Blindness Trailer!

Jose Saramago's novel Blindness is one of my favorite books. Blindness is the tale of an unexplained epidemic of blindness that breaks out in a modern city. The story centers around a small group of individuals, one of whom is a woman who seems to be the only person immune to the outbreak and retains her vision throughout the course of evens. The book is a really fascinating, and frankly terrifying, look at what happens when the rules and laws of society break down and the most base human instincts and will to survive emerge.

Today, imagine my joy at discovering that the trailer for the film adaptation of Blindness has premiered. The film stars Julienne Moore, Mark Ruffalo and Gael Garcia Bernal (whose character is NOT a nice guy). The film is directed by Fernando Meirelles who gave us City of God and the superb film The Constant Gardener. I gotta say I am excited about this one Meirelles may do it right.

Socialite Slapdown

Calling all my Vogue, NY Mag, and New York Social Diary Readers...

Head over to socialiteslapdown.com to play The New York Observer's bracket and vote on your favorite socialite.

The player who comes closest to predicting the results of the entire tournament has the opportunity to win a Gervill designer watch--although I would much rather get an invite to next year's Costume Institute Ball.

Random aside, but I'd like to see the gorgeous Miss Zoe Kravitz take her place on the New York social scene but the first step would be for her to never wear these run over shoes again.

MuraWhhaaa???

So I was thinking of taking my little sister to the Murakami exhibit this weekend at the Brooklyn museum but then I saw this piece from the exhibit and I feel like I may have to do some uncomfortable explanations of the birds and the bees:








Hmmm......

Dope Bjork Video

So I'm a Bjork fan. I totally did her strange Icelandic Bjokrness.

For the new single 'Wanderlust' off of her album Volta she is releasing a crazy CG video that will be available via DVD in 3D.

You can find versions of the video at a number of sites but go here to see a really sleek high def version. It takes FOREVER to load but it's worth it to see the visuals. If you don't have the patience check it below:
