Times Online has posted an article about the 50 biggest movies of 2009 they’re looking forward to and surprisingly enough, S. Darko made the list. Here’s what they had to say about the film:
26: S. Darko (no release date announced)
An unexpected sequel to 2001’s hallucinatory time loop brain-teaser Donnie Darko, which already has fans of the original film near-apoplectic at its superfluity. Curiosity value alone guarantees S. Darko a strong opening weekend. Word of mouth will determine whether it can survive in theatres for more than a week, but it could equally become a cult smash.
Whole list.
Thanks to Rose for the heads up, Twilight is now available for pre-order on Amazon. And for those wanting to know, tickets to the Salute to Twilight convention are now on sale.
Jackson is featured in the February issue of the Australian magazine, Girlfriend. Thanks to Marissa for the scan!

And now, a review of the January 6th show from Lydia of JacksoNation.
Hello everyone…
Tuesday night, 100 Monkeys had their first show of the New Year at 24K Lounge, and though this particular fan has attended several of the shows there (Some over-flowing with fans, some more intimate and peaceful.), Tuesday nights show was eye-popping.
The evening began with the usual warm up act, Kyrie. Her musical style is a gentle reggae rhythm, her voice is beautiful, there’s even a ukulele thrown in occasionally for good measure.
Next Rory Uphold came onstage, and for anyone unfamiliar with her, she’s a force. Rory’s voice is like the torch singers of long ago, but the songs she writes are poignant and very current in their content. This fan’s personal favorite is Rory’s song “Glitter”, which she stated was written about Hollywood.
After Rory sang several of her familiar tunes, she was joined on stage by Jackson, Ben Graupner, and Ben Johnson, all her former schoolmates. They sang one song together, which Rory killed on – her voice is just fabulous – called “Back to L.A.”
The rest of 100 Monkeys soon joined Jackson, Bens G and J, and they launched into a set which included, “Smoke“, “Ugly Girl“, and in a surprise, first-time-live performance, “The Scientist“, made popular by their often played YouTube video. They rocked “Orson Brawl” and ended their night as they generally do with “Thank you” (Here’s a video actually recorded last night for the show: “Thank You”), which was accompanied by some of Jackson’s slick dance moves.
Though they left early on, sharp-eyed observers may find video of the band on MTV.com sometime in the future, because they were filming for the early part of the evening, and the wonderful Mr. Larry Carroll was seen amongst the melee.
After 100 Monkeys had finished, Jackson voiced his own personal gratitude to the fans, and they cleared the stage for Wake Up Lucid who are, quite frankly, a fantastic rock band! Their music just drives fast and pulls no punches. I’ve seen them several times now, and they never disappoint.
At the very end of the evening, once Wake Up Lucid had finished their set, Jackson returned to the stage, again thanking all attending for coming out, and made a vague threat that 100 Monkeys would return to the stage. Unfortunately, it was not to be.
Still, all in all, it was a fantastic night.
Cheers & Best wishes!

I must say, that this all is so amazing. For real. And that makes me happy that some people are so good in many things, like Jackson. Very good!
