Today's announcements:

1. My body is trying to kill me. Cramps and marking 62 freshman midterms should never ever occur in the same week. *fears tomorrow*

2. New plan: Re-make The Great Race, originally starring Tony Curtis, Jack Lemmon, and Natalie Wood, with Jamie Bamber as the Great Leslie (the Tony Curtis part) and Adam Savage of Mythbusters ( Read more... )

Day #20: Your Favorite Movie Adaptation of a Play
I'm assuming, based on yesterday's question, that this means a camouflaged Shakespeare. In which case, obviously, 10 Things I Hate About You. I love the ways that little things from the play are worked into the plot, especially the tutoring bit. As a film on its own, I think it's adorable, ( Read more... )

Day #19: Your Favorite Movie Version of a Play
If you haven't already guessed this, you haven't been paying attention. Yes, Kenneth Branagh's Much Ado About Nothing. (Followed by Branagh's Henry V and Branagh's Love's Labour's Lost, which I know no one likes, but I like it. It's frothy and decadent and silly and I love the way he set it and yes, I ( Read more... )

May
Up - Yay, Pixar! "Hi there, my name is Dug, my master made me this collar so I can communicate. Squirrel. ... ... Hi there, my name is Dug..."

Easy Virtue - Maybe. It is a Noel Coward, but I fear Jessica Biel...

July
Harry Potter - Duh.

Adam - Maybe. Hugh Dancy and Rose Byrne is good and I do like a quirky romcom.

August
Julie & Julia - Oh ( Read more... )

Today being the BSG Emmy screening in LA, I bring you a post about Wall-E. I am looking forward to Wall-E. To put it mildly. I am bouncing off the walls excited about this movie. I am perfecting my Wall-E speaking voice. And practicing it faithfully every day, to the delight of my immediate family. In honor of the coming Pixar, I present to you two ( Read more... )

AVOID THIS FILM AT ALL COSTS.

DO NOT, repeat, DO NOT see the new Veggietales movie. Only sorrow (or utter tearing boredom) will result.

Did you know that walking the mid-sized loop of the picket line in front of NBC in Burbank for a regular three hour shift means walking 6-7 miles? I didn't until yesterday. I've now been out to the lines three times, Pencil Day, last Thursday with Savvy and Kate, and yesterday, by myself. I'm thinking I'm going to try to make Monday a regular ( Read more... )

I saw Enchanted this morning. I LOVED IT. It was sweet and charming without being saccharine. It poked delightful fun at itself. It was well cast and adorable. My one complaint? It's left me with fairy tale princess voice. You know the one I mean. The high one with a tendency to flute at the edges. It may drive me to drink. Thank god I'm legal...

Okay, I freely admit, I have sucked at update of late. I've been...busy. Oops. Biggest busy? BSG Con in Burbank last weekend, which was awesome in the ways of awesome. Post on that to come, once I finish gushing over my pics.

But right now what's important is...I DID SOMETHING STUPID. REALLY REALLY STUPID.

No. I'm not pregnant.

I went and saw ( Read more... )

Today was, for the most part, a good day. I got up, I drove out to see Sydney White, I drove home (I killed no one with my car), my copy of Empire of Ivory arrived, and I spent the afternoon reading BW reviews ( Read more... )
