Michel Gondry Melts My Ice Cold Heart!

There is a "Gondry Sweded Trailer" that has Michel Gondry reenacting the Be Kind Rewind Trailer that he erased!  French men naturally have cuteness going for them in the cliche sort of way, but Gondry is an adorable original.

Be Kind Rewind at Deitch

The Deitch Projects gallery is featuring a Michel Gondry "Be Kind Rewind" exhibition .  At the 18 Wooster Street, New York, NY location near you till March 22, 2008.

Be Kind Rewind is a film about two childhood friends living in Pasaic, New Jersey, trying to make ends meet. After one of the characters accidentally gets his brain magnetized by trying to sabotage a local power plant, he visits the video store his friend is taking care of while the owner is away and unknowingly erases all of the video tapes in the store’s inventory. The characters decide to make their own homemade versions of popular films in a junkyard behind the store. These new “sweded” films—recreations using commonly available, everyday materials—prove more popular with the customers than the originals, making the two friends local celebrities.

For the exhibition, Michel Gondry will be recreating the video store in the gallery, complete with a back lot containing a variety of movie sets where visitors can make their own renditions of films. All videos created during the exhibition can be viewed in the gallery. About the project, Gondry states, “I don’t intend nor have the pretension to teach how to make films. Quite the contrary. I intend to prove that people can enjoy their time without being part of the commercial system and serving it. Ultimately, I am hoping to create a network of creativity and communication that is guaranteed to be free and independent from any commercial institution.”

MADGE MOVIE!

Filth and Wisdom premiered at The Berlin Film Festival. 

"The message in pop star Madonna's first outing as a feature film director, "Filth and Wisdom," is that all of us can find peace of mind and happiness if we just get in touch with our inner slut."

--The Hollywood Reporter

While that may not be the exact message her Madgesty wants to convey, the review does point out the appeal of the film, which has this slut salivating at the mouth.

Judge For Yourself

Paula Abdul debuted the video "Dance Like There's No Tomorrow" -her newest single in twelve years.  The video really has nothing to offer, but the song is quite the obsessive compulsive disorder's delight.
