OMG, Zac's so young ... he's almost not even my type anymore!

I thought Stardust was pretty good also. A great fun ride, a huge fairytale show with just enough special effects and originality to make it "new". And the music almost made it epic. I enjoyed just about every minute of it.

Still, there was something about it that almost said "Made for TV" to me. Not sure what it was, perhaps it had that Hallmark sappy quality or something.

Well, I didn't end up seeing Stardust over the weekend. Next stop, Netflix. Sorry, Stardust.


Thanks for the heads-up on HSM, Babette. As GC said, it does indeed have a much better message than the sequel. So even with much worse choreography and Zac not having the services of his personal trainer yet, I liked it waaaay better than High School Musical 2.


I think the message for school age kids to live outside your peer-pressure box is hugely valuable. If you like to bake or sing or hip-hop dance, do it!


It was a much less generic moral than the sequel's cliche of don't-let-your-bigheadedness-ruin-your-friendships. Snore. So what if Zac was hotter in the second one?



(And, yeah, GC, his Dad was HOT in the original. Did they change dads or something??)

Not sure. I haven't seen 2.
:)

Rumors are circulating that Owen Wilson tried to kill himself this weekend.
That's so sad if it's true.
:(

Hollywood has officially lost all semblence of originality. The lastest in the endless remake news is Keanu Reeves starring as Klatu in a remake of The Day the Earth Stood Still.



I wonder what the remakes of Star Wars and 2001: A Space Odyssey will look like in a couple of decades??

Zac Efron as Luke Skywalker? Hannah Montana as Leia?

But who will play HAL?

Ben Stein?

Please - somebody buy or rent the DVD of David Lynch's Inland Empire. I loved it and want to discuss it here, but I'm not ready to either pontificate or deliver a monologue.

(I guess you could always drop by La Casa de Mousepod in a couple of weeks and I'll inflict the whole 3 hours on ya...)
