I just put in Latter Days with no idea what it was about or why I put it in my Netflix queue. It opened with a most awesome sex scene and then in the next scene there was Amber Benson! I still don't recall why I put it in the queue.
We didn't have sex, if that's what you mean. That's all I do now, not have sex.

That was a good one. Trashy, but good.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Just saw Ratatouille.
Lovely, fun, beautifully made film. I loved it as much as the 4-year-old and 9-year-old we went with, who were both completely captivated for the whole movie.

I gotta say I disagree on the trashy in re: Latter Days. I thought it was the sweetest love story since Brokeback Mountain.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Transformers was awesome! There were giant robots transforming into things and then transforming into robots! It was totally sweet! The plot was nonsense, as it was written by Alias writers, but that's not the point. Giant robots! Beating the crap out of each other! Things blowing up! Woooo!!!
Also, the Cloverfield trailer was a thousand times better in the theater. Wow. I'm really excited for it now.

If only I'd kept that in mind back when Lost first began to air.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.
Did we already know there is a remake of The Day The Earth Stood Still in pre-production? I'm in the "it'll suck major dog balls" camp. [link]

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

The basis of the plot wasn't written by them. They had second crack at it. And I heard that Bay rewrote too. So it'd not be fair to blame it on them.
