"We are way past where Jesus lost his sandals."
1) I'm on a psuedo vacation in central Oregon right now, so sorry for my lousy flisting lately. Hopefully I'll catch up a little bit when I get home tomorrow.
2) I saw M. Night Shaymalan's The Happening. I was not impressed. The story was decent, I just didn't love the execution. What's interesting, though, is the fact that his dialog still blows me away at times. Even if Mark Wahlberg and Zooey Deschanel did not do the best acting jobs. Take this, for example:
"Do you remember our first date? You were so quiet."
"You bought me the mood ring."
"It turned purple when you wore it."
"Then you said "that means you're in love".
"Got you to talk, didn't it?"
"But then we checked the little paper chart and it turned out that it meant that I was horny. You loved that."
"I had no idea."
"Yours was blue. Peaceful, right?"
"Right."
"What color was love?"
"I don't remember."
"Me neither."
That exchange kind of floored me. M. Night Shaymalan, please to be writing not-thrillers soon. You could kick ass with regular drama!
Anyway. The start of the movie discussed the disappearance of bees. I spent the rest of the movie half expecting David Tennant to pop up and save the day. I'm seriously considering the possibility that it was totally the Doctor who solved everything, as it was never really explained. ;)
Also. When they hid in the model home? I turned to my sister and said, "The Bluths!" and it was amazing. (They didn't check the attic! I bet you Michael and George Michael were up there!)
And I could hardly recognize Spencer Breslin. He's changed so much! Also, he got totally shot in the movie. It made me sad. But a metaphor for his acting career, anyone? Poor guy is getting totally overshadowed by his little sister!
3) I caught a couple of Bones reruns on TNT tonight. I forgot how amazing S1 was! Seriously. Hart, please bring Goodman back for a guest appearance ASAP. I miss his hilarious sarcasm. Tamara Taylor is great and all, but no one on that show could ever do dry wit like Jonathan Adams.
