Check out some wonderful photography before you carve yourself a place in the couch for the Oscars telecast:

Moving right along, I care for your cultural lives so that I've also decided to update you with some film notices today as well:
Terrence Malick's The Thin Red Line is playing today at BAM Rose Cinemas (30 Lafayette Ave. Bklyn.) beginning at 9pm. Starring a ridiculously talented ensemblecast, including Nick Nolte, Sean Penn, George Clooney, John Travolta, Ben Chaplin, Woody Harrelson, John Cusack, Jim Caviezel (aka everyone's favorite bloody Jesus), and a sneak peek at Adrian Brody, who was the main character until hours of the film hit Malick's cutting room floor. The director has only made three films in his entire career, and all three are film school masterpieces.
If you want my body and you think I'm sexy, come on sugar let me know...
No, unfortunately Rod Stewart isn't making a guest appearance at CBGBs tonight, but this song instantly came to mind when going over my Events Calendar. Over in Astoria Queens, 35th Ave. at 36th St. to be exact, Marlon Brando is getting his aggressive funky on in The Last Tango In Paris. The American Museum of The Moving Image is worth checking out in its own right, but chances are that after the 6:30 screening of this film, you probably won't want to do anything else but curl up in the fetal position and cry. Cheers!
Musically we've got some stellar acts for this evening:
Sin-E (150 Attorney at Stanton Sts.) is hosting the continuation of Icelandic group Tenderfoot's US tour. Helping out will be The Last Town Chorus, Pale Blue Dot, and Slow Six. Get there by 7pm with $8 and you should be golden in the My Morning Jacket sense.

The Last Town Chorus: "Oregon" http://www.thelasttownchorus.com/audio/ltc-Oregon.ram

That's all for now, crazy amounts of studying await me.
