Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Mmm, now I want another drink. It does go with the GGs.

an object lesson for sexy but sloppy actors, like CF. There is the result of a slippery grooming slope.

ha ha ha! I hate to laugh, but it is SO TRUE.

I'm watching on time delay, so I'm just now seeing young Kirk and Spock and all I can say is that movie is only going to fuel the slash.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

There are a lot of people in fandom who are waiting for the day that people see the new Trek movie and then decide they've invented Kirk/Spock slash.

And then they plan to laugh.

“Not dead yet!”

I can't wait to see Revolutionary Road.

Me neither, although I've read the book and it's absolutely GUTTING.

And yeah, I totally hear you on the differences inherent in GG voters vs. Oscar voters. I mean, the fact that they serve copious amounts of alcohol at the GGs should be the first clue, right?

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

There are a lot of people in fandom who are waiting for the day that people see the new Trek movie and then decide they've invented Kirk/Spock slash.

The two of them were very cute together.

I still cried over Heath even though I knew it was coming.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

i'm really hoping all these awards get more people to see Slumdog Millionaire. it's one of my favorite movies i've seen in the past few weeks.

Revolutionary Road is extremely well done. you feel like you're hiding in their bedroom witnessing all the things you shouldn't. Leo and Kate sell it on every single level.

i'm sososo happy for Kate. she really deserved that. i only hope that Leo ends up getting the Oscar. i have a feeling Brad is going to end up getting robbed this year because there are so many other wonderful films out there. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is an incredibly beautiful story though.

Because books.

I have, of course, seen nothing yet. I fail at movie-going lately.

Me neither, although I've read the book and it's absolutely GUTTING.

Maybe I should pick it up. I'll probably read it long before I get to the theater, that's for sure.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

We're interrupting this with a (hopeful?) newscast:

Barak and Livni disagree with Olmert, want quick end to Gaza fighting.

C'mon, brain-of-Olmert. For once in this term, work.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

Oh, and Mona's picture? To DIE for.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Mona = SO CUTE.

MR is also an object lesson in DON'T RANDOMLY DECIDE TO BECOME A BOXER. If you want your face to live, that is.

CF seems like he should be repulsive, but I find him oddly charming, and he's so madly in love with and proud of his kid (and also very open about his son's struggles, rather than glossing them over), so he winds up on the Awww, Colin! end of things.

WTF was J-Lo wearing???

Also, Cameron Diaz.

Our wings are not tired.

Mona is one extremely cute doggie!

And it wasn't only boxing that screwed up Rourke's face. He's had scads of bad surgery. When my friend used to date him, he would tell her all the time how ugly he felt. And he also hit her a few times, so I am not really a fan of his.
