Godamn it! At first I thought the whole thread was new and Frank was back. :( :( :(

Actually, where is he? I feel guilty now because until I just read your post I hadn't noticed he wasn't about.

He had his court date on Feb 22 - which was the last day he was seen here. The consensus is that it didn't go well. :(

Oh dear. I remember him mentioning what'd happened.

How dare you all derail my thread with talk about some guy who doesn't use paragraphs?!

I wanted someone to tell me whether the album has leaked. ER, I'm looking at you. You're all over album leaks.

Anyway, here's why I'm looking forward to this CD...

1) Scarlett is a hot fuck, and to discover she loves Tom Waits just makes her all the more attractive to me.

2) The tracklisting is cool. I was expecting more of Tom's softer ballads, but she's picked some of his trippiest work to cover.

3) Scarlett has large breasts.

4) Nick Zinner plays on a few tracks. He's an awesome guitarist.

5) Scarlett has pouty lips.

6) David Bowie contributed to this album.

Here's a clip from Lost in Translation where Scarlett sings Brass in Pocket.

I just checked. Nope.

I've been interested in this for a while, but the fact that it's been in production for so long left me wondering whether it was poor. Scarlett performed with Jesus and Mary Chain last year so she can't be all bad.

Thanks!

Maybe the record company were trying to convince her to do something more conventional for her first album. I mean, it's kind of a bizarre road for a hot young actress to take when entering the music business.

She and Natalie Portman are kind of "indie" darlings (hence the indie community fuss over that movie they were in together). Talented and intelligent as opposed to, say, Jessica Simpson or something. So the idea of her doing a Waits album kind of made sense to me. All she has to do now is team up with Natalie for a Neutral Milk Hotel cover album.

I don't think Johannsen is anymore talented than Jessica Simpson...............she really did kinda get famous off of her boobs and that red dress, alone.........no different than being a pornstar or a pin-up girl (Betty Page) IMO.

Seriously, can you name one great performance?

At least Portman can always claim "The Professional."

Ghost World. I was 18 when I saw that movie, and I pretty much thought she was the perfect woman for me.

Good for you.

But I am willing to bet 90% of the views to this thread, was people hoping to see a pic.

Yeah that and people who like Tom Waits' music...

..Otherwise none as the other 10 percent.

She's wonderful in Lost in Translation, Match Point, Ghost World and Girl with the Pearl Earing. She does often coast on her looks, but there's talent underneath them. And she's cool and not retarded. Comparisons to Jessica Simpson are uncalled for.

Portman can claim way more than The Professional. With the exception of the prequels in which she's godawful (although no more so than anyone else), she's usually very good and occaisonally great.
