I guess if I thought about it, Salma Hayek looks mid-thirties. But 40! And admits it! She rules.
Speaking of NYT movie reviews, I heard Host was good, but goddamn if I could tell either way from the review there. Utter gibberish.
We're in love. We're ... lovers. We're lesbian, gay-type lovers.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Salma Hayek is 40?? WTF! How many virgins do you have to exsanguinate to look like that at 40? I thought she was like 32.
My brother is torturing me. He keeps sending me negative reviews of 300.
I was going to say. There is no need to get into politics to hate that movie. The whole "I am going into batle with no armor on! Also, I think leather underpants are awesome -- they breathe so well!!" issue is a big non-starter, for me.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
40? Wow. I guess 40 is the new 30.

Dear Yahoo:
I hate you. You crash my browser every time. I will avoid you forever.

I do sometimes wonder how old I look -- I had someone recently say (in a professional setting) that I was "so young!" to have the job I do. Well, not really -- I've been doing this ten years, and the job is basically middle management. I didn't ask how old she thought I was.

I kind of loved the NY Times review, though.
Allegory hunters will find some gristly morsels of topicality tossed in their direction, but you can find many of the same themes, conveyed with more nuance and irony, in a Pokémon cartoon.

I have recently started to feel like I look a little old. I really need to figure out how to do something with my skin other than occasional washing (with Ivory soap no less) and even more occasional moisturizing. Because having wrinkles and pimples at the same time is no fair.

Most of the negative reviews that I've seen involve the "So, the Spartans are all white and their enemies are all black or brown, huh?" or "Wow, look at all the skin, that's effective armor" or "screw the movie, where's the video game that this thing is obviously trying to be?"

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
flea, stop washing with Ivory! Your face, anyhow. It's fine everywhere else.
I am irrationally delighted for Salma (well, irrationally inasmuch as she is a celebrity whose path will never ever cross mine and whom I "know" only through her movies, shiny magazines, and View Askew commentary tracks, but rationally inasmuch as through those media she seems quite awesome and happiness-deserving).
