The days are so long and the sky is a weird purpley pink and Rufus Rufus Rufus is singin’ Judy Judy Judy, so what a perfect time to write.
Proudly, I must announce that I am doing very well indeed without the luxuries of cable television. And per usual, when one addiction goes away I quickly [...]

Letting Them Eat Cake.
That Screwy, Ballyhooey Hollywood
Now that I’ve thoroughly depressed you, how about I distract you with the last of my shiny pictures from the City of Angels?
I’m not going to lie - Grauman’s Chinese Theatre kind of stressed me out. A bustling herd of tourists not watching where they are going is kind of a personal nightmare. However, it [...]
Puttin’ on the Ritz
I downed a Sparks a few hours ago, which means that I have the only the slightest of buzzes and will be awake until the crack of dawn. Good one. I just finished watching Without Limits, a biopic about runner Steve PreFontaine, starring Billy Crudup. Billy’s chiseled jaw and promising shirtlessness was what initially [...]
Mozartballs are candy.
Maybe it’s my deep longing for new episodes of the faux-documentary The Office, but I have really been getting into documentaries lately. Here are some of my favorites..
FOR THE LOVE OF DOLLY, Tai Uhlmann’s documentary about people in the throws of intense Dolly Parton fandom. (You can watch it online at Logo’s website!) I don’t want [...]
Oh, American Cinema
Okay, so Kecia and I went to see No Reservations after work today, and whilst stuffing my face with popcorn and truffles, I watched some cute previews…namely…
Disney’s Enchanted
You know what would make this movie funnier? If Mel Brooks did it. I think you’d agree.
Also, THIS tearjearker:
Spidey Spite
Am I the only one who could give a shit about Spiderman?
Seriously.
Who the fuck cares.
you came along to turn on everyone
Remember that one time, when they made a major motion picture about my PAST LIFE?!?!?!
I have conflicting feelings about this film.
Hits:
+ Moulin Rouge was uber-successful, as was Rent, even though that movie was barely watchable and didn’t do an ounce of justice to the broadway show.
+ Um, hello. Bono plays “Dr. Roberts” and Eddie Izzard plays “Mr. [...]
this little light of mine/i will shove it down your throat, praise JESUS!
I saw The Exorcist when I was nine.
I was afraid of the dark for years after that.
I saw 28 Days Later when I was nineteen.
I could not sleep alone for a week.
Thus far in my twenty-some years of movie watching,
these have been the only two films
that have scared the living daylights out of me.
. . . .And [...]

Is it sad that everyone is talking about the new Superman, but really, I want to see The Devil Wears Prada, because I am shamelessly drawn to anything with Anne Hathaway in it? (, I know you are with me on this)…
…Hump Day (my day off) cannot come fast enough. I have not been able [...]

I don’t have cable. Or internet. And sometimes? I just can’t play The Sims 2 without turning my current Sim into a total SimSlut.
In the meantime, I’ve been catching up on some DVDs that I have not been able to spend time with as of yet. Like, would you like to know anything about the history of the broadway musical? Because [...]

I’m an only child.
And when I was younger, I used to ”play pretend,” acting out different movies I saw.
My favorite was running around the house, which I imagined was a giant rainforest, a la Romancing the Stone.
That was my huge-crush-on-Michael-Douglas period.
Sometimes I wonder if Catherine Zeta-Jones went through the same exact thing, and it just, you know…worked out.

“If there’s any kind of magic in this world, it must be in the attempt of understanding someone, sharing something. I know, it’s almost impossible to succeed, but… who cares, really? The answer must be in the attempt.”
– Celine, Before Sunrise, 1995
I bought Before Sunrise on a whim and watched it last night. I quickly became obsessed [...]
While watching <i>Indecent Proposal</i>…
Dear Future Husband:
You’d better damn well believe that I’d sleep with Robert Redford for $1 million free.
You know, just to, uh…get that out of the way.
Love Always,
Jenn.
Once again, justifying Facebook.
So I decided I was going to hit up Blockbuster tonight, maybe grab a bottle of KJ* and get mildly toasted, alone. But what to rent? I’ve been known to wander video stores aimlessly for ridiculously long periods of time. I needed a plan.
So I turned to the Devil Facebook. What would my “friends” suggest?
With 167 “friends” on a list, you need [...]
