Monday Morning Buzz: A Cocksure Baldwinization

Yeah, sure, this misleading political ad will send the masses to the polls. But it sure is nice to see Daphne Zuniga working again. Seriously when did she suddenly turn 50?

*Am I the only one who thinks that John Mayer's latest song, "Waiting for the world to change," which is enjoying its fifth week at #1 in Canada is completely annoying? What a winey, wannabe, greaseball, jerkoff. We have the worst taste ever. And there this is this at Rolling Stone: "One of the most annoying things about John Mayer is that he’s really smart. He’s funny and quoteable and is always writing/doing/saying amusing stuff that we are forced to enjoy, subsequently creating shame in our hearts. Here’s yet another example." Because the dirtbag put on a bear suit? Please.

*First 4 minutes of Borat Movie up on YouTube. Isss Nicce....

*Apparantly people dress like total slobs, even at benefit dinners. "...as we pulled up to the event with her husband, Billy, in a gleaming black Porsche, instead of seeing unsurpassed casual elegance we saw baseball caps, Hawaiian shirts and women in denim jackets undermining their outfits. What is it about dressing up that sophisticated people now find so off-putting? And who needs guests showing up at Halloween parties who are too cool or smug to bother wearing anything but black? Black is not a costume. It’s a downer." [New York Times]

*I can see why NBC wanted Studio 60to take a break this week - although it seems to be not the case anymore. The show within a show comedy sketches are actually worse than the real Saturday Night Live. Not even sure how that is possible. Saturday is a good example: At least Will Ferrel cameo'd as James Lipton (and that was the funny high-water mark) PS: next week SNL has Hugh Laurie, which means only good can happen.

*Speaking of fake late night TV shows. I think I like 30 Rock, but it is solely because Alec Baldwin is kind of on fire. This week's Must List in Entertainment Weekly calls it like this, "Because we can't get enough of the cocksure alpha-male aggression currently seen on screens both big (The Departed) and small (30 Rock). Alec Baldwin...comic genuis? Okay fine, I mention this only because cocksure is a great word. It's cocksure week here at The Vancouverite. Enjoy it bitches. Here's a taste of Baldwin

*12 Greatest Movie pitches, like ever. If only for the beautiful simplicity of "Black Jaws"

*Those bastards at Kraft. New Miracle Whip apparently is made of water and sucks. No surprise.

*Vancouver better not get any ideas of jumping off Seattle's metronatural cliff. God help us all.
