There's Beauty In The Breakdown

Zack Braf pictured above with Natalie Portman stars in Garden State, which he also wrote and directed. The film, according to IMDb, is the story of a young man who returns back home for his mother's funeral after being estranged from his family for a decade. The trailer is rather short but we've watched it a few too many times. We wonder if this film could do justice to Natalie Portman's dwindling film career. Don't even get us started on Star Wars: Episode I & II or her other flops in between. Natalie, my dear, you need another good movie under your belt. After, the next Star Wars film please tell your agent to refrain from sending you sci-fi scripts.
Check out the New Vice issue with a special Vice Guide To Friendship. We especially liked the following:
FRIENDS ARE AT LEAST CORDIAL TO YOUR BOYFRIEND/GIRLFRIEND EVEN IF THEY THINK HE/SHE IS BORING, ANNOYING ON COKE, NOT ABLE TO PLAY "CELEBRITY," OR A FUCKING JUNKIE LIAR
That's all there is to say about that one.
and
FRIENDS ANSWER THE FUCKING PHONE
This is a friend prerequisite. I hate when people screen calls. Everyone thinks they're a drug dealer with their cell phone. Like my call isn't important enough to take while they're in the middle of checking Friendster? It's stoops in charge.* Either pick up the phone or call me back that day. You are not that busy, Donald Trump. What do you have to do, get ready for the Governor's Ball? We're all fucking occupied, but we make time for what counts. Like friendship.
Also, if they genuinely can't get the phone, a real friend will leave an outgoing voicemail message with a joke that only all their friends will get.
