2010 Hobby: Weeks 7 & 8
Nine movies over 2 weeks. My pace is slipping! Here’s a rundown:
The Spirit
Avatar
Napoleon Dynamite
Lolita (1962)
Shutter Island
Ratatouille
Punch Drunk Love
Synecdoche, New York
There Will Be Blood
The Spirit and Napoleon Dynamite were pure ridiculousness, though of different types. I have to believe that the makers of the Spirit were aware of exactly what they were doing and the...
Dear Battlestar Galactica...
I don’t care how much of a nerd it makes me to watch and love you and publicly state it. Damn, you are one fine television programme.
“Listen Paul, if I go all the way up there and I find that you’ve been...”
– -There Will Be Blood.
Is it strange how much I enjoy that some of the characters have the same name as the actor that plays them?

I have decided...
…that the one thing I need right now is a robe. Where does one go to buy a robe?

Also, sentence structure is fun!
Why do I keep checking my email when there is no one in the world awake to send me anything?
Because that way I don’t have to get out of bed! Thank goodness for laptops!
UPDATE: The sound of rain outside isn’t helping. Damn it mornings! Why do you have to suck so hard?

FME (For My Edification)
I have been taking pictures the last few days, but I can’t get them off my cell phone. It still counts though!
Any doctors out there want to write me a note saying I require at least 1 nap during the course of the day?

Do you have an answer for theandrewroot?
It seems to me...
…that people either apologize too much or not enough. Whatever became of the artistry of the apology?
Just a thought.

Last one, I promise.
Leslie: Wow! Really good, Jerry.
Jerry: For my murinal, I was inspired by the death of my grandma. She-
Tom: You said ‘murinal.’
Jerry: No, I didn’t.
Ann: Yes, you did! You said ‘murinal,’ I heard it!
Jerry: Anyway, she-
April: Hey Jerry! Why don’t you put that MURINAL in the mens room so people can MURINATE all over it!
Tom: Jerry! Go to the doctor!...

Such a good night
Good morning, wine hangover. I hope a cup of tea and the first two seasons of Parks & Recreation make you go away. Also, you are making it difficult to spell the word “the” correctly on teh first try…

TGIF
4 hours of sleep, 3 hours of teaching, 1 hour of set painting, 1 hour of waiting in the cold for a bus.
My body is falling apart. I refuse to move for the next hour.

Andrew's Awesome Remixes
I was never a fan of remixes growing up. It always seemed that a different drum beat was put behind a song that was fine the way it was in the first place. What exactly was the point? I guess someone’s got to keep Funkstar De Luxe and Fatboy Slim in low-riders.
But I have found myself listening to a handful of really great remixes lately which actually take the existing song and do...

2010 Hobby: Week 6
A respectable 5 films this week, including one of my personal favourites. Here’s the rundown:
Ellie Parker
Othello (1965)
Shakespeare in Love
The Dark Knight
Confessions of a Dangerous Mind
Ellie Parker is an old favourite with a semi-pre-fame Naomi Watts. Some of the acting scenes are painfully accurate. Laurence Olivier’s Othello was selected because I realized I had a backlog...
