Pajiba just reminded me that we're more than halfway through the year, and it's time to reflect back on the movies of 2008. So far, it's been a pretty good year. The movies that I've loved, I've loved, there were only a couple that were disappointing ('Leatherheads' and 'Hancock'), and I've only seen one that made me think "wtf is this shit?"

Saw 'Forgetting Sarah Marshall' tonight, and adored it. It's the kind of project that Apatow should continue focusing on: raunchy, hilarious stories that also manage to be sweet and full of heart, that are simultaneously ridiculous and true. In this case, of course, that mostly comes down to my boy Jason Segel, who wrote the script (and it says ( Read more... )

Dear 4 AM,

It's not that I dislike you. Really. We've had fun - remember that time we watched Hiding Out on TBS? That was awesome ( Read more... )

Went to see 'Atonement' today. To be honest, the previews had left me curiously underwhelmed, so I wasn't expecting a whole lot from it. Which turned out to be perfect, because I didn't get a whole lot ( Read more... )

I support the WGA's strike 100%, I really do. It's bullshit what's going on, and I hope the big bosses eventually realize that. This does not mean, however, that I'm not saddened and pissed off about my favorite shows going off the air. I mean, really, while technically I want things to get settled so that writers can get the royalties/etc they ( Read more... )

Lyla says she doesn't think Jason thinks about her life, and that he even thinks it's "lame" that she has these concerns. That "lame" kills me; so exactly how people almost always have to resort to imperfect and inarticulate language when trying to discuss major issues like "life."
Two things ( Read more... )

Wow, so I kind of hate Television Without Pity's redesign.

IT'S 'UTMOST,' NOT 'UPMOST ( Read more... )

TWoP has started recapping 'The Office' and, seriously, it's not working. Sure, the show is brilliantly written, but its real success is in the performances, and...yeah, it just doesn't work as well. I mean, I don't care how witty the recappers are, they're still not going to be as witty as the writers of 'The Office.' Eh.

It makes me so sad that the scariest (recently-made) thing I've watched lately was the "Blink" episode of Doctor Who*.

I just got finished watch Pulse. I picked it up despite remembering pretty tepid reviews, because I thought the concept was cool. Ghosts who can come through wi-fi? Who use cell phones and computers as portals? It has a ton of ( Read more... )
