Woody
Too much, too much... Quickly, in the order I remember watching stuff...
Bachelorette from last week: The fat guy is great. I'd hang out with him.
(Rob, he's just like Cunningham). He busted on the rodeo guy pretty good.
That Russ guy is disturbing, why does she keep him around? Best part was:
Trista says, "I'm here to find a guy who I connect with on all levels, that
I really get along with," Rodeo Retard says, "That's your choice." Um yeah,
you moron, it is... isn't that the point. Now give Cheryl Tiegs her hair
back.
The Pianist: Tough, tough movie. Very, Very good movie. WWII, Poland
Jewish ghettos, Horrible Nazis. After watching it, you'll think humans are
just the worst (we are). Its based on a real guy's life, and its truly
amazing. Roman Polanski directed, and it deserves to be on all those Best
Of lists. When buying tickets, do as I did and say, "2 for the Pen1s." That
will be the last time you laugh for the next 2 hours though. 5 stars of 5.
About a Boy: DVD. Pretty good. As much as I hate Hugh Grant and his stupid
stuttering/stammering buffoonery, he was pretty good in this movie. That
poor kid was good too. 3.5 stars.
Golden Globes: stupid crap. Those people were crying over what?
Adaptation: I loved 75% of this movie. It was fun trying to figure it out,
and Chris Cooper was great. It makes you think about your place in the
world and all that, Nic Cage was good too. Then it got stupid at the end,
I'm not sure why, but it did. I think I think I know why it got stupid (The
fictiional Donal Kaufman "wrote" the final denoument, as it became a
chase/thriller type weird thing) but I'm not sure. Takeaway message: people
who are focused on loving ONe thing are happier than those of us who try to
become well versed in too much. Oh well. 4 stars, I think.
High School Reunion: Boring. They try to put them in bikinis and get them
drunk, but its pretty stupid. The "popular girl' wears bad clothes and
needs her eyebrows waxed or something. The "shy girl' who was in playboy is
pretty, but needs some thigh work. The "player" is a pathetic loser with
man-b00bs. This show gives us nothing, really.
Signs: DVD. I didn't like it. I though M. Night was more creative than
this. They really ARE aliens? They die with water? C'mon. 2.5 Stars.
The Hours: I went to this movie with low expectations. Poor Hoang had to
watch the Pathetic Eagles loss with me, and a pathetic Uconn loss on
saturday as well (I watched monday's pathetic uconn loss alone) so we went.
Wow. Great movie. Great acting. Great writing. Tough and sad, but great.
At the end, 50 other people sat in their seats and just thought for a few
minutes. it is rare that movies do this, as they usually suck. 3 lives are
followed for a day (Virginia Woolf, a 50's housewife, and a 2001
Manhattanite) but they are all intertwined and its good. Trust me. It will
profoundly affect your life for a few minutes at least. Are you happy? Why
not? Are you "living?" Why not? Well done. 5 stars out of 5 and may be
my oscar winner.
Joe Millionaire: Finally, a wasted hour that wasnt so horrible. The
redhead was pretty funny (What would you do with a bad self portrait?) and
his stupidity really showed. Mojo is whitetrash and ugly. Zora is alright,
but why did he keep her? She told him it was the worst date of her life.
Whatever, after the Uconnn last second loss, it was good to watch.
Stupid Eagles.
How does our President honor Martin Luther King Day? By honoring the man who is synonymous with defending the practice of slavery everywhere, and a traitor responsible for untold thousands of American deaths, Jefferson Davis.
New York -- George W. Bush has quietly reinstated a tradition, that his father halted in 1990, of paying homage to the greatest hero of the Confederacy -- Jefferson Davis, TIME's Karen Tumulty and Michael Weisskopf report.
Happy Martin Luther King day everyone, or as they say in the bush White House "The day they honor that there colored fella who done stirred up so much trouble".
