'The Skeleton Twins': Anatomy of an Indie Gem

Finally got around to watching "The Skeleton Twins," a film my brother Bill swore I would love -- and not just because it opens with Blondie's "Denis" (and later plays the femmed-up Randy and the Rainbows original)! Bill's not always right -- See: Schmidt, Kimmy; Rock, 30 -- but he was this time. 

If Kristen Wiig isn't enough draw for you guys, Bill Hader plays her gay twin brother -- who moves in with her and fiance Luke Wilson (long time no see!) while trying to get his life back on track -- and Boyd Holbrook plays Wiig's sexy SCUBA instructor. The film is at times emotionally draining -- zig-zagging between uproariously funny to unbelievably dark -- but just like real life, that's what makes it worthwhile. 

Fun Couple Alert: Jon Hamm and Kristen Wiig

Co-stars Jon Hamm and Kristen Wiig at the premiere of "Bridesmaids" in L.A. yesterday. The film is chock-filled of talent, yet the trailer look horrendous to me (the fat chick?). But I hear it's good -- how could ANYTHING with "Reno 911" alumn Wendi McLendon-Covey be bad? -- might it be the best film with a horrible trailer since "Clueless"?

Surprise Party

I haven't been able to sit through an episode of "Saturday Night Live" since Gilda Radner jumped ship in ages, but thank god I can get my Kristen Wiig fix on the sly. (HILARIOUS!!!) (Hat tip: Matty)
