You’ll remember we were kinda over the moon with the terrific indie comedy, “Gigantic” starring Paul Dano, Zooey Deschanel and an terribly funny John Goodman during the Toronto Film Festival.
Directed by original new voice Matt Aselton, the film is both a love story and a family tale about connection and letting go of our collective neuroses. We kinda loved it, it was effortlessly charming and an incredible supporting cast of Zack Galifinakis, Ed Asner, Jane Alexander, Ian Roberts and Clarke Peters from “The Wire,” made it that more winning.
Winsomely scored by Imperial Teen founder and ex-Faith No More keyboardist Roddy Bottum, we talked to the music supervisor last night as we had some confusion as to what pop songs were in the film. Well confusion no more, here’s all the songs featured in the film. No word on a soundtrack, but it’s way early days, as the film just had its world premiere at the Toronto Int. Film Festival and doesn’t have distribution or a release day yet, but we’re sure it’ll find one soon enough and come out some time in 2009 if all goes well. It would be a crime if it didn’t come out. We’ve certainly seen a lot lesser crap come out from say Sundance in the last two years (“Wristcutters: A Love Story” being on of the particularly bad indies to get a release and our current indie litmus test of: well, that got a release, so…)
Song used in “Gigantic”:
“Brooklyn King” – Masta Killa
“I Want To See The Bright Lights Tonight” – Richard and Linda Thompson
“Fat Man” – Derrick Morgan
“A Mirage” – Edith Frost
“Did You See The Words” – Animal Collective
I love myspace,you could say I’m a “myspace addict” but one thing that really disapoints me is there music players. They only let you put 1 song on your profile page,now I don’t know about you but I write alot on my myspace so by the time your done reading everything I wrote,the songs already played like 3 times in a row. I searched around but couldn’t fine any music players good enough to go on my myspace. Ethier the code didn’t work or the colours were really ugly. Than I heard about this free site called “www.hypster.com”! It’s easy to make an account and add music to your playlists. You can upload your own or take from other users playlists. Not only that but, you can customize your music player to fit your profile colours! So check it out you won’t regret it! http://www.hypster.com
