Ever wanted to watch 28 minutes of Arnold killing people?
Or how about a teaser for the new Christopher Nolan movie?
Or how about a trailer with actual material to get excited about for the new 22 Jump Street. Looks like they did same as last movie and put all the funny stuff in the trailer.
Or the new Adam Sandler / Drew Barrymore rom-com trailer. Clearly my sources getting lazy and only visiting movie trailer sites.

I read a book or two about the history of South Africa after being there a few years ago that were interesting. But what’s better than reading about it? A highly-dramatised Hollywood version of it, of course. I never got around to seeing Invictus, but hope I can catch the movie: Mandela: Long Walk To Freedom. Though the interest is more likely because I have been enjoying a lot of stuff with Idris Elba lately, including The Wire, Rock’N’Rolla, and Luther. Whatever the reason, anyone in?
If not, then how about any of the other awesome-looking movies coming out this month? David O. Russel’s American Hustle looks like it is worth the price just for the clothes and hair in the trailer. I was sold on Wolf of Wall Street when Leo and Scorsese were mentioned, but the trailer is amazing too.
Don’t like any of that? How about you put try to put your ear on Lady Gaga’s chest?

A while ago, Austin showed me the Writers Almanac, which is Garrison Keillor reading some some and noting that date/week in literary history. The other day I found a little less literary, little more hilarious podcast called The Dead Authors Podcast which is Paul F. Tompkins as H.G. Wells interviewing other comedians as dead authors. After a few listens, it seems some of the comedians only read the author’s wikipedia page, but still can be pretty funny. The last one I listened to was Brian Stack (who I only know from Late Night with Conan O’Brien) pretending to be Irish writer Brendan Behan. After reading more about him, I started listening to the many versions of the Auld Triangle, which was written his brother Dominick for his play, The Quare Fellow.
That long exposition is just to show this clip of Justin Timberlake, from the Coen Brother’s Inside Llewyn Davis, singing the song with Marcus Mumford and guys from the Punch Brothers. It seems like another impressive T-Bone Burnett soundtrack that you can stream on NPR, but here is the song:
