¡viva la graham!

I attended an opening-night screening of the Sex and the City movie yesterday, and I must say that I loved every minute of it. I’m not going to give anything away, but I will say that it’s much better than the critics would lead you to believe. Even if you were only a casual fan of the series, you will leave satisfied.

Last night when we entered the theater full of ladies, one called out cheerfully, “The first boys are here!” We laughed, smiled and waved. They knew that we were just as excited to be there as all of them.

By the way, look for Sex and the City to debut at no. 1 at the box office this weekend, as it has far surpassed expectations and will likely continue to do so (Everyone I know who has seen it plans on seeing it again). Fingers crossed they’ll keep the franchise alive.

Here’s the clip for Weezer’s current modern rock no. 1 single, “Pork and Beans.” This video includes several YouTube sensations, from the Diet Coke & Mentos experiements to Chris Crocker, from Miss South Carolina to that Numa Numa guy. It’s actually pretty hysterical. For a song with a good non-conformist message but only so-so lyrics, this was a very smart move.

Weezer’s sixth studio album, dubbed the Red album, is due June 3.

I always got the gay vibe from Los Angeles-based singer Sam Sparro, but I wasn’t sure. Apparently he’s out and proud, and he’s hoping that gay teenagers look up to him. I’m not a huge fan of his hit U.K. single “Black & Gold,” but I could grow to love him considering his admirable promotion of tolerance. That t-shirt he’s wearing above is pretty awesome, too.
