Songs lists

My iTunes Song List, Open it in iTunes!

Well, these aren't my favourite songs (not all of them) but they are the last ones I've been listening to in iTunes. I think maybe one of the reasons I'm interested in watching the upcoming film "Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist" is that tells the story of my music-imbued adolescence, I read the book by Rachel Cohn and David Levithan a few times and it's a giddy experience which, from the distance we have as more adult netizens it turns into a time-travel pill we want to swallow again (with straight-edge drinks). I bet almost every girl/woman from Weirdland played her game with a sensitive musician in their teens. I know I did.
I dated a local musician who played the guitar in a band -one of his favourite bands were The Ramones- and he was blonde, too, like Michael Cera. If sometimes I come off slightly obsessed with characters like Juno, Norah, etc. is because I had similar experiences and I was this self-assured, self-destructive,
partially naïve teenager. Who dated a sensitive dorky blonde guitarist in an indie band. And who made mistakes that were abandoned inside an infinite mixtapes dumpster in Alternia.

Nick & Norah's make-out

17. NICK

"I have never, ever felt such desire. She takes off the belt, lets it drop to the floor. Then she unbuttons the top button of my jeans—only the top button. And I reach over to her jeans and unbutton the top button—only the top button. And I ask it again—“Are you okay?” And this time she says yes. She says she’s more than okay. We kiss like it’s a form of clasping. It’s not like it was in the club, when it was like she was proving something. We have nothing to prove now, nothing except that we’re not afraid. That we’re not going to think too much, or stop too much, or go too much. Her hand traces down the zipper line and I say, “Slow.” Because this is not a rush. This is not something insignificant. This is real. This is happening. And this is ours".
18. NORAH

"When did my life get so good? Was it when I agreed with a kiss to be Nick’s five-minute girlfriend, or when I realized frigid was a choice rather than a truth? This ice room is so very cold. Nick is so very hot. His heat—my heat—our heat—almost makes me forget I am still wet from the downpour, seeking refuge in the darkened ice room of a fucking Marriott with the Pepsi sign lit up, and I am without a doubt really into Nick because I am a Coke drinker, I mean I can take the Pepsi Challenge and fucking smell the difference without bothering to distinguish the two tastes in my mouth. Mmmmmm, tastes. His lips taste so good, his moist skin tastes so good, everything about him is just delicious".

"Candy" reviews and video

"For all its depiction of a descent into drug addiction, "Candy'' is filled with surprisingly sweet moments and goes down more easily than seems possible given the subject matter.

As in "Leaving Las Vegas,'' there's a love story to divert you.
Dan begins a passionate romance with a painter, Candy (Abbie Cornish, an Australian actress touted as the next Nicole Kidman as much for her talent as her luscious looks). They're kids at heart, a point emphasized in an exhilarating opening scene of the two whirling around and around on an amusement park ride. They look as if they never want to stop.Heath and Cornish bring eye-popping realism to their sex scenes.Eager to help with the family finances, Dan considers becoming a male hooker but decides he would be "hopeless with the gay stuff" -- a line that whether intentionally or not will get a laugh out of anyone who saw "Brokeback Mountain".

Ledger is mesmerizing in a scene where Dan pulls off a white-collar crime by going to a bank with a stolen ID and charming a cashier into giving him more than $2,000. Hyped up, he keeps repeating to himself, "I'm rolling,'' like a mantra". Source: www.sfgate.com
"Cornish, Kidman-esque in her elusive, look-but-don't-touch allure, may have the title role here, but Ledger, long-haired and so soft-looking you'd think he was shot slightly out of focus, is the movie's real eye candy. Armfield's colorful sets keep things on the implausibly cheery side of surreal until the requisite withdrawal scene, which uses nothing more than a room-sized mattress and a pathetically old TV set as props, the quivering junkies left to their own devices. Any drug movie's effectiveness can be measured by the strength of its detox, and Candy doesn't sweeten the cold turkey. Still, it's a downward spiral from there in more ways than one. Never mind the neo-psychedelic-pop soundtrack and occasional double-vision cinematography: Dope just can't account for the film's fried brain cells".

"CANDY" FINAL SCENE:

Abbie Cornish and Jake?

"Abbie Cornish is already dating Reese Witherspoon’s ex-husband, Ryan Phillippe, but soon may also be spending a lot of time with Reese’s current squeeze, Jake Gyllenhaal.

An insider tells In Touch that producers on Jake’s next movie are considering Abbie as his leading lady. The sci-fi flick is about an expedition to the moon to start a lunar colony and is due out in 2010.

“This is one of those only-in-Hollywood situations,” the insider says. “It could work out as long as Reese doesn’t visit Jake on the set.”

Can we say a-w-k-w-a-r-d?

Ryan and Rachel

"Ryan Gosling & Rachel McAdams Together Again?
The picture perfect “Notebook” couple is officially back together again!

Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams were spotted kissing and hugging in Toronto, Canada on Thursday morning.

The couple couldn’t keep their hands off each another while enjoying breakfast together at a diner near Rachel’s home. Both Ryan, 27, and Rachel, 31, fed each other, cuddled and held hands before and after breakfast. Rachel even spent most of breakfast in Ryan’s lap! Sizzle. Sizzle. Sizzle.

This reunion comes weeks after the couple spent time together at Hollywood’s Green Door".

Kissing wattage

"The wattage goes way up as two of the bright lights of contemporary writing for teens come together for an incandescent he said/she said night of storytelling... There's perfectly captured teen music-geek talk and delicious stuff about kissing and what lies beyond. Sensual and full of texture." - Kirkus Reviews.
