Hi.

A big thanks to breep6 for sending in a nice big juicy hi res pic of the Garden State poster. Personally, I think it’s crap. Of all the wonderful images in the trailer that’s the one they go for? Pfff.

On a related note, Amidoll found this news item reporting that GS will be opening the Nantucket festival. Click here for more info.

And finally, here’s a picture from the Michigan screening of GS, as well as a report from a dude’s blog. Thanks to Cal and Zach w.

saturday night was the jarc fund raiser / advance screening of the movie “garden state”. some rich michigan guy decided to throw is hat into movie producing and low and behold the jewish elite were in full force to attend the snobbish affair. i personally brought a book to read which proved handy during the name dropping free for all purported to be a “q and a session”. rather than inquire about the movie and/or the making of, the crowd was more interested in pestering the star/ writer/ director zach braff (from the show scrubs) if he knows anybody that the person asking might also know. who gives a fuck?

anyway my whole reason for going was to meet natalie portman, which at this point in time i was still under the impression that i was going to be able to. so lights went down, movie started, watched the back of natalie portman’s head 7 rows in front of me more than i watched her on screen. afterwards kaczman and milky needed to sneak me into the $500 a head charity party where i intended to track down miss padme and get my swerve on.

after a big to do sneaking in i found natalie behind hiding in a corner behind 3 large racially ambiguous body guards. she would not be bothered. to pass the time waiting for her to socialize with the commoners i commenced getting shit faced on jacks and cokes. it was then that another large security guy wanted to see i.d. and then asked me to leave for under age drinking.

so there i was outside in the cold 1:00 a.m. apprx. 5 feet and one brick wall away from natalie portman. apparently she never came out and socialized so i didn’t miss much. oh well. i ended up having to call my dad and have him pick me up because my friends were still inside and i was outside, drunk and running out of cigs. so in conclusion i did not get to meet natalie portman nor did i get her to fall in love with me or have sex with me. anyway here are some pictures compliments of mr. zach w

Bye.
