I went to the local premiere of the Seattle version of $5 Cover, directed by Lynn Shelton and starring more than a dozen local bands playing slightly fictionalized versions of themselves. I don’t know if this series will cause any of them to blow up into superstardom, but, collectively, the twelve episodes are an understated but gorgeous love letter to our city and its music scene.

It’s so much more comfortable than this trailer suggests. My biggest concern when it first showed up was that it would be really forced, but the whole project feels much more like a gentle documentary than a scripted drama.

rickwebb: The evidence behind health supplements. I’ve been needing something like this my whole life. (via futurewell) The interactive version is nifty, too. [informationisbeautiful] It links to a Google Spreadsheet and refreshes as new information is added.

Best game I’ve watched in years. Possibly the only game in years, but let’s not have that detract from the superlatives.

After waiting for about a half hour in the rain we got to see the Cauldron of Solitude from above the fenceline. Victory!

We got up before dawn today and drive to Vancouver to see some ladies compete for the BRONZE METAL of CURLING. Poor Swotzerland had to concede to China after the eighth end.

OK, so maybe today is “reblogging Vulture” day, but this picture of Claire Danes and Jared Leto at the Elle Fashion awards keeps popping up and I can no longer resist it. The first photo of them together since 1995! How is that even possible? On so many levels. [vulture]

New Dagur Kári movie starring Brian Cox and Paul Dano. I’m not getting to Austin in time to see it at SXSW Film, but if it’s anywhere near as charming as Voksne mennesker, I’m there on opening night. [Vulture] update: trailer. [vimeo]

The Magnetic Fields, at Town Hall. I think that most of them were all at death’s door from colds, though that might be part of their dour antidynamic aesthetic.

Jenny’s dowdy teacher is played by Rushmore’s Olivia Williams. This is good for a laugh, but ultimately it’s a bit disturbing that Olivia once played the hot teacher and now she’s playing the one unfamiliar with mascara.
Eleanor Morrow assesses An Education [This Recording], which ended just about as flatly as possible. So many of the buzz films of last season would have been much improved by leaving the last couple scenes on the old editing room floor or in the DVD special features (see also, A Single Man).
