  • The Underwire points to Barackula, “a short political horror rock musical about young Barack Obama having to stave off a secret society of vampires at Harvard when he was inducted into presidency at the Harvard Law Review in 1990.” The ten minute film is not online yet, but we’ll be first in line for its debut.
  • Speaking musicals that plumb unlikely sources for kitsch, Chuck Palahniuk, David Fincher and Trent Reznor are apparently trying to put together a Broadway show based on Fight Club, to coincide with the film’s ten year anniversary in 2009. American Idol castoffs should start working out now, I guess…
  • Whoops! According to Andy Baio via Steve Bryant, the slow closing of the theatrical to DVD window, of which one benefit is supposedly the reduction of piracy, is actually making piracy worse.
  • Pitchfork’s offers a short review of Kurt Cobain: About A Son, sparked by news that the doc is soon coming to DVD. “So basically what I’m saying is if you want your childhood dreams shattered, go see About a Son. (Kidding.) But really, it’s an essential movie for Nirvana fans.”
  • The apartment that Heath Ledger died in is already on the market––and rent has been jacked up about 15%.
  • EVERY SENTENCE of Ed Gonzales’ review of The Hottie and the Nottie is too good, I can’t isolate just one. Well, maybe this one: “Fuck this movie.” THAT’s a pullquote!
  • This is probably the most horrifying celebrity glamour shot that I’ve ever seen. But this, this and this are all kind of amazing.
