If I only had a brain...

I am going to go watch Play It Again,Sam while eating homemade strawberry creme fraiche ice cream. Earlier today we watched Casablanca. This is the One True Double Feature.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I don't bitchslap. I share the love.

Please don't come at me with a baseball bat, hammer, or knife.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

So barehanded is okay?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

For theater folks, our response when Swordfish came out was "Oh, Hugh Jackman, the guy from the London production of "Oklahoma" that got such amazing reviews." I was waiting for him to get into films, because his theater rep. preceded him. So not stunt casting in his case.

What was your response when X-Men came out?

Yes, yes, you can stop slapping me now. I only asked if it was, not claimed it was.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Paige Davis, of Trading Spaces fame, is currently in Chicago. I shit you not.

I just watched It Happened One Night. Is this why scriptwriters think that it's a good idea to do escalating misunderstanding romantic movies, or movies where she bolts at the altar?

Get the FUCK over it. I retract my statement that both devices suck. This movie was a delight, and plausible too. However, I replace that sentiment with "don't EVEN try it." It's been done crappily too many times since then for me to think it's a sensible risk.

D'oh, X-man. Whatever was first.

and isn't IHON lovely film? Got a wonderful relaxed feel to it, which a lot of films of that era lack.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.

I really don't understand the Denzel love.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Davis has been a stage actor-singer-dancer for years. She was in the Broadway "Beauty and the Beast." I have no idea why she auditioned for a "presenter"'s slot with a traveling tv makeover show. The schedule can't be any better. Money, maybe?
