I just finished watching Tully. It was an enjoyable movie set in rural Nebraska. It was quite an enjoyable movie, but at the same time it was sad and depressing. I won’t give away any spoilers, but it is worth watching. It is from 2002, but still pretty good.
I don’t know how I came to put this in my queue on Netflix, but somehow I did and I am quite glad. If you have seen the movie, let me know.
Well the National Portrait Gallery has garnered great attention lately by placing a photo of Stephen Colbert in the National Portrait Gallery. According to the Smithsonian, Colbert wanted his portrait to hang in the National Portrait Gallery.
After much thought and contemplation, they found an appropriate site to place the portrait, between two bathrooms and above a water fountain. I think it was appropriate.
It is amazing what attention this portrait is garnering. Throughout my stay at the National Portrait Gallery, I walked through most of the exhibition and it was quite enjoyable. All of the artwork is excellent and they have some wonderful exhibits that are there.
But the one portrait that is garnering the most attention is the portrait of Colbert. When I first went up to the second floor I saw this big crowd standing near the portraits of the Presidents. I thought this was a group touring the Portrait Gallery and American Art Museum and I went the other way.
Well, it wasn’t a group. It was a large crowd, that all look like they are in college, waiting to get the photo and look at the portrait of Colbert. It has certainly brought a lot of people to the museum who probably wouldn’t have come to visit. It is bringing in a lot of publicity and I think it was a good call to post the portrait.
So if you are in Washington, D.C., take some time and go enjoy the National Portrait Gallery and American Art Museum. And the portrait of Stephen Colbert.
I saw this video that Jason Calacanis posted on Pownce this afternoon and was rolling on the floor. It is pretty funny and worth watching.
NYC comedian finds lodging at NJ Ikea store : Nation : The Rocky Mountain News
This is a pretty interesting way to spend a week, living in IKEA.
You can check out his experience at: www.marklivesinikea.com
Here is episode 1. It looks pretty crazy.
I can’t image how much publicity IKEA is getting because of this. It probably isn’t costing them too much to do this either.
Britney blindsided by Dr. Phil – Celebrities- msnbc.com
I first want to say that I hope Britney gets the help that she needs. She definitely has gone off the deep end.
This visit by Dr. Phil looks more like a publicity stunt and ratings booster for Dr. Phil then someone who wants to help her. If he wanted to help her, he would have worked through the family and Britney to arrange a visit. Not just show up.
I am amazed that he was able to get through hospital security. It shows that there are two sets of rules. One for us normal folks and one for celebrities.
It looks like Sony BMG is going DRM free through the Amazon Music Store. This is the last major record label that is doing this.
I think that it is pretty cool and will have to start looking at the Amazon Music Store when I am looking to purchase my music. I currently purchase a CD or download it through the iTunes music store, but this looks entriguing since it is higher quality and DRM free.
Thanks to Tom Merritt for posting this article.
I saw this video on Web Ink Now: Say No To Dirt and just had to post it on my own blog.
This is a great ad.
