Where was I before I was so rudely interrupted by gaping facial wounds? Ah yes.

Dreamer: Inspired by a True Story-- Remember those 50 cent family movies I was talking about? Anna picked this one last Monday. It wasn't too bad but it wasn't great, either. The characters seemed more real than your average feel-good family movie even if the plot

Funny you should mention! I haven't seen either the BBC mini series or the movie but a couple of weeks ago one of my neighbors told me that they were watching the mini series and they remarked to each other that I look a lot like Elizabeth, played by Jennifer Ehle! I'm not so sure of the comparison, but with that kind of flattery, how could I not add it to my Netflix queue right away?

Hollywood does the old switcharoo on us so often that I was just relieved it wasn't Cameron Diaz as "The Last Geisha" or other nonsense, really! Sure it would have been nice to have the entire movie cast be unknowns so that I could get into the movie more (rather than half expect Michelle Yeoh and co. to start jumping around roof-tops and beating the crap out of each other) but I've learned not to expect too much from those Hollywood grass fuckers, as my buddy the Filthy Critic calls them.

just saw Brokeback Mountain. You don't want India seeing it. The sex was't that offensive but the violence, what there was of it, was brutal and would be difficult to explain.
