A hot looking dwarf... Who knew!

Love it, but I object to there being a hot-looking dwarf. Find me anyone (JW excluded) who pictured any of the dwarfs as HOT when first reading The Hobbit.

I first read the Hobbit when I was 9 or 10. I don't think I pictured anybody (in books or real life) as hot.

A strong recommendation for "Midnight in Paris." It was not lazy Woody, and it made me do something I did not think possible: enjoy a full movie of Owen Wilson. Plus, say what you will about Inception-like movies, this movie had the biggest surprise that I actually gave a sh*t about in some time.

Plus Marion Cotillard at her most Marion Cotillardish.

Given everything we tend to know about the lives of the people we dub heros of one sort or another, I'm not sure I totally buy the premise--or at least that I would act as starry-eyed as Wilson's character did--but it was a charming ride.

I enjoyed it as well. What was the surprise?

The boy, teenager, actually said he want to see the new Pooh movie with me and in the theater! I am so excited and thoroughly shocked!

Spoiler:
That the protagonist did not end up marrying the unpleasant person he went to Europe with.


No, seriously, it was

Spoiler:
you know. The thing. For her. Perhaps I should have seen it coming, but I didn't.

Ok, I'm sure I'm having a brain fart but I still don't know what you're talking about.

Spoiler:
When they went to la belle epoque for her. Didn't see it coming and given how old and past it everyone was in that era, it seemed a fitting conclusion to her romantic misadventures in the 20s.

A strong recommend for Mother (available on Netflix streaming).

I really do think that South Korean cinema industry may be the best one out there. Something in the water must give them all a delightful sense of the bizarre and hyper-real.
