    Why is it so bloody hard ..

    I do love arrested development. I hope it comes out on dvd, as I never get to see it these days.

    I just finished reading...

    Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrel I just finished Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrel. That one certainly took me awhile, but I am glad that I made the investment. I thought it was really good, but not great. Unfortunately I can’t quite put my finger on why this is. If I come up with something...

    Daphne du Maurier: Rebecca

    Rebeccas Tale Someone gave me Rebecca's Tale, but I've never read it. Don't think I will either.

    Daphne du Maurier: Rebecca

    Rebecca I adored Rebecca. I will admit that I didn’t have high hopes for it when my roommate insisted I read it – but wow, I was won over pretty darn quickly! I think Maya uses the term ‘brilliant’ appropriately. The language and imagery are just so beautiful and vivid. And the main...

    Ha! yeah, try collingwood and maybe drawning mona. I like Big Leboski quite a bit as well. And amelie and Wag the dog.

    Supersize Me

    I enjoyed the movie. I haven't eaten McD's in years (and then I was stuck on a road trip with guy friends who will eat anything), and the film certainly reinforced my previous beliefs. I think most of the movie's naysayers haven't watched the film. Yes, we all know eating McD's ain't good...

    If you didn't like Zoolander, these might be a miss as well: Dodgeball Old School Drowning Mona (greatly under-rated) Oh brother, where art thou (if you like George CLooney) Welcome to Collingwood (again, clooney does crime caper) Wet Hot American Summer (just good stupid fun) hope...

    I suppose I can forgive you this once, Jay. But lets not let is happen again, hmmm.? ;) I haven't read confessions, but I did read Lost and Mirror Mirror. Mirror was the fairy tale theme again (snow white) and was quite disappointing. Lost was completely different and, well, just plain weird.

    Yeah, there are a few on the album that I like. Just not as solid a project as those in the past. I blame Rene. :)

    You just made my day! Not only do I love Wes Anderson (Tennenbaums is my fave, as well) but Roald Dahl as well. How exciting!

    Bill Murray DOES rock, graydaisy! As do Owen Wilson, Willem Dafoe and Wes Anderson. If you've liked Wes's other flicks, you'll likely get a kick out of this one. But it's definitely not his strongest film - so if you're not a fan, you might not dig it.

    I know I saw the first Matrix, and i think the third one (though wasn't my choice). I found them annoying and the acting was horrible (with the exception of Fishburne, of course). And yes, Equilibrium wasn't a great movie, but I liked it better than Matrix.

    I hated the Matrix, but didn't mind this.

    Bale I'm glad to hear this, Martin. There's another movie I really like him in, but I can never remember the name of it. I think it’s called Equilibrium. It was surprisingly good (despite his Keanu-esque tendencies).
