Sick, Movies
Jake Jake Jake JakeJake has two dogs: a German Shepherd named "Atticus" and a Puggle named "Boo Radley"...
I LOVE that!
Sick wid It
I'm going to be completely forward here. I'm amazed by what comes out of your body when you're sick. I feel a definite sense of accomplishment when I am able to hack out more than a few ml's of thick, disgusting, green, squishy phlegm that was once clogging my air passages. When I see it floating in the toilet water or smattered against a carefully held napkin, I'm like, "Hell yeah! I got you out, bitch!" Accomplishment. I achieved something. And that something made me healthier.
Movies with Spoiling ReviewsBorat
Wacky. Laugh out loud hilarious. Yes yes yes, it was outrageous. Quite honestly, I think Borat is just a very different approach to addressing the race, nationality, and ethnicity issues highlighted in Crash. In essence, it's just tailored for a different audience, but the "content" is all the same and just as true as when Haggis wrote it. (More on Haggis soon.)
I can't believe that with all the people who have talked to me about their feelings on Borat, no one warned me about the insane fucking nude scene between Borat and Azamat. Before settling down to watch the movie with Andrew, I was just barely getting my voice back. When Borat graced the screen with a long black censor box dangling from his pelvis, I think my voice took a hike.
Happy Feet
Happy Feet has got to be one of the fucking craziest methods for expression of social commentary that I have ever seen - and I completed two majors in Communication and Ethnic Studies. I had no idea it would be so deep! It got all environmental and it had human figures interlaced into the animation and... And yet, it makes me want to Karaoke to "Boogie Wonderland" and do sideways bodyrolls at the same time. Such a surprise. It likened humans to aliens as part of a fish-obliterating conspiracy, a mention of foreign xenophobia, and an overall coming-of-age plot that's structurally the same as any tale about parents raising a retarded, homosexual, or deformed child. Good effort! Though I dare say, a bit ambitious...
Maybe March of the Penguins really was tied into its production...
I loved the music. The soundtrack is fun. It's full of covers of classic oldies done by Warners Brothers-approved pop artists. I must say, though, the cast - as fine and dandy as it is - seems brought down by the selection of Brittany Murphy. I don't mind Brittany Murphy. I think she was freakishly skinny in Uptown Girls (Yes, I saw it.), but she's not a starlet I particularly mind. She's also not a starlet who can particularly sing blues. If you're gonna make a cute girl penguin, name her Gloria, and expect her to represent the entire penguin graduating class of Novemburrr 2006 through the song of blue, for the love of god, choose Christina Aguilera or something. She really kinda dampens the soundtrack - A soundtrack that could be really amazing and sell millions of copies, if someone just had the wise thought of casting a voice who can really carry that soul. For some reason it seems like Gloria's mic just isn't on throughout the entire movie. Disappointing in that regard, but fun otherwise! I especially loved Lovelace's extra tubbiness. (Stay for the credits.) And now I understand why I haven't come across any press about PETA fuming around the six-pack plastic hanging 'round his neck.
Casino Royale
I'm not particularly impressed by Daniel Craig as the new Bond. He just doesn't have the sleek look that Sean or Pierce had. In fact, he looks quite gruff. Compared to the other two, he's quite the bulldog. But Judi Dench is a female badass with a British accent. And I want the eggplant-colored dress and Versace sunglasses that Eva Green wears in the movie. And all that money. I had no idea poker tables had physical denominations other than chips. Thanks to Casino Royale, we've all been allowed a seat to the world's most exclusive poker table underground.
For a moment, I was infuriated with betrayal that the article I read about Casino Royale lied - that Vesper Lynd really wouldn't end up breaking 007's heart. When she said "You can have me anywhere. Here. There. Anywhere you like." I was so pissed! "No, she's supposed to be the hardass! I don't want to hear about romance right now! I want to know that she for sure and definitely breaks his heart!" But I must say I was relieved in the end. She does break his heart. And that explains why he continues to be such a womanizer. Thank god. He shouldn't be getting attached in his line of work anyway.
I want to be a mogul.Vikrum: oh, so a clear rejection of the cuddling
Vikrum: NOTED.
Why can't they all be like that? :)
YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME. The Kenneth Cole Belt It Out slingbacks that I've been hawking since August are no longer online! Augh!
...Okay, problem solved. I just ordered them from Beverly Hills. :X Apparently the Belt It Outs were a "test shoe" that was only distributed to the higher-end KC stores. They sold like hot cakes but didn't get restocked. I guess I got exclusive steez.
Chelsea got a bruise on her thumb.
Maybe it's from one of the two times she fell on her ass. The Aura is clearly bad.
I LOVE that!
