Stories that make me depressed and movies I'm drooling over

So I guess we will start with the depressing stuff. I've been reading a lot of things lately that make me sad for humanity. Some actually sad, some pathetic sad, some glad it's not my life sad. Here are the ones that really resonated with me:

Vanity Fair's Farrah Fawcett Article
Summary: Farrah Fawcett had great hair and everybody she knew has either been in rehab or incarcerated recently. Read this while eating pasta and I almost couldn't finish my food it was so sad.

Miley Cyrus on Twitter
Her awkward relationship-influenced tweets are probably not appropriate to share with 1.7 million followers, but that's just me. Example: "Remember that song I wrote? Psh. I am SO over you." This is just one example of why teenagers with raging hormones shouldn't be given access to tools that can broadcast their feelings to the internet masses.

Female Suicide Bombers
A profile in The New York Times Magazine that is both highly intriguing and frightening entitled "How Baida Wanted to Die." Understanding the place in society woman have in other cultures is something that always makes me thankful for where I am.

And on a more positive note, some movies that I'm totally stoked for in the fall. Gotta start saving up my hard earned pennies for the $12 that I always seem willing to shell out for a Manhattan movie.

An Education
I have been staring at pictures of Carey Mulligan incessantly as we work on a fall campaign for the recently released T Magazine and was doubtful of her being touted as the next great young actress. However, having seen the preview for this movie which also stars Peter Sarsgaard, I'm starting to get excited about the release.

Nine
My girl crush is Marion Cotillard and I've always wanted to know how Daniel Day-Lewis would fare in a musical number.

Shutter Island
I started watching the preview the day it came out. I pretty much have it memorized now. Until it comes out, I'm just going to have to keep watching The Departed over and over to get my Leo fix. I even stayed up for The Man in the Iron Mask the other night. As a side note: John Malkovich is completely unconvincing as a historical character.

The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus
Heath Ledger's last stand. It looks absolutely insane.
