The woman who made the original version of The Killing has apparently made a dark and intense movie about vaulting.
Now, this would be the perfect time for a swear word.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
So Beau and I saw Ides of March.
It is official: Beau hates Ryan Gosling. He believe the man cannot act at all. Beau also did not like Evan Rachel Wood. He dug Hoffman, Clooney, Giamatti, but didn't really like anyone else.
I am not sure what I was expecting with IOM, but I guess I was expecting a political thriller and that's not the movie I got. It reminds me a bit about my expectations of the virus movie and what I experienced seeing it.
IOM feels smaller in scope than what I expected and I didn't buy some of the character's reactions. For example, if you are experienced in national campaigns, you would be a bit savvy about various dynamics. You certainly would be a lot more savvy than a certain character in this movie. The naïvete burned.
One thing that really pissed me off was Evan Rachel Wood's character. For the love of Athena, can we please not have abortion punishment any more? Please? Pretty please? I was counting down how long before the character would "suffer the consequences" and of course I was not disappointed.
My recommendation is, this is not a must-see movie (at least not in theaters). Wait for the rental, or when it comes to tv. I'm glad we got out of the house, but I kinda wished we had gone to see Rocky Horror instead.

OK, nothing's on TV tonight and I left Transformers: Rise of the Fallen on in the background, and way back when I thought from people complaining about the racist robots that it might be a case of stereotypical accents or something, but DEAR LORD are Michael Bay and the writers members of the KKK?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I just saw 50/50 and really loved it. Great writing and JGL is incredible. I highly recommend it.

Can't wait to see 50/50 when I get back to the States.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
This is so not a precedent that needs to be set.

Good grief.

Although...
could we sue Michael Bay? Please?
