Rayne, I agree with you on the villain in The Losers. I may have been biased by the io9 review before I saw it, but he didn't work for me.

I just saw Eat Pray Love

Why?

I liked the book(although I did not find the Meaning of Life in it, shock!), but it seemed awfully...internal to be a film. Lots of thinking, worrying, and meditating. I still can't believe they did that. And all the tie-in articles are missing the point...it's not that Indian food is some magic-carpet ride(although I really do like it)...It's about eating *mindfully*, not just either shoving it in or shunning things that are *bad* in some study this week. In theory, you could do that with a pb&j.

I was keen on seeing The Kids Are All Right until I was spoiled for a disappointing plot point.

Now I want to see it with Plei and find out if the new vistas of hatred it would open up would actually enable her to throttle Julianne Moore through the screen like Darth Vader did that flunky in Empire Strikes Back.

okay, you need to get that on youtube or something.

See, I'm so thoroughly spoiled for that movie due to the identity police squad in the After Ellen comments that I'm tempted to go see it despite her. Also I can't be the only person in the world who lived with lesbians -- who had no romantic interest in men -- who would occasionally sleep with one for complex reasons usually involving a bad breakup or a fight with their girlfriend.

Short form, from the descriptions and spoilers, it sounds more like it is twisting the trope on its head. and that's coming from someone who usually can't stand Julianne Moore and who hated Chasing Amy.

January Jones == Emma Frost

P-C, I went because a good friend wanted to go. In a TOTALLY chick move, we combined it with stopping by DSW to look for shoes she can wear to her son's Bar Mitzvah. I was very helpful, except at those moments when I was offering her gold sequinned converse or plastic stripper heels as alternatives.

Anyone want to suggest more ideas for Star Wars Underwear? [link]

I ended up liking the book a lot more than I thought I would, partly out of sheer bloody-mindedness after seeing some of the user reviews on Amazon. If someone hits my rage hot buttons, and I swear I will love the thing they hate just to spite 'em!

(In this case, it was all the scoldy "I can't believe she was conventionally attractive and had a spouse who wanted kids and she had the nerve to be clinically depressed, that selfish bitch" complaints--because, you know, depression is so entirely contingent on outside circumstances and nobody with any material worldly goods has any right to fucked-up brain chemistry and nothing cheers up someone in the grips of suicidal ideation like being told, "Hey, other people have it so much worse, snap out of it!" All the proud, smug, self-righteous depression ignorance on parade made me adore that book to bits where the actual book itself had inspired mere mild engagement and pleasure.)

(Gee, I guess that hot button is still hot. Sorry for the rant!)

Dude, you know, I feel you. Even as a rather "deserving" dysthmic person. I thought she did a decent job of describing it, even though I felt sorry thinking of her ex-hubs acres of "WTF?" when being confronted with this bomb. But I still can't believe it's a movie, except some producer was like "k-ching!"
