Checked out The Money Pit with Tom Hanks and Shelly Long. Still funny. Looking back at Tom Hanks' early movies, plus Bosom Buddies, it's hard to believe he'd go on to win two Oscars.

But then again we're supposed to laugh when they call someone a fag or whatever in a comedy. Our society is fucked up.

I think it looks bad when a film has to constantly resort to any slurs for humor. But that's Hollywood, and our society, both are fucked up.

I just thought it fell flat. I also figured out that Vince Vaughn is irritating.

Feed with Alex O'Loughlin. That was kink to a creeptastic level, but dayum is Alex fine naked.

Riding on the bus with my sister. It's got Rosie O'Donnel playing a "special" person and her performance just might be the worst thing I've ever seen. She sounds like that guy in the Police Academy movies with the voice modulation problem. I couldn't finish it, it was so incredibly awful.

Syriana. Still hating the fingernail scene. Fucking ouch!

lol may i ask why you were even watching it in the first place?

yanna · December 22nd, 2007, 08:08 AM

^ My dad and his wife rented it. He saw Andie McDowell is in it and he liked her in Green Card. I think they thought it was a romantic comedy. We were watching it at dinner which is not the best time to be watching anything with Rosie O'Donnel in it.

lol oh man that sounds painful. i'm surprised they even rent it in europe. i thought it was some made-for-tv piece of crap and that it would never, ever make its way across the pond. guess i was wrong.

White Christmas. Der Bingle may have been a class A asshole, but his voice almost makes me wish I had been around for a mid-20th century Christmas.

I just saw I Am Legend. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

At the movies, it's been a while. It was either Waitress or Sicko. The other day I watched "My Fair Lady" really early in the morning. I typically get up around 5-6 but if I wake up earlier I can invariably find a good old movie on-or "Good Times." How many orange outfits did Florida own? Was it part of the Florida orange lobby?

Don't know how many times I have seen it in my life (a lot) but those two little girls stilll scare the crap out of me. "Come and play with us, Danny!"

Blow with Johnny Depp.

All terrific performances. Only JD can look pretty in a white leisure suit. Once again, I find him so compelling to watch. It had a Goodfellas feeling to it. Great art direction in that every decade looked real. I was very impressed with Rachel Griffiths and Ray Liotta as his parents. Griffiths is five years younger than JD and Liotta is nine years older, yet they more than managed to convince me that they were his parents with their acting and body language, without aging makeup until they were senior citizens.

^I LOVE Blow. It had so many great lines in it, and Johnny was just perfect for the role. I loved all his monologues. I'm also a Ray Liotta fan, he rocks.

I watched Grease for the first time, ever.

yanna · December 23rd, 2007, 03:32 AM

^Ooh! I love Ray Liotta too! I was always waiting for his career to take off after Goodfellas but it never did! I've seen bits and pieces of Blow and I think I liked it but should really watch it properly some day.

went to see elizabeth: the golden age last night. what can i say? it's totally different from the first one so if you're expecting a 'serious' historical film, don't bother. this one is more like highbrow camp - very over the top and kind of a tongue-in-cheek bodice-ripping romance at times, historical opera at others. i think the reason it got panned by so many critics is that it's not obviously camp - in fact i think it could have gone even further in that direction - so i think a lot of people won't get that and think it's just a crappy historical film.
overall it's still thoroughly entertaining, great acting (cate blanchett is sublime, as always), incredible costumes - they are historically accurate but futuristic at the same time with a bit of glam rock thrown in (clive owen's pirate costume is totally glam rock and cate channels david bowie at times).
