Film ScarJo & P.Cruz Tongue Wrestling Match (at the 1:11 mark)

Posted by Wm. Steven Humphrey on Wed, May 14 at 2:24 PM

Here’s the trailer for the new Woody Allen flick Vicky Christina Barcelona which looks like a real snoozer… until of course you reach the 1:11 mark and see Scarlett Johansson grabbing a taste of Penelope Cruz’s tonsils! (Hopefully, Allen will inform us at what point during his film this scene occurs, so I can pay my $9, watch the scene, masturbate, and leave.)

What horrid quality. And I'll pass if lesbo's pick red as the only scene they will mash tongues.

It's Happening Tonight

in Music	in Visual Arts	in Books
Neil Diamond After canceling his September performance in Portland, Neil Diamond is back and ready to blow us out of our seats! Fine, maybe he won’t “blow us,” but I bet he’ll come to the stage locked and loaded with hits such as “Cherry, Cherry,” “Sweet Caroline,” and “I’m a Believer.” And does anybody remember “Heartlight”? I do! WSH Rose Garden, 1 Center Court St., $55-120, 8:00 PM Universal Blobhand with Sumi Ink Club, Josh Orion Kermiet, and ERock This month, Stumptown’s downtown location boasts an impressive roster of artists. Local artist and electronic musician ERock returns to oils for a group of enormous psychedelic paintings, while fellow Portlander Josh Orion Kermiet presents a series of intricately collaged Xeroxes and ink drawings of castles and caves. If that weren’t enough, Stumptown will also be showing work by L.A.’s Sumi Ink Club: Sarah Anderson and Luke Fischbeck, who record experimental music as Lucky Dragons. Stumptown Coffee (Downtown), 128 SW 3rd Ave., Jon Raymond: Livability Portlander Jon Raymond wrote the short stories on which the films Old Joy and the recent Michelle Williams vehicle Wendy and Lucy are based. The stories in his collection Livability are, like those films, understated and captivating, full of quiet insights. Forget Chuck Palahniuk—Raymond is the local author you should be reading.
