Buzz Dump: Lifestyle is a terrible thing to waste

It's Thursday, or Friday, depending on where you are right now. So let's ease into the weekend or Friday with some completely inane links and such to celebrate the birth of Messiah Shiloh Pitt, the death of Zarqawi, the fact that China is banning the Da Vinci Code on the eve of my arrival, and the fact that hunky Ryan Reynolds has finally split with that hippy pretending to be Alanis Morrisette. On with the links:

*Kind of love this interview by Book Slut of Anthony Bourdain about food, violating Somoans, and hanging out with Chuck Palahniuk.

*Phoebe Cates is clearly a vampire, she hasn't aged since 1989.

*Criterion Dazed and Confused. Dude. That's sweet. Or as Wooderson would say, "The older you get, the more rules they are going to try and get you to follow. You just gotta keep on livin', man. L-I-V-I-N."

*The DVD for Mr. & Mrs. Smith kind of pulls far off the original campaign's cool design and typography to capilize on the sexual chemistry of Mr. & Mrs. Shiloh.

*Stephen Colbert does college comencement speech with hilarious results. "Now I know you're all going to say, "Stephen, Stephen, immigrants built America." Yes, but here's the thing--it's built now. I think it was finished in the mid-70s sometime. At this point it's a touch-up and repair job. But thankfully Congress is acting and soon English will be the official language of America. Because if we surrender the national anthem to Spansih, the next thing you know, they'll be translating the Bible. God wrote it in English for a reason! So it could be taught in our public schools."

*Good lord. Another Trump show using the Monopoly brand this time. Do not pass go, do not collect $200, please?

*I kind of just love these outrageously fun and bluntly honest ads - fake or real, I don't know - for a jungle lodge and safari.

*In some ads for the new season of Entourage, they go with the tagline, "Lifestyle is a terrible thing to waste. Meanwhile Gawker notes that in other ads they focus on confusing Ari Gold adds that make no sense at all. Discuss.

*Just because. Kurosawa directed Suntory whiskey ads with Francis Ford Coppola.
