A parody of Katy Perry's "California Gurls" from Sunbury, PA's own Sloppy Secondz, the writer's of such classics as "Work that Shaft" and "I Love this Whore." Sigh. ...Hangs head in shame.

"You will see this movie.

In a fucking theater.

Where violence belongs."

Dan Gross tipped us off to this performance but its so mind-blowingly good we couldn't resist a repost. Wynnewood denizen Patti LaBelle simply murders "Purple Rain" during a Prince tribute at last night's BET awards. I love the Purple One's reaction shots in the crowd, which can essentially be translated into "Daaaaaaaamn, girl."

Honestly all that lady can do is yell.  She doesnt sing anymore.  There's no range, nuance or skill ...

LOL - in labor!  Prince really looked like he was trying not to look embarrassed.   So *NOT* "mind-blowingly good"  my dear.

for your info Patti Labelle is an Icon and legend and at this point in her career she doesnt have ANYTHING TO PROVE!!!! in your career can you say that?  there's not a voice out there that can compare and now she can sing or not when she chooses and its apparent that she is star quality you whoever you are were not inviting to perform  on that stage so your in no way an authority to judge your some young thing who doesnt know or appreciate  a voice !!

Patti was simply the best. Not oonly did she out perform her younger counterparts with style, but did the same with her outstanding range...

A couple clips from Derek Cianfrance's Blue Valentine have hit the web. Cianfrance's debut began in Valley Forge and Wayne, where the film was partially shot, then garnered buzz at Sundance and made it's way to Cannes. Valentine follows Dean (Ryan Gosling) and Cindy (Michelle Williams) as they divorce, with parts of their relationship appearing in flashback. A handful of clips have made their way online, including this one:
I like the naturalistic elements of this scene, I'm just worried it might get a little twee by the end, but this movie is supposedly a downer (in the best sense of the word) so it can't be too syrupy. Blue Valentine has more than a couple people whispering the magic word (Oscar) and it might have a shot, with the Weinstein Co. releasing this film on December 31, just in time for awards qualification. But I think it might still be too small for the Academy to handle. What do you think? View the rest of the clips over at the Playlist.
