Now See This
Excuse me to all those folks who just don't have TV — they have HBO — and have seen this teaser before, but Casa Eichel is sans premium channels and I just caught this glimpese of Boardwalk Empire, a new show exec produced by Martin Scorsese (who will also direct the pilot) and Sopranos writer Terence Winter, about the mob that ruled Atlantic City during prohibition. The pilot begins 90 years tomorrow, when the 18th Amendment was put into effect, with Steve Buscemi as Enoch "Nucky" Johnson, the boss of the crime family that ruled AC for the first half the 20th Century. Joining Buscemi is Gretchen Mol as his moll, Kelly MacDonald (No Country for Old Men), Dabney Coleman (9 t0 5!!) Michael Pitt (Hedwig and the Angry Inch, Last Days), Michael Shannon (Revolutionary Road) and CP hero Omar Little, aka Michael Kenneth Williams (The Wire, the ugh-worthy Wonderful World, which was released today). The show was shot in Brooklyn, and not Atlantic City, but I think I'll deal.
In other Wire alum news, I can't wait for David Simon and Eric Overmyer's Treme, about post-Katrina New Orleans, starring Bunk (aka Wendell Pierce) and Lester Freamon (aka Clarke Peters). The trailer is below, but it doesn't get at separate post frankly because Bunk and Lester aren't in it.
So, who wants to invite me over so I can watch these?
Boardwalk Empire is slated for a late 2010 release. Treme is slated to premiere in April.
Watch this sweet vid of Islands' "No You Don't," in which Michael Cera trips out à la a high school anti-drug film strip.
Cera appears at a theater near you on Friday with Miguel Arteta's Youth in Revolt. Cindy Fuchs saw it and totally dug it, giving the film an A-:
Nick Twisp (Michael Cera) is a nice kid. So nice that he's a good student, a virgin and a source of comfort for his frazzled mom (Jean Smart). He's also so aware of being nice that he keeps a picture of Frank Sinatra, circa "Nice 'n' Easy," on his bedroom wall. But when Nick meets the poetically inclined Sheeni (Portia Doubleday), all that niceness is suddenly a problem. Their separation leads him to desperate measures, embodied by his alternative self, a pencil-mustachioed, skinny-white-slacks-wearing, troublemaking Francophile named Francois Dillinger. Keep reading...
Check back soon for an interview with Cera about his experiences on Youth in Revolt and his thoughts on why not judging books by their covers is totally racist.
UPDATE!!!
Drew Lazor just showed me this vid of Cera's Letterman appearance, including a clip of 10-year-old Cera on La Femme Nikita (!!!):

Remember when BH told you about Ted Leo and friends' Halloween Misfits cover show? Under the name TV Casualty ' including Leo, Atom Goren (Armalite, Atom and his Package), Brian Sokel (AM/FM, Franklin), Andy Nelson (Paint it Black) and Chris Wilson (the Philly-based drummer for Ted Leo's Pharmacists) ' the boys rocked out for the People's Emergency Center. Pitchfork has the whole show up, but take some time out of your busy schedule to watch the first part here:

From the Br'no DVD extras: Sacha Baron Cohen vs. Pete Rose. The former Phil handles himself quite nicely considering he's sitting on a man-chair. In his review, Sam Adams wasn't too hot on Br'no, saying, "the movie's provocations connect only fitfully, and despite its comparatively strong narrative, it feels less of a piece than Borat, and more like an overlong episode of Cohen's TV show."
Don't fret for Pete, either. Very few things could be as embarrassing as this.
Br'no comes out on DVD November 17.

Remember last week when we got crazy excited about Frank Reynolds (aka Danny DeVito) flashing around a copy of the City Paper, Carolyn Huckabay's cover story on T. Desiree Hines to be exact, on It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia? We promised we'd give you the goods when the episode went up on Hulu. Without further ado, lower the lights and check CP out:
