Media Notes: Frank Edition

*Can you believe we forgot to honor the birthday of Frank Sinatra? It's almost like a holiday of "ring-a-ding-ding" and we totally forgot. Shame on us. We blame our friend Anthony, who clearly dropped the ball, again. But the good news is that Grid Skipper did a pretty sweet 1967 film, "Tony Rome" . The short round up - featuring this amazing photo essay that highlights the movie's excessive beer drinking (what happened to the gasoline Franky?) and "pointing" - oh, and the magic that was 1960's Miami.

*Speaking of beer drinking, Bud Light launches Ted Ferguson - Bud Light Daredevil onto the world with somewhat funny results.

*Hey it's Golden Globe nomination morning! These are the best, most drunkest, funnest awards ever. Highlights: Best Film, Drama: Brokeback Montain, The Constant Gardener, Good Night and Good Luck, History of Violence, Match Point. Best Director: Woody Allen (Match Point), George Clooney (Good Night and Good Luck), Peter Jackson (King Kong), Ang Lee (Brokeback Mountain), Fernando Mereilles (The Constant Gardener), Steven Spielberg (Munich). Gothamist reports that, "Brokeback Mountain walked away with 7 nominations, including Best Picture (Drama), Director, Actor, Supporting Actress (Michelle Williams)."

*In related Golden Globe news Peter Jackson apparently put on his King Kong outfit and made his way to L.A. with a mission to wreck the city because his $200+ million monkey movie only got two nominations. Kong Mad. Kong Smash.

*Ricky Gervais interviews Cold Play's Chris Martin. Priceless.

*Celeste Ward at AdFreak asks a question worth asking. "Does anyone know a human being who has received a brand-new car for Christmas with a bow on top? It’s baffling why so many ads show this."

I don't know about you guys, but I sat at home last night, enjoyed a JD and water on the rocks, and listened to One For My Baby (And One More For The Road) on my iPod. Yeah, I dropped the ball...CNN.com try it...you'll like it, it's got news and stuff.
