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.
Harrow: You didn't have to wound that man. Mal: Yeah, I know, it was just funny.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

"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.

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.

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

Was this after the botched surgery?

That is ugly.
The Unit is hella random tonight.

Nope, it was before the botched surgeries, ita. Friend was Carrie (before it became "Carre") Otis, who used to hang in the same music circles (world beat) as me when we were teens. We kept in touch through the "Wild Orchid" days and a little afterwards. (The last email I got from her, she was teaching yoga in Santa Monica and was planning to move to Marin.) Anyway, she loved him but their relationship was some crazy-ass bullshit.

I wonder if the surgery got him what he wanted. It sure looked like they did more damage than the boxing.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I highly recommend reading the Onion AV Club's GG Liveblog. Just don't take a big sip of coffee first.
I do not recommend that anyone see either Slumdog Millionaire or Revolutionary Road. I thought they were both pretty sad wastes of my time. (But everyone should buy the Slumdog soundtrack, which is MADE OF WIN.) (And I do think Kate & Leo give great performances in RR, but the script they're being asked to perform is dire. It's like Mad Men with the show:tell ratio completely reversed.)

Now tagless for your comfort.
How long ago was it that Victor witnessed Leo and his entourage being entitled jackasses in public?
Leo almost ran over my friend while riding a bicycle in Battery Park this past summer.
