The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.

Scarlett Johannsen turned twenty today.

Excuse me while I scrub my eyeballs.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

I liked but didn't love Lost in Translation and Eternal Sunshine. I want to see Finding Neverland , Kinsey, Bad Education, and Spongebob.

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

She'd better watch it.

In a Sept. 7 interview in The New York Times, the newly minted, 18-year-old It Girl, star of Lost in Translation and the forthcoming Girl with a Pearl Earring -- in both films, she plays muse to a man in midlife crisis -- blithely declaimed that "for older women, death happens inside" and that older men need a "young, fertile, fruitful woman" to "help them across that bridge."

Menopausal women won't do, insisted Johansson, who just graduated this past spring from NYC's Professional Children's School. Being an older man, she analogized, is like "you just got evicted. And you're with someone who's going to be evicted. All you can do is complain how bad it is. . . .

"But then somebody comes along who's not being evicted, who says . . . 'Come stay with me.' "

Every year is one tick closer to the dumpster.

If I only had a brain...

Boy, is she going to have a fun ol' time turning thirty.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Heh. She's young and smart and talented and full of shit. What a crapload of faux sophistication.

Oh Scarlett. Let's hope someone close to her saved this gem for her 40th birthday.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

blithely declaimed that "for older women, death happens inside" and that older men need a "young, fertile, fruitful woman" to "help them across that bridge."

If she talks that way around a post-menopausal woman having a hot flash, death's going to happen outside to her.

Oh! I watched Suicide Club over the weekend. A world of ew! I did not like. Loved Battle Royale, though.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Does anyone else totally identify with this comic?

Hee! I loved that.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

I was "meh" on Big Fish also.

You are SO dead to Jilli.

Plei is wise, and knows me well.

I'd better let her borrow my goth music video tape.

That *might* resurrect you in my eyes.

However, I will be the first to admit that my taste in movies is all over the map. Adore Big Fish beyond all reason. I also am very fond of Hudson Hawk , Long Kiss Goodnight , AND whatever that Geena Davis pirate movie was. Yes, I own it. Oh, and while I liked Lost In Translantion , I didn't think it utterly super-fantastic.
