ellen's oscar tweet heard round the world

well, this is refreshing.

Several of the homes constructed for Hurricane Katrina victims by Brad Pitt’s Make It Right charity are rotting from the inside out, according to the New Orleans Advocate.

The charity used glass-infused wood that’s supposed to be green-friendly. But the material has struggled with moisture — a big problem for homes in a flood zone. The wood is going to be replaced, and Make It Right, which has also helped to rebuild storm-ravaged homes in the Rockaways, is considering legal action. (via)

glad to see brad's getting the full architect experience he never wanted.

gag me. too self conscious.

The Tree of Life is the impressionistic story of a Midwestern family in the 1950′s. The film follows the life journey of the eldest son, Jack, through the innocence of childhood to his disillusioned adult years as he tries to reconcile a complicated relationship with his father. Jack finds himself a lost soul in the modern world, seeking answers to the origins and meaning of life while questioning the existence of faith.

UPDATE: according to wikipedia and my filmmaker friend @dantreharne, director terrence malick is supposed to be some kind of genius. only geniuses are allowed to be this over the top.

nErD aLeRt!

"In 2007, frustrated by the slow pace of rebuilding in the Lower Ninth, Brad Pitt set up a foundation called Make It Right; the foundation then commissioned 13 architecture firms to design affordable, green houses. The organization plans to build 150 homes, all for returning Lower Ninth residents. So far, just 15 of them are occupied, but those 15 make a big impression."

...

"But “Brad Pitt’s neighborhood” is a beehive of activity, with builders and landscapers vastly outnumbering residents. A sign in front of each of the houses gives the name and city of its architect. One, called the Float House, was designed by the Pritzker Prize-winner Thom Mayne of Los Angeles. The main part of the house is built to rise with surging flood waters, on pylons that keep it from coming loose. It’s difficult to see the innovative foundation, but unusual external features are easy to spot, such as a kind of trellis cut into intricate patterns and painted turquoise, set against the raspberry-hued building.

Nearby, an angular house by GRAFT, a multinational architecture firm, features a porch enclosure that looks as though it had been cracked open by a storm, an unfortunate visual resonance. A house by the Japanese architect Shigeru Ban has a private courtyard space between the living room and bedrooms, but none of the detailing that would make it feel like a part of New Orleans." (via)

thx ag.

weekend movie round-up

hey yall. guess what i watched yesterday.



the curious case of benjamin button. jicydak, this movie is 2 hours and 46 minutes long. and as is the case with almost every movie of this length, its nearly impossible to sustain quality and tone throughout. i thoroughly enoyed the first 1.5 - 2 hours of this film. i loved the new orleans setting and the whimsical storytelling, and was definitely impressed with the cgi technology. however, around the 2 hour mark, everything started tanking. i found myself laughing when i should've been crying, especially when b-buttz turns back into a baby. so, for this reason it gets what i like to call a 'mixed review'.

first 2 hours : 11 biscuits!!!!!
third hour : 0 biscuits. ;(

i also watched the nbc special, farrah's story, an autobiographical documentation of farrah fawcett's cancer battle. this isn't really an 11-biscuits-0-biscuits situation, but i did hear that 9 million people tuned in friday night, and farrah was awake to watch it and her weakened pulse returned to normal by the end of it. so that's something.



then i may or may not have watched most of the third season of the tudors in one sitting. that show is h2d, and i'm sure is completely based in historical fact. 11 biscuits!!!!!
