I put in my contact lenses today for the first time since...well...probably Alice in Wonderland. It's pretty impressive.

Is there anybody here I might be able to convince to go see 1408 with me? It got three stars out of four in the review I read...it should be good! It's a horror movie but not super scary, I guess; it's based on a short story ( Read more... )
