In the next week or so, I'll be making two or three huge posts (top 20 movies of the year, top 10 movies i want to see this fall, emmy picks), so i'll keep this one short and sweet.

I think my favorite Shakespeare play on the screen is Macbeth.  I'm watching Polanski's adaptation and it's moving pretty quickly.  I don't know whether it's because I ( Read more... )

I kind of hate Spin Magazine.  I like reading some of it, but then again there are so many things that I hate.  The thing I hate most is their reviews, though.  I just bought the new Talib Kweli album, Eardrum and am pretty impressed with the quality of it.  Not unlike Kweli, it's a really well made album.  Spin says as much: they like the guests ( ( Read more... )

I have no idea when summer is officially over, but when it is I'm going to make a mix cd of the best music I bought this summer.

One of the tracks on that disc is going to be, without a doubt, UGK's Int'l Players Anthm (I Choose You).  Jesus, that's a great, great song.  Outkast guest raps on this track and just murders it.  In the good street way, ( Read more... )

Also...on the Kazaam front, one of the imdb keywords is "magical negro."

I'm a little bit tickled that the phrase used in this situation is "magical negro" as it is certainly used with minimal malice, but at the same time...Magical negro???

Discuss.

Wait wait wait...

You're telling me that Weevil from Veronica Mars is...the kid from KAZAAM???

It feels like Gordon Brown isn't going to take any crap from Mr. Bush.  I think this is a really good thing.

I watched Zodiac last night with my parents and finished by myself because they had to go back to our house (I was pet-watching in Clarksburg...a nowhere town on the border of MoCo and Frederick County.  Let's just say that Frommer's isn' going to waste much time on Clarksburg.)  To say that it is a long movie is a bit of an understatement, as it ( Read more... )

I watched the Don Bluth, animated Anastasia this morning. Big mistake. Within the first 5 minutes, I was furious. The story goes, according to this animated piece of trash, that the Romanov's were this wonderful, benevolent ruling body that fulfilled all of the hopes and dreams of the Russian people. That is until the EEEEEEEVIL Rasputin comes ( Read more... )

I was going to write a running diary while watching the 5-hour-long 1900 but since I don't have a laptop mouse anymore, I lost my entry...again.

So I just downloaded Semagic. This shouldn't happen ever, ever again.

Good times.

I just read on Dark Horizons that Desperate Housewives is adding Dana Delaney to the cast.  I thoroughly enjoyed watching the first season on dvd and even liked the ridiculous second season.  I got lost after Jackie  got shot dead in a grocers.  I don't know who killed Orson's wife or wives...I just don't know.  (Anybody willing to shed some light ( Read more... )
