I just finished my annual viewing of the George C Scott version of A Christmas Carol.

Oh dear sweet zombie jesus no. no no no no. no. no. no. no.

I love Jay Baruchel, he's totally adorable.

But this movie looks like the worst of Bruckheimer garbage. And Nicholas Cage? Worst actor ever? I happily went about my day, thinking he was put in jail for tax evasion, but nooooooooooo. Why don't they just laminate a large turd on a stick, and then CGI in some expressions later? It would certainly give a better performance.

They just need to have The Shaggs do the soundtrack for The Sorceror's Apprentice, and you'll have one fine film :) :eek:

Just watched How to Steal a Million, a 1966 caper comedy with Peter O'Toole and Audrey Hepburn. I enjoyed it a lot.

But I want Hepburn's car:

That's a old convertible Mini, I believe. Too cute!

No, after research I have found it is a 1965 Autobianchi Eden Roc. Autobianchi was an Italian partnership between Fiat and another company. The inner workings are apparently a Fiat 500 with a new body design.

Apparently only 20,000 or so were made so I'm guessing it would cost me a pretty penny to get one. Somehow the thought of me driving around in a car that looked small around Audrey Hepburn pleases me.

Seven Pounds.....never seemed to get going....boring....knew what was going to happen from the get go.....Hubby fell asleep and didn't miss anything.....thumbs down!

We attempted to watch it and got so bored halfway through we turned it off.

I know Seven Pounds was thoroughly reviled last year but for me it was one of the best movies of 2008. But I recognize I'm almost completely alone in that.

A big difference seems to be that a lot of people who hated it thought the movie was presenting Will Smith as noble whereas I thought it was presenting derangement taken to logical excess. Plus I thought Rosario Dawson was very good in it.

I have it in my Netflix que, someday I'll get to it.
