alright, ok.
someone (anonymous??.. we're all friends here) recently called me out on the fact that i suck, and i'm lucky if i get to update this here blog once a week. well, sorry. anyway, here's some updates....
... i saw "house of flying daggers".. it's fantastic. if you're looking for a tight narrative and some slick dialogue, stay home. if you want to see some beautiful photography and kick-ass fight scenes, go see it.
..."in good company"... i'm officially a topher grace fan. "that 70's show" isn't exactly setting the world on fire with writing, but it's funny enough to watch when it's on. and in this movie, he just comes off as a likable guy. i've read the tom hanks comarisons (why is the press always looking for the next tom hanks?.. .is there something wrong with the current tom hanks?), and they're not unfounded. i guess we'll just have to wait and see where he goes from here. but it's good stuff. and scarlett johansson...it's just getting silly how gorgeous that girl is. though i'm wary of her decision to star in a michael bay movie about clones...i mean, i'll still go... but michael bay?
...it seems like every magazine i've opened up in the past month has an article about conor oberst, or mos def's acting career, or both. now mos def, i can tolerate. he's not my favorite, not by a long shot. but i like the black star album. i think my aversion to his acting career is similar to how people feel about certain words in the english language (i've known people who hate the words "slough", and "moist"... i myself cringe every time i hear the words "winningest" and "smoothie")... there's no real reason, it just doesn't sit right with me. and conor oberst. i don't know a whole ton of bright eyes material, but somehow everything that kid says makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up. i mean, i respect the upstart nature of his career... putting out records, playing for no money. maybe it's just that picture i saw of him on stage with the boss and michael stipe. or maybe it's the fact that he got to smooch winona ryder. ok, fine... i'm just jealous, and i'll probably have a bright eyes album in a few weeks.

The problem with Tom Hanks it that he will one day die. And we must find his replacement, because science can only keep the man alive and charming for so long. Has Johnny Carson taught you nothing? My God man, we must prepare for the future, a Tom Hanks-less future.

There's also the whole Meg Ryan incident. Let's not forget that. And both were in Joe Vs. The Volcano- so- Hanks is infected.

You know what word I've realized sets my hair on end? "Yummy". Especially when not in reference to food, but it always makes me grind my teeth. Reminds me of the sick feeling I got whenever I heard "Hey, it's Bill. Let's go see Big Momma's House".
Because your hopes of 'gaying it up with the head film columnist of the Beacon Hill Chronicle' were dashed when you realized I was heterosexual and you... were alone?

A lot of it was because when I heard that phrase it wasn't over the phone, but with you perched on the edge of my bed at 4 in the morning, shirtless and wearing angel wings. Thank God you gave up tequila.
It's Mike's fault! He doesn't email me privately to make fun of me anymore- All the ghost-hooey is going to his head.
