post if from.

return of the mac

i know these arn't recent, but i just happened to watch party monster for the first time a couple weeks ago, and it made wish that macaulay culkin would make a grand return to films. i know his family is sprinkled throughout hollywood, but there's nothing quite like the original prankster.

he just did this film which i linked above, i have no idea what it's about except that it was filmed entirely on an iphone and when i scrolled through it i saw him in a luigi costume, so it's gotta be something crazy. it also features appearances by pete doherty and devendra banhart. after a little research i found that the flick follows director green and his band as they head off on a surreal adventure which sees them transported into a super mario game in an avant garde fantasy, apparently fuelled by ketamine.

these photos were taken by none other than photographer to the stars, terry richardson, in 2007. can you believe he was 27! does keven mcallister ever age!?

like crazy

i'm not usually one for sappy love stories, but this one caught my attention. it vaguely reminds me of the feeling i get while watching nick and norah's infinite playlist (one of my favourites). two lovers from different sides of the world try to beat the odds by facing expired visas and what feels like an eternity of time between each visit.

true romance

is anyone else obsessed with collecting movies from the criterion collection? if you haven't heard of it , you need to check it out, you'd be surprised how many of your favourite flicks are included. they select only the most important classics and contemporary films ever created. i just saw the new cover of true romance, and it sparked my need to collect more movies. i think i have about 15 so far.
