I saw March of the Penguins last Saturday. I loved it and probably used up all of my available squee for the next two weeks. It was also fun to see the audience--a full theater--go into "awwwww" mode simultaneously.

Hey. New board.
I have a plan that will involve seeing "Mad Hot Ballroom" and "March of the Penguins" in the same day.
I think I need to warm up by looking at pictures of fuzzy puppies, baby pandas, and grinning babies. Together.

There was a trailer on the DVD for a flick called Blue Sunshine that seems to be some sort of corporate conspiracy thing...wonder if that's where "Blue Sun" came from?
It's not - it's (going to spoiler font) about a group of people who all dropped a mutant version of LSD back in the 60s that, 10 years later, turns them into murderous psychotics. The conspiracy aspect is that the guy who cooked up the LSD is now a prominent politician, and is trying to keep his past a secret. Starring Mr. Red Shoe Diaries himself, Zalman King.

Hey. New board.
I saw Happy Endings on Saturday night. It had some really brilliant moments, and the acting was good - Maggie Gyllenhaal, particularly, was fabulous. As a whole movie, I'm not sure it really fit together all that fabulously, but I came out of the movie feeling fully satisfied. If it sounds interesting to you, check it out.
We had TONS of trailers that I loved (yay!) including:
The Aristocrats - I need to see this because dirty jokes are funny.
Pretty Persuasion - Evan Rachel Wood doing a SMG-in-Cruel-Intentions impression. This movie sounds interesting and freaky enough that I have to see it, especially since I Heart ERW
Broken Flowers - Yay Bill Murray! I will see this.
Shopgirl - This looked interesting. Of the ones i saw, it's the one I'm most likely to skip, but Claire Danes!
Rent - The theater started clapping to the music. Some of us sang along, quietly. Of COURSE I'm seeing this.

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

The book is hilarious and lovely, and the trailer looks promising.

So, basically you need to look at a book of Anne Geddes pictures.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Last night I saw (for the first time) Footloose and Flashdance. So fun. Flashdance is a terrible film in every way but cinematography and art direction. Footloose was fabulous and now I want to watch it again fifty bazillion times and also get up and dance during the musical numbers.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Coincedentally, I am now listening to The Police.

My HS GF loved that flick. So I like it when others besides myself say it sucks.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Robin, I'm just sad you never had the chance to be in fifth grade and do a whole routine to the song "Footloose," culminating in jumping off the coffee table.
