George Watsky- "If I Were President" video

"My poem 'Pickup Line Protest' shortened for Good Magazine and 247 Townhall's 'If I Were President Series.' Filmed at the 2008 Democratic National Convention in Denver.

So this poem is made pretty much irrelevant by Barack Obama's election. I've pretty much retired it at live shows for that reason, but thought it might be interesting to folks".

S. Darko full trailer

"S. Darko takes place in the summer of 1995, seven years after the original film. It follows Donnie Darko’s younger sister, Samantha (Daveigh Chase), who, in the wake of his death, has found herself at age 17 with a broken family, mired in feelings of insignificance. She and her best friend Corey (Evigan) set off on a road trip to Hollywood in a bid to ‘make it big’, but their journey is cut short when their car breaks down unexpectedly, leaving them stranded in a small desert town. When a meteorite happens to crash-land nearby, Samantha is plagued by bizarre visions telling of the universe’s end and it appears that their breakdown was part of some grander plan. When she finds out she was actually adopted by the Darkos, and that she is in no way related to Donnie, she must face her own demons and, in doing so, save the world and herself".

Prince of Persia poster and video

The Prince of Persia Poster from "Confessions of a Shopaholic".

ET Online video interview with Jake Gyllenhaal, showing quick snippets of action, Jake having some fun and Jerry Bruckheimer.

Interview transcript:

"I over-prepared myself because I never knew how much they were going to ask me to do, so I just made sure I'd be hopefully able to do anything," a playful Jake tells Thea.

The former 'Brokeback Mountain' star trained for months before the arduous Moroccan desert shoot, and has been training daily to maintain his action-hero physique, gaining five pounds of muscle.

"I guess I've gotten buff," he shrugs. "There's a lot acrobatics in the movie -- a lot of running up walls, and jumping on things and Parkour, so it requires muscularity, but it requires a lot of aerobic ability too."

When filming finally wraps, Jake promises with a smile, "It's going to turn into fat and I'm going to be happy."

'Pirates of the Caribbean' blockbuster producer Jerry Bruckheimer is bringing 'Prince of Persia' to life, based on the hugely popular video game and scheduled to open in theaters on May 28, 2010. The story finds Jake as Dastan, a young Persian prince who must join forces with the beautiful and feisty princess Tamina (played by 'Quantum of Solace' Bond girl Gemma Arterton) to prevent a villainous nobleman (Ben Kingsley) from possessing the Sands of Time -- a gift from the gods that can reverse time and allow its possessor to rule the world.

"I'm running away from family and I'm running away from bad guys and I'm trying to prove my innocence", says Jake, trying to keep the play-by-play plot details a secret. "There's so many extraordinary elements throughout the movie."

RECord: Photo Journal Collaboration

Thank you a lot, Lisa, for updating me about our collective Photo Journal project in Hitrecord, I love you, darling! Congrats to you specially for being our "maestro" (that's how Joe called you) masterminder!!

"A collaborative project beginning on July 4, 2007 in V2.

On August 31, 2007, after the first 2 frames were taken in San Francisco, the little blue box began it's death defying journey.
540 days later, it safely returned to San Francisco on December 24, 2008 (via Santa and his sleigh).

The film has been processed. The journal is in the process of being photographed. Copious records to follow soon.
