I'm wondering who I can get to see it with me. Because I don't want to go alone to a movie that I know is going to make me cry like a little bitch, but then there aren't a whole lot of friends I'm willing to wail and howl in front of, especially at the movies. Hmmm.

Man, you desperately need a gay boyfriend, don't you?

Oh, and I didn't even mean that as a diss on Heath -- it just seemed like he had had so much potential that kind of fizzled.

HD-DVD vs Blu-Ray . (Partial list of titles to be released in each format.)

Blu-Ray should totally win the format wars, as it has a name that sounds like a sea creature or weapon or K-mart special.

Maybe it ruins my geek-cred, but I'm leaning towards sitting on the sidelines and waiting until the smoke clears before deciding which style of next-gen DVD player to get.

With Larry McMurtry as one of your screenwriters, I'm sure there were a whole bunch of nods to realism (all of which went over my head).

One of my co-workers was talking about the movie at lunch the other day and he kept saying "McMurtry thinks..." Apparently his son and McMurtry's grandson (James McM's son) are good friends and he had a chance to talk with Larry and James about the movie over the Xmas holiday. I can't remember any of the content of the McMurtry view on the movie (nothing was surprising about it, though), but his McMurtry impression was pretty funny. Apparently, both Larry and James mumble a lot and have a severe economy of words in conversations, just like the characters of their novels and songs, respectively.

Hey! I almost forgot to post that TCM is playing Miyazaki movies every Thursday this month, starting with Spirited Away and Princess Mononoke tonight.

Ha!

That's AWESOME, bon bon.

Oh my god. That is HYSTERICAL!
