I saw the new Potter film last night, and I really enjoyed it. Tragic death aside, it's largely a heartwarming picture and affirmation of the human spirit. Renee Zellweger and Ewan McGregor continue to work well together.

Oh, and there're cute bunnies!

I fully believe that the United States was behind the attack on the United States five years ago. I have believed this for several years, even though it was against the grain of yellow journalism and mindless patriotism to believe so ( Read more... )

Here are some of the things we've been doing in our "free" time:
( Free Time )

I watched the movie Boiler Room for the first time only a few months ago, and I thought it was excellent. I never thought I would be in the position to live it until yesterday, when I interviewed with a company called American Income Life.

This is a bit long, but it's worth it.

The remake parade continues.

Many of you are aware of my solemn vow not to patronize movies that are remakes of other movies or movie adaptations of old teevee shows, so I thought I'd compile a small list of movies that fit the description.

Ladies and gentlemen, I have seen brilliance, and its name is Network. The movie is a revelation. I've known about the famous "I'm mad as hell" quote for years and years, but to see it in context, to watch it heat up to its feverish boiling point, was an absolute miracle for ( Read more... )

I think that last night we had more people under our roof at one time than we ever had, and it was lots o'fun. In no particular order: Stacy, Doni, Steve, Charmaine, Kat, Jason, Howard, Nan, Marti, Paul Giamatti's Head, and myself. It was a kind of impromptu get-together, but it eventually involved Chinese and Italian food deliveries, Scene-It, ( Read more... )

I did lots of stuff this weekend.

After work on Satyrday, I watched a movie with _chandra, George, and marcusdkat that contained many references to feces, incest, vomit, and acts of sin so incredible it would scar my journal recording them all. It starred over a hundred of your favorite comedians, from George Carlin, Sarah Silverman, and Gilbert Gottfried, to ( Read more... )
