Happy Monday folks!
There's a new episode of The Matineecast coming - hopefully today - but my host site, mypodcast.com, is having a little bit of technical difficulties at the moment. Thus, I've delayed the accompanying blog post that details the episode until I can be sure you can listen to my handiwork.
In the meantime, perhaps I can offer a visual amusement. Director Spike Jonze - he of BEING JOHN MALKOVICH, and WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE - recently made a short film which played at The Sundance Film Festival. Well now Spike and his sponsor, Absolut, have taken the whole she-bang and put it online.
It's called I'M HERE...and if i may say so, it's quite a lovely little piece of filmmaking!

Just watched the trailer - looks fantastic. Something reminds me of 'Lars and the Real Girl' or that recent Park Chan-Wook film prior to 'Thirst'. Neither of which I have seen, it just has that acoustic-y ballad thing and robots ...
I think I would have liked to see this instead of Where the Wild Things Are.
Saw most of it before some major crash happened--now the webiste only takes me to the "you must have flash" screen.
Anyway, thanks forthe head's up. Love the way the robots emote.

@ Simon... I've seen LARS, it's really quite something, give it a look once you've finished your bender of canadian films.
This really isn't very much like it, but it's really quite a lovely film. Give it a look next time you have half an hour to kill.
@ Fitz... Would have made a great double-feature if you ask me!
@ Floating... Glad to see that you finally got to catch the end of it, and way to stick it to the man by doing it on the company's dime!
Good point - I guess most of Spike Jonze's movies do have a commonality in their final act, though this might be the most moving of them all.
