Movies I've watched recently, no spoilers:
Speak The book was definitely better, but I suppose that it could have been worse.
How to Deal Even when I tried getting over the fact that this combined Someone Like You and That Summer, the whole thing kind of sucked. I wanted to shoot most of the characters. When it came out years ago a friend of mine saw it and decided that the Mandy Moore character reminded her of me. I think I should be offended.
Crazy/Beautiful Suicide themes!! Woo-hoo!!
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind Have I ever mentioned how much I like movies/books/whatever that defy the conventional theories of time. Anything in which events are shown out of sequence or, like The Time Traveler's Wife, actually occur out of order, makes me very happy.
I watched the pilot for The West Wing last night. Bad idea. I've always planned to check it out at some point in the future, maybe when I use Netflix or something. Unfortunately that is not the case at the moment and so I will most likely pick up the season 1 set every time I see it only to put it back because I it's too expensive. Also, Allison Janney and Lisa Edelstein are both positively wonderful.
Spoilers for Veronica Mars season 2, particularly the finale.
1. How long until Charisma Carpenter can't get a job because of the insane clause in all of her contracts. You know, the one that says that if she is romantically/sexually linked with one character in a show she must also be romantically/sexually linked with that character's father or son?
2. My sister and I were watching "Silence of the Lamb" last night and she came up with an interesting question. If Mac and Madison Sinclair had not been switched at birth, would Mac be the one dating Lamb? I personally find the idea to be hysterical.
3. The general reaction to the tvguide announcement that 7th Heaven appears to be coming back (as found
here) mainly consist of votes for VM instead. The world is not stupid.
I have one last final tonight (U.S. History II) and then I am done for good. I just have to spend most of next week at school anyway because Monday is the awards ceremony, Tuesday is graduation rehearsal, and Wednesday is the graduation itself. And yes, for the second year in a row, I will be missing the 24 finale due to school. At least this time the rest of my family will be missing it too.
