Zombieland was hella fun (yes, I said "hella"). Not what I was expecting, and so much better than I expected. Really a lot of fun, and pretty darn funny.

See it at the Chinese Theater for a special treat.

Ourtage premiers on HBO tonight. I can't wait to see is as I was not able to catch it while it was in theaters.

Cool, I thought I'd missed it last night during my TV marathon of Dexter and Mad Men.

(Why am I back to watching 2 shows? That's TV overload for me ... and just like the last time I watched two (when True Blood was on), they are consecutive on Sunday nights. Ugh.)

This Christmas Carol looks like cut-scenes from a video game, and I'm sorry to see the Disney name on it. With the way Pixar proudly boasts of (rightly) animating the hard way, it's a shame to see us putting out something that, no matter how much effort may have been put into it, comes off looking like it cut corners. This looks awful.

I would love to see a zombie movie made that way, though.

I had to click because I couldn't figure out what Our-tage would mean. I see it's Outrage, ok that makes more sense

Shhyeah. I was saddened to see that. I was hoping to see Colin Firth looking cute, but no.

Watched Seven Pounds on a small TV while visiting over the weekend. I can't not like Will Smith in anything. Rosario Dawson was good. Even knowing where the movie was going to end up, it was still disturbing.

Thanks for catching that

I saw Zombieland yesterday. Loved it. It was a lot of fun.

on the subject of zombies ... maybe i'm out of it, but I only just heard of the nationwide Reenact THRILLER Project for people to get all zombied-up, learn the choreography at pre-event seminars throughout the country, and perform Thriller simultaneously everywhere on October 24 (in L.A., at the Music Center, I believe).

I even have a zombie costume for the Hollywood Zombie Walk the weekend before, but I'll be hip-deep in Masquerade work on the 24th - so I won't be able to make it.

Still, with Zombieland a good word-of-mouth hit, and two big Be-A-Zombie events in L.A. this month, it's turning out to be a really themie Halloween season.
