The BF is reviewing the DVD release of Underworld; Evolution and we are watching it right now. It is horrible--very pretty and nicely moody but horrible. It's a better movie to look at than to watch, if you know what I mean.

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

The opening flashback and the Speedman/Beckinsale love scene were worth the price of admission for me — anything enjoyable afterwards (and there were at least a few fight scenes that were) was gravy.

Saw An Inconvenient Truth today. Depressed now.
I actually learned a good deal about global warming. I mean, I always knew it was bad and I try to be environmentally aware, but science and I are unmixy things so I liked the straightforward explanations here. And the before/after glacier photos are just shocking. Shocking.

Hey. New board.
I just saw it too. It made me want to insulate my apartment. Except that I don't have a working AC, so that would probably be BAD right now.

I need to find out if that's playing anywhere near me. I'm curious to see just how alarmist they are. Many scientists have got very opposite views on global warming and I want to see if they give both sides a fair shake.

I would say it's very one-sided, but very convincing.
I just went to Cars to cheer myself up. It worked, but all I could think during the race scenes was--all those emissions!

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Ok.
Finally saw Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.
Why did they screw with Lena's story so much?? God that bugged.
I should have learned my lesson with The Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood and how they murdered that all to shit.
Maybe it's movies with the name "Sisterhood" in it. It's a plot! A fuck up the story lines of women's books plots conspiracy!!
Effing stupid scriptwriters.**
**This statement only applies to the scriptwrites who eff up the movies based on books I really really like, which is, to my knowledge, no Buffista. Hear that Kevin Sullivan? Do ya?? I'll cut you for "Anne of Green Gables Three", you fucking fuck.

On the surface of it, that seems shocking. But I notice that they didn't include dates on those photos. Is it possible that it changes throughout the year?

Now tagless for your comfort.
We watched the Three Burials of Melchiades Estrada and I have to say I'm terribly disappointed with it. I think they greatly messes up with the timeline/flashback scenes. The acting was good and the characters could have been more compelling had they been fleshed out a little more.
Barry Pepper was great towards the end.
The ending is just badly confusing.
