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.
Zodiac was too too TOO long. I did love the final look the guy gives in there hardware store, though. Chilling.
count me as one of the weird ones who LOVED Zodiac. it was slow, but it also kept me on the edge of my seat.
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.
Negotiating~ma to the writers and be~reasonable~fer~chrissakes~ma to the studios.
That's disappointing about
The Black Dahlia
because the book is really excellent.
Dare We Hope a Deal Has Been Struck?
As the WGA strike begins its 4th week, I've been told positive news about today's resumption of contract talks between the writers and the producers. So positive, in fact, that I'm almost fearful to post it. But here goes: a very reliable source tells me that there appears to be a deal seemingly in place between both sides.
"It's already done, basically," the insider describes. That's because of the weeks worth of groundwork by the Hollywood agents working the writers guild leadership on one side, and the studio and network moguls on the other. I was told not to expect an agreement this week. But my source thought it was possible that the strike could be settled before Christmas.
I just heard that a national poll has 63% of the US on WGA's side.
The 63% isn't even the best part of that poll -- Only 8% support the producers! The rest are unsure. Another poll gives the writers 69% and the producers 4% [link]
