Tarsem Singh, best know for The Cell, has a new moving opening today in LA and NY called The Fall. It’s trippy and you should go watch it or at least watch the trailer for it (above). I’m not sure if there’s even a plot because it looks like one bad acid trip, but IMDB says:
In a hospital on the outskirts of 1920s Los Angeles, an injured stuntman (Pace) begins to tell a fellow patient, a little girl with a broken arm (Untaru), a fantastical story about 5 mythical heroes. Thanks to his fractured state of mind and her vivid imagination, the line between fiction and reality starts to blur as the tale advances.
And now I’m giving away a coffee table book of a bunch of images from The Fall. It is “one coffee table book of all the amazing images from THE FALL hardbound and signed by filmmaker Tarsem and star Lee Pace, these books are not for sale and will be collector items. The book is AMAZING and the images are gorgeous.”
As usual, it will be a caption contest. This one ends May 13, 2008. Picture below.
Rules are simple:
- Come up with a witty caption for the picture above
- Write it down as a comment (preferred) using/leaving a valid e-mail address or email it to me at theblemish (at) gmail.com with the subject “The Fall contest”.
- Watch the movie.
Only one winner will be chosen this time.
P.S. For those who didn’t get the Lars and the Real Girl DVD, I’ve contacted the people who were supposed to send it out and once I hear from them, you’ll hear from me.
Update: The Judge said this was no “accident” and sentenced Nick Hogan to eight months in Penellas County Jail starting right now. In addition, his driver’s license has been revoked for three years and he’s not allowed to drink, but that shouldn’t be a problem since he’s only 17, right? I’d feel sorry for Nick, but you’ll be surprised to learn I’m really against dumbass drunks who race their cars down the highway and paralyze people.
Nick and the rest of the Hogan clan arrived at Pinellas County courtroom where Nick plead no contest for reckless driving involving serious bodily injury. The Grazianos want Nick to spend a year in jail and Nick’s lawyer is considering it with 5 years probation. TMZ has a live stream going on and are live blogging it. Highlights include:
- The State wants Nick to admit that this wasn’t an accident. Moreover, the prosecution — through the family — wants him to do 5 years of probation and 500 hours of community service,
- And Ed Graziano continues, saying that he spends 10 hours a day at the hospital with John, and that John will spend the rest of his life with mental and physical disabilities. Hulk is peering over at the Graziano family. Ed says that when Nick went to the hospital to see John, he looked totally bored, and even shot dart guns and skateboarded around the hospital! OMG!
- Ashley says that Nick’s license plate COEHSP stands for “Capable of Eluding High Speed Pursuit.” Not anymore.
- The Hulk — Terry Bollea’s his real name — steps up: He repeats that John G. was “like a son” and that they went on family trips. Hulk says they sent John PowerBars to Iraq.
- Hulk busts his own show: “People think it’s reality, but it’s scripted!”
You hear that? They sent him PowerBars! Not granola bars. PowerBars. Like a son. Come on judge, don’t be a dick. And that license plate doesn’t mean what she said it means. It means, uh, crap. I got nothing.
Condensed for your pleasure.

Last night at the Playboy Mansion when Jayde Nicole was accepting her award for 2008 Playmate of the Year, Extra asked Hugh Hefner if he’d consider having Miley Cyrus pose for his magazine once she’s of legal age. Hugh replied, “indubitably,” or something along those lines.
“Certainly she’d be welcome to the magazine. She’s a very pretty lady.” As for the drama caused by Cyrus’ VF shoot? “To make such a big to-do over something as innocent as those photos — I think it’s a reflection of how schizophrenic America is about sexuality.”
Somewhere Chris Hansen is at his computer reading this, shaking his head in disappointment. But not for the reason you think. His hot dog fell to the linoleum and rolled under his desk. So sad.
It is with great relief I announce today that Amy Winehouse isn’t done being a complete psycho. A few days ago she was arrested for a leaked video of her smoking crack. Today she was stuck in traffic on the highway and decided to get out of her car to wander up and down the shoulder asking fellow motorists for a light. She also managed to make people more uncomfortable by lifting her shirt up to sunbathe.
I swear. If this lunatic ever gets near my car, I’d roll up my windows, lock my doors and gun it. Much like I do with those homeless people standing on the center divide begging for change, but with a lot more hysterical screaming.
The Kardashians posted a mock PSA on Kim’s website regarding the situation in Burma. The whole video is obviously scripted and done in a way to highlight the collective stupidity of the Kardashians while at the same time attempting to teach people about Burma. Sadly, it failed miserably.
Kim starts by asking what the the benefit is for. “Burping?” “Not burping, Burma,” says Khloe. Kim then says she was kidding and that “I wrote my whole thesis on Burma. It’s a terrible situation over there.” At the end Khloe asks Kim if she really wrote her thesis on Burma and Kim responds, “What’s a thesis? I’m totally kidding.”
While offensive to some, I find this intellectually and physically stimulating. I learned a lot about the Kardashians like how they’re vapid whores and how Kim’s ass looks banging in that green dress. And also a little about burping, I mean, Burma. Tee-hee. Tomorrow they should make a video about that guy who locked his wife daughter and kids in the basement and quip about how tragic it is that they’re so far behind the latest fashion trends. I think it would be really touching. Video below.
A source says Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise are thinking of trying for another kid now that Suri has gone from cute and needy to just needy.
“She said she’s got the itch,” said a friend close to the pair. “Now that Suri is more toddler than baby, she said she misses having an infant in the house. And, of course, she thinks Suri would make a great big sister.”
Tom Cruise is delighted.
“He said if Katie wants to make another baby, she doesn’t have to ask twice,” said the pal of the power couple. “He always wanted more. It was Katie who has been holding off. Until now.”
They’re trying hard to make Tom Cruise look manly, but I still think he runs away crying whenever he sees the clitoris. I heard one time when a doctor told Tom that the penis has to go into the vagina to make babies, he turned ghostly white, curled up in the fetal position, covered his ears and started rocking back and forth.
