The Music From The Films Of Scarlett Johansson Post.

Since Scarlett Johansson is the oldest of the women in this series so far at the ripe old age of 27, and since many of her movies (the gorgeous, pouting Scarlett rarely does scripted television with the exception of her Robot Chicken appearances - and the pilot for the TV version of The Client) have had soundtrack releases, we've got the longest disc so far. Not included in this lineup: North, Home Alone 3 or My Brother The Pig (thus preventing the inclusion of a pre-Lost Michael Giacchino). Also not included is David Julyan's The Prestige (because it's boring), or any of her Woody Allen films (especially Match Point - I resent films where hotties I like get killed) as he hardly ever goes for original scoring. But if I can get any of her songs here, I will...

The Scarlett Johansson's Ass Kicks Kick-Ass's Ass Post.

You can try saying that five times fast or you can just look at her. I'd go for option two.

The Piers Morgan Takes A Brief Vacation From Being A Knob Post.

From the Daily Mail via GQ:

Piers Morgan: Which famous women would you most like to be trapped with on a desert island?
Piers Morgan: Cindy Crawford, Scarlett Johansson and Delia Smith. I wouldn't expect the first two to do any cooking. Or wear any clothes.
PM: And who would you least like to be trapped with?
PM: Heather Mills, Cherie Blair and Princess Anne. They would irritate, enrage and bore me to death. In that order.

The vacation ends at that point, but it proves that a stopped clock does tell the right time twice a day.

The Beware Comic-Book Movies Released In December/January Post.

Variety's review of the long-awaited re-teaming of Eva Mendes and Scarlett Johansson, The Spirit (hitting American screens on Christmas Day and opening in the UK on New Year's Day, as British cinemas aren't open on December 25th), as well as adding more fuel to the fire re this being a stinker and doomed to be added to the long list of Lionsgate box-office bombs - where would they be without Weeds and Mad Men? - contains two nuggets worth singling out:

1. Scarlett Johansson looks bored as the Octopus' icy sidekick, Silken Floss.

This worries me, because this calls up memories of The Black Dahlia (wherein the husky pouting one also looked like she wanted to be doing something else, a feeling yours truly certainly sympathised with while sitting through that rubbish).

2. When a man falls to the ground, his body covered with white bloodstains, it's unclear whether he's been felled by bullets or by incontinent birds.

This, on the other hand, just makes me laugh.

Roll on David Newman's music (if the movie really is bad, it won't be the first time he's done a score that's better than it deserves), which at least is getting a physical release. Even if it's on a CD-R.

The Belated Happy Birthday Scarlett Post.

Pint-sized husky-voiced well-shaped blonde BAFTA-winning workaholic actress/singer Scarlett Johansson was born on November 22, 1984. 19 years to the day after JFK was assassinated. This may go some way to explaining her being a Democrat.

The Thank You, Kind Fate Post.

Enough said.
