If you buy the Farmiga, you get the Monaghan free

I have to tell you that the following combination of names of actors, actresses, director, and musician makes me so happy that I can only present the information to you in verse. Sorry.

I woke up this morning and got of bed,
hadn't even jump started, with coffee, my head,
when what do I see on the great interwebs?
An awesome director joined by two great celebs.
Duncan Jones, who you know as the director of Moon,
joined up with two ladies who make me hella swoon.
Vera Farmiga, who's known from The Departed,
has the looks and the chops to get my heart started.
She'll be joined by a lass who has both traits, as well.
I'm speaking, of course, of Monaghan (Michelle).
Watching just those two, I'd have quite a ball,
but they'll also be joined by Jake Gyllenhaal.
The movie's sci-fi and is called Source Code,
and the actors now gathered are a huge mother lode.
The film follows a soldier investigating terror crimes,
and with those ladies along, I'm sure he won't mind.
His character projects into another man's body,
but not like that sounds because that would be naughty.
He lives in this surrogate, this "avatar" if you will,
so he kind find out who's responsible for the kill.
Jones made such a great film his first time out,
that in this new project, I do have no doubt.
As if they needed more components to sell,
the score may be done by the great Clint Mansell!
This project excites me more than many before,
But until 2011, I'll have to endure,
so to bide my time as the clock slowly ticks,
I guess I'll console myself with these lovely pics.
And ladies, don't worry, I won't leave you blue,
if you look down below, you'll find young Jake, too.

Honestly, I won't be listening

As Brendon at Slashfilm eloquently and intelligently notes, Clint Mansell's "Lux Aeterna" is "one of the most beloved, discussed and arguably overplayed pieces of film music in the medium’s entire history." I mean, I could give a shit because I love it so much, but he's totally right. I love it so much I'm going to post it right here just so I can listen to it again.



In fact, read everything that I write here on this blog with this soundtrack playing. Yeah, it will make my jokes a lot less funny but (A) you weren't going to laugh anyway and (B) I'll give up a little laughter in order to feel bad-ass, which is what this song makes everything feel like. To get to the point, Mansell scores director Darren Aronofsky's stuff, it's what he does. So he's going to score Black Swan, which is (wait for it) the movie in which Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis have angry sex. Yep, photo time:

Okay, back to the actual story at hand. Mansell is going to base his score for Black Swan (potentially) on "Swan Lake." That's all kinds of awesome. He's going to jack with the structure and whatnot, but that's his plan. How cool would that be? The Slashfilm story goes on to talk about how Mansell's score for Moon was rad (which it was) and how he and Duncan Jones (the director of Moon) want to hook up again (for movies, not relations...although maybe that too, who's to say and I'm not judging) but may not be able to. I hope they do because I like them both very much, but until then, I'll have to console myself by thinking about Kunis on Portman action set to a funky "Swan Lake." Weird...but hot.
