Gotta love it.

I think I've finally hit the wall. I was wondering if this could ever happen w/a blog; the answer's obviously, yes. Nothing exciting today; aside from the fact that it's the first day of summer (and buy one burrito, get one free day @ Chipotle, WOO-HOO!!!), it's simply another Tuesday. That by default makes it better than any Monday in recorded history. The rest of the week is just as bland. I saw four movies this past weekend.

Batman Begins--****:
In a word, GREAT! The casting, perfect. The plot, believeable. The setting, dark and gritty. The batmobile, blah! Hey, it's not perfect, but it's damn close.

Bad Education--***:
Pedro Almodovar CANNOT make a bad film. A movie like this isn't everyone's cup of tea (religous hypocrisy, homosexuality, murder, pedophilia, transsexuality), but touchy subjects is where Almodovar shines! I was really impressed by Gael García Bernal...I've only seen him in "Y Tu Mama Tambien"; it's good to see him as something other than a horny, curious teenage kid...

The Honeymooners--**:
Wow! Words escape me. I'll say this. "The Flinstones" is based off of "The Honeymooners"; I'd rather watch EVERY cheesey Flinstones holiday special than watch this movie again. The funniest characters were Norton (Mike Epps) and Dodge (John Leguizamo), other than that, wait for the rental.

Napoleon Dynamite--****:
Wow! Why did I wait so long to watch this movie??? There were parts that I rewound and watched several times over!!! The makers of this film did an excellent job conveying the angst and attitude of not just high school, but a nerd, geek or spaz in high school. Funny stuff!
Vote for Pedro!!!

Damn.     Sent to you by tony via Google Reader:     R.I.P. Etta James Dead At 73, Loses Battle With Leukemia via Bossip by Bossip Staff on 1/20/12 R.I.P. Etta James, whose assertive, earthy voice lit up such hits as "The Wallflower," "Something's Got a Hold on Me" and the wedding favorite "At Last," has died, according to her longtime friend and manager, Lupe De Leon. She was 73. She died from complications from leukemia with her husband, Artis Mills, and her sons by her side, De Leon said.

Is it me or is she getting better looking?

Here's a new clip from Wanted , which is partly stuff that was already in the movie's trailer. But it gives a bit more detail on exactly how Angelina Jolie manages to drive a car while being splayed out on the hood and shooting at a truck. And in case you were still in doubt that this will be a very, very cartoony movie, wonder no longer. [ MTV Movies ] Jolie also posed for the latest cover of Vanity Fair . It's not really a spoiler, but here it is anyway: View Original Article Pulse...quickening...hard...to look away... Damn you io9 , it's very hard to get any work done with distractions like this. I hate you Brad Pitt, you lucky sumbitch! But seriously, I rented Midnight Cowboy a few weeks back and came to a very disturbing epiphany; Ms. Jolie looks EXACTLY like her daddy (Jon Voight)! I mean, the eyes and the lips are his! Everything else is her mama, but not the face; the features work much better on her, that's for sure. http://www.wantedmovie.com/ Blog...
