So I saw Star Trek today.

From an article about the next movie in the Twilight series:
In addition to New Moon, [Dakota] Fanning and [Kristen] Stewart will team up on the The Runaways [sic], a drama following the all-girl punk band of the same name. Stewart plays Joan Jett in the film, while Fanning plays lead singer Cherie Currie.

That... um... Well, let's just stick with ( Read more... )

So Max and I are thinking of having an Oscar party, for which we want to make a pun-tastic menu (because we like the idea of doing something cheesy), based on the pictures nominated for awards. Here's what we have thus far ( Read more... )

I have no problem with Keanu Reeves, but the idea of casting him as Spike Spiegel in a Cowboy Bebop movie makes me sad for the following reasons:
- He is too old.
- He doesn't have the body type.
- Keanu with a fro would not look right.

Hey, look who it is. Me! I have been virtually MIA for a little while, what with finals, attending the low residency program stuff at school, driving back to LA, and of course the holidays.

( Review of Cloverfield )

- I just talked to Julie from work. I'm supposed to go in and get my materials for next week. Just for clarification, I asked her about my schedule, and she suddenly informed me that my schedule has changed! Ugh. I don't like these surprises. Now, I'm teaching PSAT I in Arcadia on M/W and EEP 3 in Temple City on T/Th/F. That means two different ( Read more... )

I saw Juno tonight. It was cute, and I laughed. I was miffed that the use of "Anybody Else but You" at the end omitted several verses, but whatevs. The rest of this review will be under a cut because some people yell at me for giving spoilers when I'm not actually spoiling anything. I think some people just want to give me crap at any possible ( Read more... )
