State of the Art (8/12)
From Variety: Tune in as the Emmys present live awards to reality “programming” while relegating scripted shows to tape! At least there is still the possibility that Neil Patrick Harris will turn the ceremony into Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Awards Show. One can only hope that the network censors will allow Nathan Fillion to show up and remind the winners, “The Emmy is my penis.”
From the Wall Street Journal: AMC’s Mad Men is politically-incorrect, sarcastic, misogynistic, and… written by women?
From the New York Times: “It’s not a history of the guitar or a how-to,” quoth the Times regarding the music documentary “It Might Get Loud.” We say it’s every rock aficionado’s most far-fetched fantasy, although it may rank second after the one about Anita Pallenberg.
From Pitchfork: In the vein of rock fantasies, indie kids swoon as Sufjan Stevens plans an “intimate” fall tour.
From Yahoo! Movies: Check out the new trailer for Where the Wild Things Are. Now imagine how impressive The Grinch Who Stole Christmas with Jim Carrey would have looked had the trailer been set to music by the Arcade Fire.
From the New York Times: It is remarkable that, with a title like “The Top 10! Cover Tunes! Flying Bras!” none of us at BOTO is remotely interested in the subject of this article (which, incidentally, is the “American Idols Live!” tour).
From the Hollywood Reporter: Fox has an Arrested Development reunion in the works in the form of a new comedy project. White people everywhere rejoice.
"BOTO Staff" is the moniker that the Break Out The Oreos writers use when they feel like using the royal we. Which really means that this post was probably written by one or more of these people.
