It's gotta be a put-on.

We liked "Frida" somewhat. It was patched-together looking and a
little amateurish, but for the most part very enjoyable and
interesting. At one point, I turned to my wife and said, "She fucked
*Trotsky?!?" Even on the way home, I kept saying, "I just saw Leon
Trotsky having sex." Quite jarring, I must say.

I just stumbled across a 1993 version of the Three Musketeers. Oliver Platt
(sometime White House Counsel on West Wing) as Porthos, Charlie Sheen as
Aramis, and Kiefer Sutherland as Athos. I don't have time to watch it right
now, so I think I'm going to rent it at the next opportunity.

I've never heard of the World Trade Center being reffered to
as The Two Towers. Twin Towers, maybe, and as I heard later, 11,
for the two straight blocks in the skyline.

Getting back to movies...
I'm keeping an eye out for "God is Great (and I'm not)" and "The
Secretary". With a bit of luck I may beat Richard to them by
several weeks just as I did with "Spirited Away".

"God Is Great..." stars Audrey Tautou of "Amelie" fame. That alone
may be a good reason for seeing it.
I think the other movie might be titled "Secretary", not "The Secretary".
And I was serious about "Punch Drunk Love" being a good movie, both
despite and because it stars Adam Sandler. The reason is no doubt that
it was written and directed by the immensely talented Paul Thomas
Anderson ("Boogie Nights", "Magnolia"). If you hurry, you can still
catch it in theaters.

I picked up the book _Bad_Behavior_ at the AADL a week or so ago, specifically
because of the review of "Secretary" I heard on WEMU. Haven't gotten to the
story yet, though. I should set aside _The_Gilded_Chain_ since I'm only
re-reading the ending a week or so after first reading that book and finish
_Bad_Behavior_.

Considering that a T-Bird is co-staring with James Bond this time, I
might want to catch that one, opening this weekend.

Re #185: That's my thinking too, and from the promotions it appears
that she's got the same look, so probably the same director. That
combination is worth a look-see no matter what the film is supposed to be.

Enjoyed "Spirited Away" even though most of the folks I went with thought it
was too cute. I liked it a lot. Was on the edge of my seat just awaiting the
next thing.

I saw "The Transporter" this weekend at the $1 theater. Oh man. Jason
Statham is so hot! The action is fun too.

"The Secretary" was a psychodrama involving a secretary who is
mistreated by her boss, and gets revenge. "Secretary" is a love story
involving a secretary who is mistreated by her boss, and loves it.

"Standing in the Shadows of Motown" will be coming to the Madstone Theatres
(the recently opened "art house" theatres in Briarwood mall) on the 28th or
thereabouts.

I hate your fucking "four times a year" restart. This sucks the balls of an
orangutan. When the fuck do you start the new conference so I don't have to
wade through all this CRAP? (which I have not done, anyway, so Phhhhttt!)

Hey, when you're up and about at 2:30 AM, why *not* wade through it?
You might learn something.

She does have a lot to learn about interacting with people. I bet she is
now considered just another asshole in most users' minds.

She told somebody on mnet that she'd join Grex and cause an uproar
here. I think that was her stab at it. Whatever...
We finally rented Mulholland Drive to find out why everyone we know
hates it so much. We found out. We also rented Murder by Numbers, a
Sandra Bullock vehicle where she plays The Cop With A Tortured Psyche.
Gettin' tired of that character, but the movie was mostly watchable.

Well, "Mulholland Drive" is one of my favorite movies of the last
several years. Seen it twice, will probably watch it again sometime.
For what it's worth. You may call me weird if you wish.

Hell no. My "taste" in movies, such as it is, runs to farcical
comedies and the like. Listen to him, not me, folks.

Liked "Far From Heaven". The story is secondary to
the flawless 50's style.
