So, that church that I pass every night changed its billboard. Unfortunately, they changed it to "If your relgion doesn't take you to church, chances are that it won't take you to heaven." Dude, I don't want to be in a heaven with people who can't even spell the word 'religion' (and, yeah, there isn't a letter missing or anything. And it's been ( Read more... )

Briefly:
I rented the first two seasons of Homicide: Life on the Streets from netflix, but knew by the end of the first episode that it wasn't a show that was meant for me. I liked some of the characters, and I did think that the Bayliss and Pembleton interaction was interesting, but the format, editing, and even the way they filmed the show itself ( Read more... )

So, my mom got me tickets to a preview showing of The Island after I mentioned that I wanted to see it because of the, you know, tiny little thing that I have for Ewan McGregor.

Basically, I loved it. I loved the sci-fi, I loved the action, and I absolutely loved the characters. Ewan, as always, created a wonderfully comprehensive and ( Read more... )

Asking me to choose a favorite Ewan McGregor movie would be like asking me to choose a favorite Buffy episode. Sure, I can do it, but if you ask me again tomorrow, I'll probably have a different answer (for the curious, my favorite BtVS episode of this moment in time is Selfless from season 7. Thank you and have a nice day ( Read more... )

So, I have two Ewan McGregor movies rattling about in my head, longing to be compared. They are, of course, Moulin Rouge and Young Adam.

Ewan (or his agent, or whoever) has a really good eye for scripts. His ratio of quality to crap is much higher than most actors, I've noticed ( Read more... )

1. I dislike calling in sick to work. Correction: I dislike disappointing people. But I've been coughing for the last two days (which were my days off) and I sound like I've spent the last forty years smoking, so really, drive-through is kinda out. Plus, the horrid cough just might put people off their food ( Read more... )

So, I just saw The Pillow Book. And... really wasn't prepared. I knew the big thing that was going to happen, but the movie itself was... very much a surprise
( Brief but very significant spoilers )

Moulin Rouge still makes me cry at the end.

Ewan fucking McGregor, man. Of course, Baz is partly to blame, since he doesn't have a problem with actors seriously crying (see: Romeo and Juliet for more ugly and real crying from a Baz film). And Nicole is perfect in this, truly. Gorgeous and tragic and, dude, her skin glowsI've seen this film... I ( Read more... )
