I knew that would make your day. :D

That was so hard to watch!

Haven't seen Milk yet but just watched The Times of Harvey Milk, which blew me away. I knew nothing about him and now feel alternately inspired beyond belief and shocked at the circumstances of his death. It's hard to believe that these things happened within my lifetime - even if I was just a baby then.

Please don't post "spoilers" (though these events are history), GD hasn't seen this and we're both going to watch Milk soon.

Spoiler:
Harvey dies at the end.
Yeah, I'm a douchebag, but y'all should be used to that by now.

I've got nothing against the idea of a Richard Pryor biopic, but Eddie Murphy in the role seems like a trainwreck of a choice.

Finally saw "The Visitor". Good enough movie, but I freaking hated the ending. Perhaps it would have been a bit trite to have him marry the mom so she (and eventually Tariq?) could return, but after all that, you kinda want a semi-happy ending.

Yeah, I was expecting a different ending but I suppose it was prety real.

Spoiler:
I was expecting him to follow her and reverse the situation by living as a foreigner -- though not illegally -- in her home country.

My issue with the movie is that I loved the relationship he developed with the two immigrants...

Spoiler:
one of whom disappears halfway through the movie. I didn't care about the romance with the mother, at all. The friendships were far more interesting. Oh, well.

Ok now this is really pissing me off.

Twilight Incorporated you are a bunch of evil callous money grubbing nerff herders.

Headliner is excited beyond words that the DVD is coming out Friday. She's doing the whole midnight release party, come home and watch it with her coven friends thing. Which is great. But the grubby corporate pricks at Twilight, Inc. have decided to release the Blu-Ray version weeks after DVD. No doubt in an attempt to get fans to buy both versions. I see it as a callous attempt to prey on the emotions of my little girl for profit and I hope they burn in hell for it.

They had to make sure the blurays could stand up to squealing girls.

With that phrase, you damn most of the entertainment industry. Which is ok by me. Speaking of exploiting little girls, you did see this, right?
