Swoon.

I'm absolutely going to see Sherlock Holmes now!

The Secret to the Success of Life



Tim Travis: What am I going to do for the rest of my life? All of a sudden it matters.
Penny Travis: Well, Tim, the secret to the success of life is to find something you love. Is there something that you love?
Penny Travis: Good. And you have to do that for the rest of your life. And you'd better hope to hell that you're good at it, because if you're not you'll probably fail.
Tim Travis: How do you know if you're good at it?
Penny Travis: How do you know if you're good at it...
Penny Travis: People tell you.

Movies


In the last couple of weeks I saw 3 movies in Theater.
Alone? Why yes, I was.
This isn't abnormal for me,
just a product of my fierce independence.

1. G.I. Joe.
Channing Tatum was in it, that was my 6 bucks right there. $6? Yeah, it was matinée! JGL was in it for like 2.5 seconds before he was abominably unrecognizable. Total buzz kill. Other than that, the action was good. And I hate action movies.

2. The Goods.
What a waste of life. Seriously, there are only so many "comedies" that can make fun of strippers and boy bands. I love Jeremy Piven and not even he could save this movie.

3. Bandslam.
I read a review online about how this movie was badly marketed. This is the only reason I went to see it. And guess what? This movie was badly marketed. Badly is even an understatement. Bandslam (originally titled Will) is a lot more Charlie Bartlett meets School of Rock than its HSM persona. Children wouldn't understand half of the references in this film. J'adored it though. Surprisingly, it was quirky and cute.

Friday, I'm seeing Post Grad. With or without company. ;o)

Alice in Wonderland ♥

"There's no use trying," she said. "One can't believe impossible things." "I daresay you haven't had much practice," said the Queen. "When I was your age, I always did it half an hour a day. Why, sometimes, I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast." - Lewis Carroll

..Come again?


Zooey Deschanel and Bones are sisters??
Who knew!

Crash


"It's the sense of touch. In any real city, you walk, you know? You brush past people, people bump into you. [In this city], nobody touches you. We're always behind this metal and glass. I think we miss that touch so much that we crash into each other, just so we can feel something."

Finally!

I saw it. And it was great.
Exceeded expectations . .
. . By far.

iLove [JM & JGL edition]


Today has just been full of goodness.

First, I wake up to a live stream of John Mayer's radio show.

And now.. a JGL podcast.

My inner dweeb is having a very good day.

I love Disney movies! They teach great lessons but they're so innocent (as should be, I suppose); especially Pocahontas and Mulan. These two movies are actually based on true events but the tales are so watered down. I know, I know, it's Disney! What should I expect? But the movies are so altered from reality it paints a fictitious history. Mulan, for instance is very americanized since her name is actually Fu Mu Lan. And she was a brutal warrior who carved the names of her enemies on her back. It's pretty sick actually. Love her! And jeez louise, Pocahontas and John Smith? They never got together! ..They never even met! That's Disney for ya. Sorry to burst your bubble. Either way, it's nice to see an array on ethnicities added to their credentials of Princesses/Heroines. In that area: A+.
