Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I'm so over Scarlett Johansson.
I barely noticed her. I think Hilary Swank was absorbing most of my irritation. I didn't have enough left over for Scarlett.
Now that I've completed a bajillion chores and errands, it's movie time again. I feel it should be Western night.

Oh totally, but I expect her to suck. Not a fan.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
I didn't feel compelled to seek out a synopsis of the movie to figure out what the fuck I just watched.
I'm so glad to hear it wasn't just me! I mean, jings, I am all about narrative. Following plots? SO not normally problematic for me. And I'm good with long stories too. But with Black Dahlia... well, I appreciated the fact that it all looked pretty, and the conceit of using period-esque transitions was vaguely charming, but when the damn thing finally meandered to its conclusion I was left staring at the screen and wondering what had actually happened, and why I was supposed to give a damn.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
Wow, Black Dahlia is the only movie I can remember having to look up after to figure it out. Also, hated it.
I had a dream last night that I was watching an old B&W movie with Cary Grant that was revolutionary. There was even a full-on butt shot for some reason. I was watching it with my parents, and suddenly it turned into a spouse-swapping movie, with Cary Grant making a move on the old man after joking that the old man's wife was gonna run off with Cary Grant's young wife. And then my parents got up and walked out and I didn't get to see the end.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Zodiac was too too TOO long. I did love the final look the guy gives in there hardware store, though. Chilling.

I just saw the General Lee!
Polgara and I were at Mel's, when someone drove by in a General Lee. As we were driving back to my house, I spotted it parked at the Coffee Bean. I made Polgara pull in and take a photo. It went something like this:
Me: PULL INTO THE COFFEE BEAN!
Polgara: Wha?
Me: It's the General Lee! You can take a picture!
Polgara: We don't have to pull in. I can get a photo from here.
Me: Pull in anyway. It's clearly a SIGN that I should have a latte.
