PLEASE, whatever you do, do NOT take a cue from Mary-Kate (Olsen, that is, NOT to be confused with Mary-Kate HOPKINSON!) and go out and buy yourself some Lennon glasses, like the ones she's shown here wearing at Sundance. (And holla at Binger JP -- Chicago JP for those of you keeping track -- for standing next to Ashley. And yes, I realize how lame that just sounded -- shouting out someone for merely STANDING in the presence of someone whose claim to fame was appearing on Full House, but whatever.) And do you really want to be seen in the same sunglasses as Howard Stern? They're detestable. In fact, I think they're probably my least favorite fashion accessory EVER. Not even if you smoke an eighth of wizard a day should you let that be an excuse to wear these terrible things. Truly, it'd be more advisable to stare directly into the sun and burn out your retinas. At least that way, you could blame your lack of taste on your blindness.


A far far far better celeb choice: the always-adorbs Lily Allen's green Chanel wayfarers:

Lily wears these bad boys EVERYwhere, and why? Because she is a teensy, precious little bad ass. And because they rule. Admittedly, the multi-colored Chanel branding makes them a bit tacky and too dear, but fortunately, knock-offs abound!

I almost bought these the other day, but then I realized the S/H was a bit wack. But I'll probably still get 'em. (Let's be honest.)

So fun in pink -- they'd look great with a black trench. Like an international yet STYLISH woman of mystery!

Amazon seller Vintage Designer Sunglasses may not have employed maje creativity in naming their shop, but their goods are on point, with all kindsa vintage wayfarers in non-played colors like bold matte yellow, lilac and dark green. Noice!

OKay, stalked might be a bit too strong a word. But according to E! Online, Mary-Kate Olsen attended The Bruges premiere to see Colin Farrell and attended a u2 party on January 20 to see him again!

The video below is of Mary-Kate at the u2 party. She doesn’t stay very long and sources say it was because Colin had left before she arrived.

Thanks to jj for the tip!

The accolades keep coming and coming!

indieWire
Indie Wire finds “The Wackness” to be youthful and refreshing!

A filmmaker who matters is someone capable of re-invigorating genres with spunk and a playful lack of caution. That’s Jonathan Levine, who wowed the 2006 Toronto International Film Festival audiences with his gory, sly horror film “All the Boys Love Mandy Lane.” His follow up is even better, the high-energy coming-of-age tale “The Wackness,” a fun-loving movie that audiences will find impossible to resist.

Variety
Variety considers Levine’s “second effort reps a considerable leap forward and should have far less trouble getting seen. Marketing toward viewers who came of age in the mid-’90s would help it avoid the classic Sundance hit/arthouse dud scenario; ancillary prospects are bright.”

Coming Soon
Coming Soon thinks this film is even better than Levine’s first!

With his second movie “The Wackness,” director Jonathan Levine looks to be joining the likes of Marcos Siega (”Pretty Persuasion”) and Craig Gillespie (”Lars and the Real Girl”) in the exclusive club of recent directors whose first two movies are released in the same year, with their second effort far surpassing the first. In this case, few people will even believe that Levine’s two movies were even by the same director maybe because unlike the teen slasher “All the Boys Love Mandy Lane”, Levine wrote “The Wackness” himself, presumably based on his own experiences living in New York City during the ‘90s.

“The Wackness” keeps doing better and better! Harvey Weinstein went to the show’s after party and buzz has been picking up both in Park City and across the movie industry!

Here are a few more reviews from the film!

CHUD
These guys are ready to call it the best film of the festival:

Is it too early to declare The Wackness the best film of Sundance 2008? I mean, it’s only day two (or three, if you actually got here on opening day), but I have a hard time imagining a movie I am going to love as completely as I loved this one. To be fair, I’m predisposed to adoring The Wackness - it’s set in New York City in 1994, which was where and when I was living what might turn out to be the best days of my life. But even beyond that, I think the movie is just wonderful and is real, honest, hilarious and even a little bit touching. Let me reiterate: I really loved this movie.

Film Threat
Film Threat gave it four stars!

Teen movies about finding yourself in the transition between high school and college have been run into the ground, so it was a complete shock for me when I watched Jonathon Levine’s heart felt and witty film, “The Wackness”…Levine wrote and directed this film, and deserves extra credit for the amazing screenplay. The dialogue is sharp, witty and will put the potty-mouthed “Superbad” to shame, while the cast delivers top-notch performance after performance.
