I said I'm sorry. I've made mistakes, but fear was never one of them.

All this time, I thought Hunter was a bitch. Turns out she was just hungry.

It's all footies to me!

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

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Saw THE LIFE AQUATIC tonight. It was really hard to get into for a huge chunk of the movie - not sure if it was the fact that I've been dragging ass all week and had a big ass burger and several beers before hand, or my mood in general, or my impression that Steve Zassou's weed habit was something he inherited from his creator.

However, by the end of the movie I was digging it fierce. By the time Zassou had his breakdown in the sub, I was hooked.

Question for those who've seen it: At the end of the power walk during the end credits (which felt so much like an hommage to the credits of BUCKAROO BANZAI it can't have been unintentional, especially with Jeff Goldblum in the cast), when they get to the ship, there's a figure in a suit and a captain's hat who's smoking a pipe and standing in the crow's nest - was that Owen Wilson? Or were we just supposed to wonder it it was? Either way, nice touch.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."

(The following was written by the giddy ten year old girl I've been temporarily replaced with.)

I finally saw Phantom! So good! I'll give that it was very cheesy and not even terribly well done at times but I SO DIDN'T CARE! I am going to love it and hug it and call it George.

I brought two friends, one of whom really wanted to see it, and one of whom hadn't seen me this hopped up to see a movie in a long time so she humored me, and I was afraid that they might be bored or not like it but A) As previously stated, I didn't care, and B) they really liked it too. So much that one of them wanted to listen to 'Point of No Return' on the way home because it was "So hot." And it was!

The Phantom was fantastically pretty. I was unaccustomed to that, but pleased. They weren't the best singers ever, but they carried it, and I almost didn't mind that they cast 'actors' over 'singers', because one of the coolest things for me was to see the characters' faces and reactions up close thoughout the movie. When you see a show, unless you're lucky enough to be in the first few rows, what you generally see are a bunch of stick figures dancing and singing.

I'm so childishly stoked right now that I'm almost embarrased by my total lack of snark, and I'm sure that it's deserving of some. So it's best I stop now. I promise tommorrow to pick some other movie apart in this one's place.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Lilty! Holy crap! I saw Phantom tonight too!

I liked it all right, having never read the book or seen the show. I wanted more things to blow up, though.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."

Dude, you should be grateful that anything blew up at all! That was an addition!

But, yay!!

Gets dizzy from childish fandom and falls down.

Eew! That was...unsettling.
