See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Splendid trailer! I am commencing to not panic just now.
Emmett and I just got back from The Pacifier.
Analysis: A lot of stuff happened. Cute kids. Teen girl totally doing S1 Buffy. Also, Vin Diesel is occasionally shirtless, and Vin Diesel shirtless inspired audible gasps from most of the women and not a few of the men in the audience at the showing we attended, immediately followed by an awed, reverent hush. The same gasp-and-hush occurred very late in the film during a brief scene of Vin in a snug short-sleeved shirt snuzzling a giggling toddler. Oh, dear God, the pretty.
Plot, writing, directing, all very paint-by-numbers and banal and blatantly manipulative. But oh so pretty. And he doesn't suck as an actor, and Lorelai Gilmore is also much more splendid than this kind of a movie deserves.
Did I mention the shirtless? 'Cause, damn.
Also notable: on the way out, Emmett looked at the marquee above the door across the hall and said, "Hey, can we see Million Dollar Baby next time?"
"Uh, NO."
He gave me a cross look. "But WHYNOTWHY?"
I reeled it all off quickly: Violent, scary, sad, people dying, scary grown-up things to think about, why the hell would he want to see it anyway?
He gave me a duh, like it's not obvious look. "There's a scene where a young guy gets beat up by an old man. AND, the old man is played by the old man who played God in Bruce Almighty! That'd be so tight! I totally want to see that!"
Still, um, NO.

I just read over at Oscarwatch that Friday's Daily Mail reported a rumor of a movie version of Sondheim's Sweeney Todd, directed by Sam Mendes, possibly starring Russell Crowe as Sweeney and maybe Imelda Stauton as Mrs. Lovett! I'd definitely see this.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
The same gasp-and-hush occurred very late in the film during a brief scene of Vin in a snug short-sleeved shirt snuzzling a giggling toddler.
He apparently spent a lot of the time on the set playing with the kidlets and has now been gushing about wanting kids of his own.
Hmm. I may have to see this movie...

In an article in a recent Sunday paper, Vin's referrred to as the Baby Whisperer, because he was often the only one who could get the babies to stop crying. He was also working on that Lumet picture, and he would find himself rocking back and forth, as if he were holding a kid.
The man's biological clock just went off, I think.

I cannot begin to explain how adorable I find this to be.
I blame hormones.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I blame hormones.
At least you have an excuse.
Wait, I can blame it on hormones too -- probably just not the same ones.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Just saw Bad Education and oh my god am I in LOVE with Gael "Gorgeous in a Dress" Garcia Bernal. Even more than I was from his earlier work, which I did not think possible.
Almodovar is freaking God.

First, ROCK! I've wanted a movie of this for ages. In principle, I wouldn't mind Russell Crowe as Sweeney, either. But can he sing? I mean, REALLY sing? That's a pretty intense part, vocally.
