Sixteen Candles - Final Scene - Movie Ending - Watch more funny videos here
So sad. PopMuse could never write enough about how his films contributed to the man I am today.
Of all the legendary music cues he used in his films and oh man are there many, (the Sixteen Candles Soundtrack is perfection see link at bottom of this post, HELLO first person to break WHAM! in the US?!?) It's this cue (link below this paragraph) from The Dream Academy that is my all-time favorite. A few years back I went on the hunt for the instrumental Hughes used in Ferris Bueller and found it. It's Downloadable here...
dream academy please please please let me get what i want (instrumental) [mp3] Finding all 21 music cues from Sixteen Candles (even the ones not included on the long out-of-print soundtrack) was another major mission, I thought this was a nice occasion to share that too. Enjoy!
SIXTEEN CANDLES FULL SOUNDTRACK
LA is a city of billboards and street teams. As you drive through this city you are bombarded with whatever the latest Studio release is. You start to get numb to all the hard sales thrust in your face, but this poster is getting so much lip-service in my household. It is a true puzzler. And Bloghungry and PopMuse can't solve it.
What is Universal trying to say with this image. I know what this movie is about (besides the end of Judd Aptow's career) it's a rom-dram-edy right? So what the hell is this poster supposed to be. Selling me off the star power? Love Leslie Mann, (she is the best thing about every movie she is in) but she is not nearly a big enough star to sell a film.
Is it trying to win an audience with a latent bi-sexual Adam Sandler bromance theme? What is this, Threesome 2009?
Bloghungry thinks this is just Adam Sandler trying to destroy the competition. End that whole Aptow / Rogen phenom. He's probably right, that angle and pose for Seth Rogen is just plan cruel. Thoughts?
WATCH THE TRAILER HERE. It makes me want to die.
Oh man. What a piece of shit (slash) I would eat a Tuna Sandwich while watching it on HBO any day of the week and love every second of it. (Know your PopMuse.)
1. Why was Drew Barrymore in it? What did her character add to any story line?
2. I know it was filmed like 5 years ago, but before Ben Affleck had his teeth done? Wow.
3. Why was the sound mix so poor, what was going on there? The whole movie sounded soft and murky.
4. Friend o' PopMuse, Nilblogette, has a thing about Movie and TV Interiors with Exposed Brick, mainly that she doesn't like them. This film had nothing but interiors with exposed brick.
5. Does Baltimore have a fashion forward singles scene? Never thought of Baltimore in that way.
6. Justin Long is a major Movie Star.
7. Bradley Cooper is not.
8. I'm happy this film killed Jennifer Connelly's career - she is too brittle to act anymore.
9. Anniston's hair is a huge star but she isn't.
10. I dont mind that Affleck's weight drastically changes scene to scene - but I like him pretty universally.
11. Ginnifer Goodwin may have been wearing a wig in some scenes that were probably re-shoots. Wig or not, she is fun to watch.
12. This film needed to be 2 hours Plus? Really?
13. Wilson Cruz needs a better agent. Badly.
14. Didn't it feel like the Director just gave up.
Well here's a reason to stay alive until April 14th. FINALLY the Shelly Long classic Irreconcilable Differences is coming out on DVD. PopMuse has been waiting, yes, waiting for this moment for years. I love this film, it's like everything you want in a movie and more.
Sharon Stone in a breakout performance as Farrah Fawcett, Ryan O'Neil when he was kinda hot, Nancy Meyers is a co-writer (of a script about a writer), Shelly Long in a fat suit buying ice cream in an empty Grocery Store on New Years Eve. Oh yeah and Drew Barrymore basically living out her future childhood on film (or is she acting out Tatum O'Neil's childhood? Either way, it's so meta, it hurts to think about.) It's completely amazing. You must buy it.
Kudos to Lionsgate for doing this "The Lost Collection DVD Series".
Could I be more excited for a film? These posters are all over L.A., and I live for them all. Tyler Perry is just a big messy girl, and I love every damn movie he makes. What? Have you seen "The Family That Preys"? OK then.
Go to the Madea Movie Official Site, there is some major media there, including Valentine's Cards (hint hint).
OK, I'm leaving Sundance today. It's been a lot of work, but also a lot of fun (always feels fun when you are looking in the rear view mirror, right?) Here's some celeb thoughts...
Celebs: Paris Hilton (exactly as you'd imagine her - gross), Kim Kardashian (same thing), Cuba Gooding Jr. (desperate to be recognized), Tom Arnold (probably on Drugs, running down Main Street with arms full of swag), Andie MacDowell (very beautiful), Ralph Maachio (remember from the Karate Kid - he was drunk at 4 in the afternoon), Jude Law (in a huge man-scarf - he is TOO British), Virginia Madsen (too made up to be a Sundance Juror - IMO), Sam Rockwell (had to wake him from napping on a couch to get him to do the interview, also saw him eating alone, clearly he isn't into all this).
Mike Tyson (whatever he is, he has "it"), Brittany Snow (is pretty), one of the Cheetah Girls (the one that did the nudes that landed her a job on MTV), Adam Scott (because of his scenes in Step Brothers, I wanted to shake his hand more than once). Ewan McGregor (it's the eyes) and Jim Carrey are lovers in "I love you Philip Morris" and as much as I hate the Jim Carrey (he is charming.) Nia Long should work more. John Krasinski (gives great soundbite, but it ends there).
I witnessed a big run in with Chris Rock and Bobcat Goldthwait. Where Chris Rock showed his true colors and they were mean, braggadocios, condescending, and really NOT funny. Sorry fans of the C. Rock. In this job, once in a while you get to see celebrities as they are in private, and it's shocking, it was a moment like that. Someday I'll tell you the story, too long for the blog.
Music wise I've had these song in my head all week (thanks Foxy).
Kings Of Leon vs. Lykke Li "Knocked Up" (Rodeo Remix)
Sonically it's what the fest sounds like, and lyrically, well the opening lines, ya know....
"Metric "Help, I'm Alive"
I couldn't get it outta my head all week.
Vince Guaraldi Trio "Christmastime Is Here (Instrumental)"
The whole shoot, every time something went wrong and in Production they often do, me and crew would quietly hum this to each other to make us laugh. It worked -- every time.
PopMuse is up at the Sundance Film Festival in Park City Utah. This would be my 8th consecutive year here at Sundance. There are moments, like during the pre-screening montages where they show films from past Sundances, that I feel really proud to have been present for all those premieres. Then there are moments when I worry I've been stuck in arrrested developement (or maybe that's just because everywhere you turn George Michael and Maebe are standing next to you).
Speaking of Michael Cera, I did see his real life girlfriend's film "Paper Heart". It's a really sweet movie about Love, trying to find it, finding it, having documentary cameras ruin it and then learning that real life is better than filmed life. It's such a small movie, but it's really important in a world where we are all so traceable, public, on camera, on facebook, on reality TV. Kinda loved it actually.
Also saw this brilliant doc called "Big River Man" about an old drunk Slavic Endurance Swimmer, who swims through the amazon (just for kicks). Needless to say he goes nuts, gets incredibly sick, has Jesus complex , and has an adorable (not pictured here) son/manager named Borat (for real) who narrates. It's a true story. For his interview we made him strip down to Speedo and get in a Jacuzzi with a bottle of win, as we do. (Pic to the left.)
Then I saw "Big Fan" a film directed and written by the screenwriter of "The Wrestler" (which I hated). But "Big Fan" is Patton Oswalt playing a (pathetic) fanatical Giants Fan. Basically, you know the guys cheering in the crowd of The Wrestler? He made a movie about their depressing lives. I love a psycho fan, lord knows I've dated enough Mariah-Lambs, so I liked it, but no love there.
I know all you PopMuse Readers really want to hear is celebrity gossip, so I'll try and have that for you later in the week...
