August is a 2008 American drama film directed by Austin Chick and presented by 57th & Irving. The screenplay by Howard A. Rodman focuses on two brothers, ambitious dot-com entrepreneurs attempting to keep their company afloat as the stock market begins to collapse in August 2001, one month prior to the 9/11 attacks.
The film premiered as an official selection of the Spectrum section at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival.
Tom and Joshua Sterling are two brothers, whose Internet start-up, Landshark, is as hot as a New York City summer – only this is the summer of 2001, their company is in lock up, its stock price is plunging and, in a few weeks, the world will change forever.
In the meantime, Tom Sterling is living the hedonistic life of an Internet star; he dates multiple women, drives a 67 Camaro convertible and hangs out at a new club called Bungalow 8. Tom Sterling is a true showman, a demigod in a cult – and culture – of personality.
As of October 13, 2008, the review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes reported that 35% of critics rated the film positively based on 23 reviews, with a consensus that "Josh Hartnett puts in a well-intentioned performance but overall, August only superficially explores its dotcom-burst setting."Metacritic reported the film had an average score of 39 out of 100 based on 10 reviews, indicating a generally negative response.
I'll be your piece de resistance, I'll be your piece de resistance
Now I take my dirt and love and affection
And point it right into your direction
I'll be sure life has been missing I will
Said I will
And I can see desire in your eyes
And I can see you desperately wanna try
Cause I will be the sugar to your cavity tube
Yeah you may loose it, you still abuse it
[Chorus:]
I'll be your piece de resistance, when you call me
You can have what you want
I could you be your free, girl your bride to be
If you wanted me forever,
Piece de resistance, the only thing that you know you want
I'll be your piece, I'll be your piece de resistance
Piece de resistance, the only thing that you know you want
I'll be your piece, I'll be your piece de resistance
Now I will take my style and fashionable looks
I will snake you like a fish to a hook
I will touch and tease you every emotion
I shout, yeah I shout
And I can see the weakness in your eyes
I took you when I broke you down to size
I will be the nicotine to your addiction
I'm what you been missing
What you wishing for
[Chorus:]
I'll be your piece de resistance, when you call me
You can have what you want
I could you be your free, girl your bride to be

I'll be your piece, I'll be your piece de resistance
Piece de resistance, the only thing that you know you want
I'll be your piece, I'll be your piece de resistance
Whoa, whoa, your piece de resistance
Then I can be in front of family
And I can be your freak in the sheets, yeah
Then take me to the party
And no one knows how naughty we are, no, no
And I know you be satisfied, you can hide
That
[Chorus:]
I'm your piece de resistance, when you call me
You can have what you want
I could you be your free, girl your bride to be
If you wanted me forever,
Piece de resistance, the only thing that you know you want
I'll be your piece, I'll be your piece de resistance
Piece de resistance, the only thing that you know you want
