What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Dude! I didn't know that! I'm a Savoyard as well. Did you see the G & S parody I posted in Bitches a couple months ago?

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Just came back from seeing "Cellular". It's short, fast-paced, has a goofy but not preposterous premise, a low-key sense of humor, and engaging characters, and it manages to be one of the most genuinely entertaining small movies I've had the pleasure to watch in this past year. Also, it has William H. Macy, who automatically makes pretty much anything he's in worth watching. It actually reminded me of nothing as much as "Speed", which ain't a bad thing.

I watched Wet Hot American Summer tonight with some friends, which is one of the funniest movies I've ever seen. The extra farts soundtrack is awesome. And, having given several summers of my life to a weirdo arts camp, I can say with some authority that it is actually frighteningly accurate in parts!

I watched "Master and Commander" and "Hidalgo" tonight. It was Boy Movie Night, clearly. So I settled in with my beer and enjoyed the pretty.
M&C was better than I expected, although it took a while to settle into it. The effects were spectacular, and I was really impressed how much they shot out on the ocean. I liked the cast, too, especially Lt. Pullings. And Pippin! Hee. I loved the Galapagos bits. And the weevils. Ew!
Hidalgo was... actually, it felt like two movies. There was the Disney movie with the wacky cartoon violence and adventure, and then there was this rather moving story about a guy owning his heritage and his past. The problem was they really didn't mesh very well, and I was slightly appalled that they used the Wounded Knee massacre as a character driver. I won't even get into the biological implausibilities and inaccuracies: people who know horses better than I do can likely speak to all that. So while I enjoyed parts of it, I was left vaguely unsatisfied.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Finally saw Hero last night. Wonderful. Still swooning.

Art Crawl!!!
Yeah, I watched Hidalgo on dvd and was also appalled that they used Wounded Knee that way.
If only they could have used a horse that really looked like a mustang rather than the horse they used.
Actual mustangs and actual arabian horses are both excellent endurance racers.
I'm not sure that the QH-type paint that they used in the movie would have been the same.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Netflix sent me The Apple while I was on vacation. This makes me happy, though I wish I had gotten it before I left so I could have made DX watch it.
