Jimmy Kimmel
or is this carrer Suidce
From the NY Daily News:
Tuesday afternoon, at the network’s annual presentation of its fall schedule to advertisers, Kimmel did a routine on the absurdity of selling shows that within a few months will mostly be cancelled.
As he has done in previous years, he made fun of the networks for the amusement of the people who keep those same networks in business.
As they have done in previous years, the advertisers laughed.
And then, Wednesday morning, guess what?
Network executives had to deal with the faux fallout from a New York Times blog that suggested Kimmel was lucky to still have a job after a screed like that.
The executives weren’t exactly laughing. Call it more like a loud sigh.

They have a contest for a event
feating Anthony Bourdain/Mario Batali event
at The Paramount Theater on May 30th
From Seattle Theaher groupe Web site
http://stgpresents.org
Anthony Bourdain and Mario Batali, alleged “bad boys of cuisine,” are not your typical celebrity chefs. Witness the two as they discuss the world of restaurants, chefs and cooking in what is sure to be a colorful evening of foodie banter. Joined in the mix to moderate the discussion is Seattle’s Luke Burbank, host of KIRO Radio’s “Too Beautiful to Live.”
Bourdain returns to Seattle after a sold out engagement last year at The Moore Theatre. Bourdain is as irreverent, opinionated and entertaining as always in The Nasty Bits, his book of essays derived in part from his popular television travelogue series, “No Reservations.” Bourdain is the author of seven books, including Kitchen Confidential and A Cook’s Tour.
Batali co-wrote A Culinary Road Trip to Spain with actress Gwyneth Paltrow. Now on PBS, the book comes to life as “Spain…On the Road Again” starring Batali, Paltrow, food writer Mark Bittman and actress Claudia Bassols.

James Harrison, White House Visit: "I Don't Want To Go"
From the Haffington Post via A.P.:
Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker James Harrison can't believe there's so much fuss being made about him skipping the Super Bowl champions' White House visit with President Barack Obama on Thursday.
Harrison will bypass the traditional ceremony, just as he did when the Steelers were honored by President George W. Bush at the White House in June 2006.
"Why is it a big issue now that I'm not going if it wasn't a big issue the last time?" Harrison said Tuesday after an offseason practice.
But there is a bigger exsussc behind it:

Kills rumor of the day:
NOT AWESOME
From NME:
The Kills' Alison Mosshart responds to Jack White brawl rumours
The Kills' frontwoman Alison Mosshart has issued a statement regarding tabloid rumours that she and Jack White recently engaged in a fist fight while drinking in a New York bar.
According to Mosshart, she and The White Stripes man, with whom she's collaborating in the new band The Dead Weather, did no such thing.
"I don't usually bother responding to ridiculous fabricated tabloid rumours, but this one is particularly grotesque," she said. "The stories circulating from a UK tabloid of a 'fist fight', or Jack punching me, or the two of us 'being at each others throats' are untrue.
"I'm just wrapping up a tour with The Kills and then I'll be back with The Dead Weather for the release of the album and a tour. It's a really great group of people to work with and I can't wait for everyone to hear the album."
Since it was debunk

Can a dog bowl start a fire? Test shows idea does hold water
NOT AWESOME
From the Seattle TImes:
A metal stand, pieces of wood and a glass bowl partially filled with water — fire danger on a sunny day?
Turns out, blaming a fire on a dog water bowl isn't as goofy as it sounds.
A Bellevue Fire Department investigator said earlier this week that he suspects a house fire started when a partially filled glass bowl, resting in a wire stand on the home's deck, concentrated the sun's rays like a magnifying glass.
There was nothing else in that area of the house — no smokers, no electrical devices — that could have caused the fire. The blaze last Sunday destroyed the deck, badly burned the adjacent kitchen — and left some people wondering if the investigator was serious.
"People were trying to guess as to whether or not he had lost his mind," joked Lt. Eric Keenan, the Fire Department's community liaison officer.
So Keenan grabbed his old college physics book and started working out the scenario on paper.
"I thought, 'You know what, I think he's got something.' "

From boingboing.net:
Protests are taking place today in Guatemala City to demand justice for an attorney who was assassinated on Sunday, and who claimed in a posthumously released YouTube video taped before his death that if he were to die, it would be at the orders of Guatemalan president Álvaro Colom.
Quick background: The slain attorney, Rodrigo Rosenberg, represented a man who refused to take an assigment by Guatemala's president to serve on the board of a bank widely known as a money laundering hub and a shelter for narcotrafficking spoils. This whistleblower client of Rosenberg, Khalil Musa, was assassinated in March. On Sunday, after reportedly refusing to participate in the corruption and the coverup, Rosenberg himself was assassinated.

Tetro
Director: Francis Ford Coppola
Wednesday, June 10th
Egyptian Theatre
Argentina proves an inviting canvas for Francis Ford Coppola's first original screenplay since 1974. Tetro focuses on an artistically gifted family fractured by an overbearingly successful father and several relocations. Recalling fond memories of his exiled older brother 'Tetro,” the ingenuous 17-year-old Bennie (Alden Ehrenreich) leaves New York in search of his sibling, but Tetro (Vincent Gallo) has dissociated himself and refuses to write. After being turned away by his brother, Bennie seeks refuge with Tetro's girlfriend Miranda (Maribel Verdú) in Buenos Aires' eclectic La Boca neighborhood and discovers unfinished writing projects in her house that explain the reasons for Tetro's ostracism. Bennie decides to pen the conclusion to one of the unfinished plays despite warnings from Miranda. Facing violent resistance from his brother, he submits the play to the famed critic 'Alone” (Carmen Maura), who selects it as a finalist for the most important literary prize in the country. Striking thematic parallels and Coppola's intimate direction seamlessly frame this semi-autobiographical drama.

Passing Strange
Tuesday, June 2nd
Kirkland Perfomance Center
Director: Spike Lee
Part rock concert, part memoir, part Broadway musical, Spike Lee's new documentary Passing Strange breaks conventions to tell its story of a young L.A. songwriter's international journey to self-discovery. A profound autobiographical treatise on black identity, told in both past and present time, it places itself more in line with the works of James Baldwin and Ralph Ellison than with traditional film. An amazing cinematic translation of Passing Strange, the Tony-award winning musical by singer-songwriter Stew (leader of L.A. band The Negro Problem), the film tells the story of the adult Stew and his younger self, the teenaged Youth. An aspiring musician, Youth strains against the complacency and bourgeois aspirations of his mother's middle-class life, eventually leaving Los Angeles for Europe in his quest for something he calls the real. Alternately melancholy and amazed, Stew watches and narrates as Youth fumbles his way to maturity on a European voyage that takes him to the liberations of Amsterdam and the post-punk cabarets of Berlin. One-upping the Broadway show, Lee doesn't just break down the fourth wall, he uses 14 cameras to place you into the onstage performance and immerse you in the backstage creative energy of the live show. Passing Strange is an amazing testimonial to two iconoclastic artists working at the top of their game.
Humpday
Sunday, June 7th
Egyptian Theatre
Director: Lynn Shelton
Settling into his marriage with Anna, Ben has a steady job and plans to start a family. But when his old college buddy Andrew shows up unannounced at 1:30 a.m., the two quickly fall back into their old competitive ways. A decade after college, they each see each other\'s lives very differently: Ben thinks Andrew has become an aimless ne\'er-do-well, and Andrew thinks Ben has become emasculated by married life. To save Ben from further domestication, Andrew takes him to a party at a sex-positive commune where booze and drugs abound. When talk at the party turns to a local weekly's amateur porn contest (based on a real competition sponsored by Seattle's "The Stranger") Andrew wants in. With neither man willing to back down from a challenge, they decide that the most groundbreaking porn two heterosexual dudes can make would be having sex together�on camera. It's beyond gay; it's an art project, they tell themselves. But how exactly do they do this? And who's going to tell Anna? Lynn Shelton has created a hilarious film about the complexities and contradictions of the male ego, mixing knowing satire with profound emotional discoveries, and culminating in one of the most uproariously uncomfortable finales in recent memory.
The Immaculate Conception of Little Dizzle
Saturday, May 23
SIFF Cinema
Sunday, May 24,
Egyptian Theatre
Director: David Russo
Local filmmaker David Russo's debut feature is truly a one-of-a-kind film experience. Simultaneously cynical and life-affirming, Russo's comedy manages to incorporate biochemical engineering, corporate chicanery, drug addiction and high-art pretension—all while maintaining an amiable, insouciant charm. After Dory is fired from his corporate job, he's forced to take a 'brown-collar” position cleaning office toilets with a pack of janitorial misfits. Accepting of his search for spiritual and human connection, the group quickly becomes his adoptive family. They make the most of their nights by helping themselves to whatever goodies are left behind by the daytime office staff. But when they unwittingly become the subject of a product-testing experiment by one of the companies in the building, they begin to experience some very unusual hallucinations and other side effects. These visuals provide a great platform for Russo's innovative visual design and animation skills, as well as those of Dutch animator Rosto. Little Dizzle is spiritual quest in sheep's clothing; a complex film of ideas disguised as a shaggy-dog comedy. Beneath its constant visual invention, the film creates a quirky, playful world which questions the lines between trash and treasure, and asks what one should try to hold onto in our increasingly disposable society, and what one should let go.
Morris: A Life With Bells On
Saturday, May 23
Sunday, May 24
SIFF Cinema
Director: Lucy Akhurst
For those who think the English folk dance Morris is just an innocent pub pastime involving hanky-waving and bearded men with staffs, you've never seen its politics-laden, ultra-competitive side. Under the auspices of the governing Morris Circle, dance troops throughout England compete against each other in cutthroat tournaments. Follow the fortunes of one such side, Millsham Morris, and its avant-garde leader Derecq Twist, in their pursuit for Morris perfection. In his Morris prime, Derecq is both a traditionalist and an innovator. One the one hand, he is preparing to perform the ultimate move in Morris Dance, the mystical and legendary Threeple Hammer Damson. And yet, on the other hand, he is pioneering an innovative, daringly freeform brand of the dance dubbed 'Extreme Morris,” drawing the ire of the more orthodox elements within the Morris dance community. But when Millsham Morris unveils their creation in competition, the Morris Circle bans Derecq from future competition. Devastated by the decision, Derecq embarks on a global odyssey through tragedy and triumph, which gravely tests his passion to Morris.
The Baby Formula
Tuesday, June 2nd
Egyptian Theatre
Friday, June 5th
Kirkland Perfomance Center
Saturday, June 6th
SIFF Cinema
Director: Alison Reid
The Baby Formula mixes cutting edge science, sexual politics, and a healthy dose of humor to concoct what may be the sleeper hit of the Festival. Lesbian couple Athena and Lilith want a biological child of their own so badly that they convince a scientist in a fertility lab to use an experimental scientific process to impregnate Athena with 'female sperm” created from Lilith's stem cells, but on one condition: the experiment must be kept secret. But when Lilith uses the same method to get pregnant behind Athena's back, and the parentage of Lilith's baby is then called into question, the couple is forced to divulge the truth of their experimental conceptions to their families. Full of humor and unexpected twists, the resulting family meeting erupts in a collision of differing views. Shot in an improvisational mockumentary style from the beginning through the final credits, Alison Reid's film benefits from serendipitous casting (both lead actresses were actually pregnant during shooting) and hilarious improvisational acting. Reid, a veteran stunt coordinator and performer, demonstrates her directing chops with a great ear for family interaction in this film that celebrates love, acceptance, and the gift of life in all its forms.
Also mention by Luke as a Must see at the SIFF
The Bear
Friday, June 12th
Triple Door
Director: Jean-Jaques Annaud
When a rockslide kills a mother bear, her cub Douce becomes an orphan in the threatening Canadian Rockies. Luckily, she encounters Bart, a full-grown male bear on the run from hunters after mauling their pack animals. Though the ill-tempered Bart initially rejects Douce's companionship, the cub wins his affection by licking Bart's gunshot wounds. Psychedelic mushroom trips and a rendezvous with Doc (the effeminate male bear who plays Bart's love interest) are woodland fun at its finest, but the invasive fear of being hunted drives The Bear forward. Staged with trained bears and filmed in the Italian Dolomites, Jean-Jacques Annaud's film seems like realism in drag as documentary. Yet it's this feeling that makes The Bear a magical discovery and a welcome departure from the ordinary wildlife exposé. Los Angeles duo No Age will add their musical interpretation to the film by performing original music during the screening. No Age's Randy Randall and Dean Allen Spunt garnered acclaim with their debut album Weirdo Rippers (2007) and, after signing with the Seattle-based label Sub Pop, released Nouns (2008) to similar critical success. As Douce and Bart sift through the maladies and joys of their precarious existence, so too does No Age's music filter raw sensation through art-punk chaos.
All Tomorrow's Parties
Tuesday, May 26th
Egyptian Theatre
Thursday, May 28
Neptune Theatre
Director: All Tomorrow's People, Jonathan Caouette
On the eve of its tenth anniversary, the All Tomorrow's Parties music festival is an ingenious testament to alternative music, communal living, and iconoclastic creativity. Founded by Belle & Sebastian's Barry Hogan in 1999 as an alternative to larger, more corporate festivals, ATP is a sponsorship-free festival where the organizers, artists, and fans all stay in the same chalet-style housing complex. Every year the event is curated by a specific artist or band, essentially making each festival a concert as ultimate mix tape. This unique concept is mirrored in All Tomorrow's Parties' visual approach. The film is created from found or contributed footage from over 200 filmmakers, fans, and musicians who've attended the British All Tomorrow's Parties festival over its history. With interviews and footage of more than 30 bands (ranging from Nick Cave to Animal Collective and from Portishead to Grizzly Bear), this post-punk DIY bricolage uses material filmed in a multitude of formats, including Super8, camcorder, and mobile-phone material. The final product, which captures the experience from the perspective of fan, artist, and curator alike, celebrates the uncompromising vitality of this unique festival experience.
We Live in Public
Saturday, May 23th
Neptune Theatre
Monday, May 25th
Egyptian Theatre
Director: Ondi Timoner
Josh Harris predicted this would happen: We're all slaves to the internet. We Facebook, Flickr, Tweet, and blazon our lives all over the internet. Director Ondi Timoner documents the tumultuous life of internet pioneer Josh Harris, the Warholian poster child of the dot-com days who made his millions from founding Jupiter Communications and Psuedo.com, the first internet television network. Throwing his money around like 'sands in the fingers of time,” he launched a 30-day social experiment in the heart of New York City called 'Quiet” in the final days of the last millennium. More than a hundred people participated, agreeing to live under 24-hour surveillance in an underground bunker. They ate, drank, showered, shot guns, had sex, underwent interrogations, and went a little crazy. Harris then turned the cameras on his personal life, installing over 30 cameras throughout the loft he shared with his girlfriend Tanya, webcasting their every move on Weliveinpublic.com. Like Timoner's previous DIG!, We Live in Public has got guts, fast-paced editing and a well-chosen rock soundtrack (including David Bowie and The Jesus and Mary Chain). Fascinating and relevant, the film, through Harris' story, displays the effects of our increasingly public lifestyle via the web.

Big Time NOT AWESOME
From the AP via Yahoo:
NEW YORK – New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd has admitted to using a paragraph virtually word-for-word from a prominent liberal blogger without attribution.
Dowd acknowledged the error in an e-mail to The Huffington Post on Sunday, the Web site reported. The Times corrected her column online to give proper credit for the material to Talking Points Memo editor Josh Marshall.
The newspaper issued a formal correction Monday saying Dowd "failed to attribute a paragraph about the timeline for prisoner abuse" to Marshall's blog.
The error appeared in Dowd's Sunday column, in which she criticized the Bush administration's use of interrogation methods in the run-up to the Iraq war.

AWESOME
From the NY Daily News:
The 11-month-old twin boys born to a Texas mom have a lot in common, but one thing they don’t share is a father.
That’s because their mother, Mia Washington, cheated on her partner, James Harrison, according to the Daily Mail, and her fling resulted in a one-in-a-million double conception. The result is that one twin, Jordan, is James’s son but the other one, Justin, was fathered by a man whose identity has not been released.
The Dallas mother became suspicious about her sons’ paternity when she realized that their facial features were dissimilar, according to the Daily Mail. She visited Clear Diagnostics DNA Lab, had a paternity test, and learned that there was just a 0.001 chance that the twins could have the same father.

Beneath its constant visual invention, the film creates a quirky, playful world which questions the lines between trash and treasure, and asks what one should try to hold onto in our increasingly disposable society, and what one should let go.
Morris: A Life With Bells On
Saturday, May 23
Sunday, May 24
SIFF Cinema
Director: Lucy Akhurst
For those who think the English folk dance Morris is just an innocent pub pastime involving hanky-waving and bearded men with staffs, you've never seen its politics-laden, ultra-competitive side. Under the auspices of the governing Morris Circle, dance troops throughout England compete against each other in cutthroat tournaments. Follow the fortunes of one such side, Millsham Morris, and its avant-garde leader Derecq Twist, in their pursuit for Morris perfection. In his Morris prime, Derecq is both a traditionalist and an innovator. One the one hand, he is preparing to perform the ultimate move in Morris Dance, the mystical and legendary Threeple Hammer Damson. And yet, on the other hand, he is pioneering an innovative, daringly freeform brand of the dance dubbed 'Extreme Morris,” drawing the ire of the more orthodox elements within the Morris dance community. But when Millsham Morris unveils their creation in competition, the Morris Circle bans Derecq from future competition. Devastated by the decision, Derecq embarks on a global odyssey through tragedy and triumph, which gravely tests his passion to Morris.
The Baby Formula
Tuesday, June 2nd
Egyptian Theatre

Kirkland Perfomance Center
Saturday, June 6th
SIFF Cinema
Director: Alison Reid
The Baby Formula mixes cutting edge science, sexual politics, and a healthy dose of humor to concoct what may be the sleeper hit of the Festival. Lesbian couple Athena and Lilith want a biological child of their own so badly that they convince a scientist in a fertility lab to use an experimental scientific process to impregnate Athena with 'female sperm” created from Lilith's stem cells, but on one condition: the experiment must be kept secret. But when Lilith uses the same method to get pregnant behind Athena's back, and the parentage of Lilith's baby is then called into question, the couple is forced to divulge the truth of their experimental conceptions to their families. Full of humor and unexpected twists, the resulting family meeting erupts in a collision of differing views. Shot in an improvisational mockumentary style from the beginning through the final credits, Alison Reid's film benefits from serendipitous casting (both lead actresses were actually pregnant during shooting) and hilarious improvisational acting. Reid, a veteran stunt coordinator and performer, demonstrates her directing chops with a great ear for family interaction in this film that celebrates love, acceptance, and the gift of life in all its forms.

The Bear
Friday, June 12th
Triple Door
Director: Jean-Jaques Annaud
When a rockslide kills a mother bear, her cub Douce becomes an orphan in the threatening Canadian Rockies. Luckily, she encounters Bart, a full-grown male bear on the run from hunters after mauling their pack animals. Though the ill-tempered Bart initially rejects Douce's companionship, the cub wins his affection by licking Bart's gunshot wounds. Psychedelic mushroom trips and a rendezvous with Doc (the effeminate male bear who plays Bart's love interest) are woodland fun at its finest, but the invasive fear of being hunted drives The Bear forward. Staged with trained bears and filmed in the Italian Dolomites, Jean-Jacques Annaud's film seems like realism in drag as documentary. Yet it's this feeling that makes The Bear a magical discovery and a welcome departure from the ordinary wildlife exposé. Los Angeles duo No Age will add their musical interpretation to the film by performing original music during the screening. No Age's Randy Randall and Dean Allen Spunt garnered acclaim with their debut album Weirdo Rippers (2007) and, after signing with the Seattle-based label Sub Pop, released Nouns (2008) to similar critical success. As Douce and Bart sift through the maladies and joys of their precarious existence, so too does No Age's music filter raw sensation through art-punk chaos.
All Tomorrow's Parties
Tuesday, May 26th
Egyptian Theatre
Thursday, May 28
Neptune Theatre
Director: All Tomorrow's People, Jonathan Caouette
On the eve of its tenth anniversary, the All Tomorrow's Parties music festival is an ingenious testament to alternative music, communal living, and iconoclastic creativity. Founded by Belle & Sebastian's Barry Hogan in 1999 as an alternative to larger, more corporate festivals, ATP is a sponsorship-free festival where the organizers, artists, and fans all stay in the same chalet-style housing complex. Every year the event is curated by a specific artist or band, essentially making each festival a concert as ultimate mix tape. This unique concept is mirrored in All Tomorrow's Parties' visual approach. The film is created from found or contributed footage from over 200 filmmakers, fans, and musicians who've attended the British All Tomorrow's Parties festival over its history. With interviews and footage of more than 30 bands (ranging from Nick Cave to Animal Collective and from Portishead to Grizzly Bear), this post-punk DIY bricolage uses material filmed in a multitude of formats, including Super8, camcorder, and mobile-phone material. The final product, which captures the experience from the perspective of fan, artist, and curator alike, celebrates the uncompromising vitality of this unique festival experience.
We Live in Public
Saturday, May 23th
Neptune Theatre
Monday, May 25th
Egyptian Theatre
Director: Ondi Timoner
Josh Harris predicted this would happen: We're all slaves to the internet. We Facebook, Flickr, Tweet, and blazon our lives all over the internet. Director Ondi Timoner documents the tumultuous life of internet pioneer Josh Harris, the Warholian poster child of the dot-com days who made his millions from founding Jupiter Communications and Psuedo.com, the first internet television network. Throwing his money around like 'sands in the fingers of time,” he launched a 30-day social experiment in the heart of New York City called 'Quiet” in the final days of the last millennium. More than a hundred people participated, agreeing to live under 24-hour surveillance in an underground bunker. They ate, drank, showered, shot guns, had sex, underwent interrogations, and went a little crazy. Harris then turned the cameras on his personal life, installing over 30 cameras throughout the loft he shared with his girlfriend Tanya, webcasting their every move on Weliveinpublic.com. Like Timoner's previous DIG!, We Live in Public has got guts, fast-paced editing and a well-chosen rock soundtrack (including David Bowie and The Jesus and Mary Chain). Fascinating and relevant, the film, through Harris' story, displays the effects of our increasingly public lifestyle via the web.

NY Times columnist admits using blogger's words
Big Time NOT AWESOME
From the AP via Yahoo:
NEW YORK – New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd has admitted to using a paragraph virtually word-for-word from a prominent liberal blogger without attribution.
Dowd acknowledged the error in an e-mail to The Huffington Post on Sunday, the Web site reported. The Times corrected her column online to give proper credit for the material to Talking Points Memo editor Josh Marshall.
The newspaper issued a formal correction Monday saying Dowd "failed to attribute a paragraph about the timeline for prisoner abuse" to Marshall's blog.
The error appeared in Dowd's Sunday column, in which she criticized the Bush administration's use of interrogation methods in the run-up to the Iraq war.

And Finally a Texas mother gave birth
to two set of twins to two diffecn Father
AWESOME
From the NY Daily News:
The 11-month-old twin boys born to a Texas mom have a lot in common, but one thing they don’t share is a father.
That’s because their mother, Mia Washington, cheated on her partner, James Harrison, according to the Daily Mail, and her fling resulted in a one-in-a-million double conception. The result is that one twin, Jordan, is James’s son but the other one, Justin, was fathered by a man whose identity has not been released.
The Dallas mother became suspicious about her sons’ paternity when she realized that their facial features were dissimilar, according to the Daily Mail. She visited Clear Diagnostics DNA Lab, had a paternity test, and learned that there was just a 0.001 chance that the twins could have the same father.
