‘Cause we are living in a material world…
March 19, 2007
…and terrible films get made for a quick buck.
Forced myself to watch Hilary Duff-vehicle Material Girls last night, one of the worst films I’ve seen since Lord of the Rings 2. And I’m pretty forgiving towards shallow chick flicks. I even quite liked Drive Me Crazy, starring Sabrina the Teenage Witch and the guy who’s now in Entourage, but then it did have the Donnas playing at their prom. I can’t imagine the production team of Material Girls even accidentally doing anything as cute as that.
Watch the trailer here. No, on second thoughts – don’t. Watch the Donnas’ ‘Skintight’ video here.

Bujalski-fest
March 15, 2007
SSP film&dvd is off to see an Andrew Bujalski double bill tonight (Funny Ha Ha and Mutual Appreciation) at the ICA. Will the lo-fi, Cassavetes-influenced comedies be any good? Will I fall asleep before the marathon is over? Can I crowbar Le Tigre lyrics into the review (Alcoholic! Messiah!)? Check the section for more deets.
And please, please, please – will someone go and see Norbit?
