How do PeeWee Herman and Grace Jones not go well together.
And I pretty much admitted I'd do it in Natter. So now everyone else is clear.

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

If we're talking the Sheen/Estevas family, REPO MAN is my Emilio movie - fuck the Breakfast Club.

Always Anti-fascist!
Totally think Charlie self-medicates to deal with rampaging mental problems. Because it does seem like he has lucid periods, and then "Tiger blood?!" WTF? I also can't believe I ever thought Mel Gibson was cute.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Well, DH and I rented The Interview on Google Play last night just in case Sony changed their mind again, and all I can say is I'm glad we only paid $6 and now maybe that people have finally seen the movie we can all stop pretending that this is the thing that's going to get us riled up about censorship.
There are a few genuinely funny bits, but overall it's just a dull racist slog. It's aiming at satire, but it's not smart or funny enough to get there. James Franco is playing a raunchier version of Stephen Colbert, but not very well. Seth Rogen is the straight man, but Franco's performance isn't funny enough to need one. There's an undercurrent of homophobia throughout the whole thing. (I think probably they were aiming for satire there too, but as with the Asian jokes, they just wind up being the thing they're trying to make fun of.)

I'm watching Fellowship of the Ring. Poor, doomed Boromir.
I think Winter Soldier after this.

Surprisingly the Hobbit movie was sold out this afternoon, so I saw Into the Woods instead. Emily Blunt and James Corden were awesome, but I'm not so keen on the jobs everyone else did.

I definitely enjoyed the heck out of Into the Woods, but mostly for the fact it was Sondheim and Lapine than for the actors; I felt many of them were easily replaceable. Although, not necessarily with anyone in specific, just that they all seemed so generic. But maybe that's what the story needed, really. It's much more an ensemble piece by virtue of the way all the different fairy tales are wound together. It's only the baker's story that ties them all together.
For myself, I found Emily Blunt and Meryl Streep the most memorable vocally. And for all that I was watching for Chris Pine, it caught me by surprise that I found his Prince Charming so unlikeable until I realized that was the point of his part. Once I realized that, I was able to let go of my preconceptions and absolutely roared with laughter at the "agony" competition with his brother.
It was totally worth the ten bucks I paid to see it. Even my dad enjoyed it and said it was pretty amazing and he is not easy to please.
