Modern Noir: Brick.

For all those Joseph Gordon-Levitt Fans out there. It's pretty awesome. and sometimes a little hard to follow.

Bonus Pick.

I felt like sharing another one. The Judd Apatow cult classic Freaks and Geeks (with too many famous people to count, just look it up yourself).

Lindsay Weir (bottom left), is going through an identity crisis, and she doesn't really know where to go socially. She falls in with the Freak group (left). Her little brother Sam, is just starting high school and getting used to being the bottom of the social ladder, with his friends Bill and Neal.
It starts off fairly slowly, but by the second or third episode it's off to the races. A particularly funny instance is the Halloween episode where Bill (he's the tallest geek) dresses up as the Bionic Woman. He just doesn't understand why everyone gives him weird looks. He has great lines in this sequence ("I'm not a little girl, I'm a bionic woman" and "Guys, lets go, my bra is starting to chafe")

Week in Entertainment.

I feel like doing one of those video store clerk picks. I'll probably be doing this once a week; I watch a lot of movies/TV. This week it's Bored to Death (with Jason Schwartzman, Zach Galifianakis, and Ted Danson.

Bored, is about writer Jonathan Ames (Schwartzman), who after going through a break-up starts moonlighting as a detective to find a little direction in his life (or maybe just a distraction from his miserable existence). Galifianakis is his best friend, and is the type of person you'd expect from the actor. Ted Danson is his "sober" Newspaper boss that calls on Ames for random whims. It's fun if you like Schwartzman, but it can be a little overly philosophical and too smart for it's own good at times. So basically fun, but a tad intellectual. Not for everyone, but give it a shot. on HBO (currently on 3rd season) and DVD (2 seasons)

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.

For those of you who have escaped the media frenzy that is the girl with the dragon tattoo (because of either an intense hatred of books, or not wanting to read subtitles, which are oddly similar reasons), David Fincher, director of Fight Club is directing an american remake. Probably toned down for our politically correct audiences, Fincher's visually striking directorial style, should suit the movie quite well, not to mention his experience with serial killers (Se7en and Zodiac). From the trailer it seems to be very similar to the original, save for a better leading man in Daniel Craig, who is much more suited to play the womanizing truth seeker Mikael Blomkvist. Check it out.

If Batman Were a Foodie.

This would be the batphone.

One of my favorite shirts, it's useful in multiple situations. It's also awesome. I just want the phone.

Franklin Barbecue.

Not having the chance to visit Texas BBQ legend Snow's, i can't say anything is the best*, but it sure was the best damn BBQ I've ever had. The Ribs are a simple dry rub job, but incredibly succulent. The sausage is a little fluffy and properly spiced. The pulled pork is cut more like chopped beef and among the most tender meats i've ever had the pleasure of eating. The coup de grace though is the Brisket.

It's moist beyond belief, and is easily separated by the plastic utensils (the fact that that is all they have is a little boastful), not to mention the fatty burnt ends which are best described as liquid brisket. So rich, with a beautiful char, it melts in your mouth like some meaty butter from god. And while we are on the subject of god, the owners are some of the nicest people you could ever meet, which is especially helpful when you consider they often have a 2+ hour wait. I got there at an hour before the place opened and i still wasn't the first in line. Having stood in line for 2.5 hours before, I can say with out a doubt that it is worth it, but only for those who take their food seriously (which if you are reading this you probably do). I suggest going with friends to help pass the time though.

Franklin is open every day except monday from 11 to sold out (which usually occurs before 11, so get there early; around 9:30-10, or go after 12:30, but you may only get scraps), at 900 E. 11th Austin TX.

*Having been multiple times and talking with people in line who have been, they swear Franklin is better.
