one thumb sideways

as promised, i'm back with yet another thrilling mini-review, this time of 'factory girl,' the trailer for which i savaged in an earlier post. turns out, it wasn't too bad. sienna miller, who i only know from tabloids (i mean, i hear she's in them a lot, i wouldn't know), was fantastic. hayden christensen as dylan: made my ears bleed. guy pearce as andy warhol: best warhol performance i've seen (much better than david bowie in 'basquiat' and somewhat better than 'jared harris' in 'i shot andy warhol.') the costume design was amazing and the set design was pretty good, too. ileana douglas appears in two scenes as diana vreeland and stinks up the joint but good.

plan to watch a few more this weekend and will return with battle tales for you all.

in the meantime, please enjoy a fantastic track i've been wearing out lately:
