my opinion matters

What is up with this kid? Does he think he’s Usher? Why does he wear 80s style moon boots? He is confusing. Discuss.

Watch this movie with Cameron Diaz and the guy who plays Cyclops. And then get back to me. I read the short story and it was nothing like the film at all, and it got a little Donnie Darko towards the end – in a good way, I think, but still. There’s no point of me discussing this film in any detail if you haven’t seen it because you will have absolutely no idea what I’m talking about. So watch it, and let me know.

People would not leave me alone about this movie, Law Abiding Citizen. Seriously. They would not leave me alone about how great an amazing the movie is, over and over again. But, you know, it has Jamie Foxx in it and I pretty much hate him a lot. [more in a bit, I am taking a break from blogging to play Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2] Okay, so anyway. I was not particularly interested, especially because the film also had Gerard Butler (known to me as the phantom in The Phantom of the Opera but known to everyone else on the planet as the guy from 300 who yells “For Sparta!”) in it, and I’m not a huge fan. I’m neutral. Anyway, so since everyone was bugging me about it, I put it in my instant queue for Netflix and forgot about it, but alas, it came in the mail and I felt obligated to watch it. And I did. And it was awesome. Seriously, it was great. Not too much exposition, but just enough to kind of know what was happening, and then the action started. Lots of cool explosions, lots of de...

Sorry it’s been forever since I’ve posted – I recently started a new job and it’s been monopolizing a lot of my time. Anyway, I have recently discovered possibly the greatest show in the history of everything: The Golden Girls. I mean, I knew about it and all, but I had never seen an episode until about a week ago. Not only is it probably the funniest show I have ever seen, it’s always fun to watch and it’s entertaining. I won’t bore you with the storyline – google it. But if you’ve never given it a try, do it. It’s worth it. The best part is that they show it ALL the time on tv, so I’ve already seen almost 30 episodes. Sophia is my favorite by far, and the best line I’ve heard so far was: “Look! There’s a black guy reading the news and it’s not even the weekend!” I laughed my ass off. Really. I’m not kidding. Watch a couple of episodes, no matter what you think about it. Hilarious. It’s like Sex and the City without the sex scenes and horse-face Sarah Jessica Parker. Woo! Plus, Bea A...

Today is April 1st. First of all, I can’t believe it’s already April – the new year just started, I swear. But I think April is going to be a good month. I start my new job (salaried and everything!) and the weather is nice again. But you know what is the best? That I am finally old enough that people don’t do April Fool’s Day stuff anymore. I used to really hate that when I was a kid. I mean, it’s hard enough to tell when someone is kidding or being serious, and then to have everyone around you doing it? Ugh. That’s definitely the worst. I guess that’s what you get when you get older. I hope by the time I turn 30 (I’ll be 26 this year) I will have gotten over the whole aging thing, because as of right now, I’m not really loving it. 26. That sounds old. But whatever. I’m just kicking it at the house today, hanging out with the animals and finally getting over this evil cold I spread around the house. Oops. Plus, yesterday I stepped on a tack. And not just ooh I pricked my foot stepped ...

So, go ahead and skip the new version of Fame that came out. If you saw the first one, then you know almost the exACT plot of the new one. There’s even a scene where one guy convinces a younger girl that he’ll get her an acting job if he can tape her audition and tries to sleep with her, etc etc. You know how that one ends. Some of the cool dance and music scenes were okay, but mostly it was lame. Same old. Why do they keep doing that anyway? Remaking movies that shouldn’t ever be remade like Fame and Starsky & Hutch and it’s stupid. Grumble. At least the professors were Kelsey Grammar, Bebe Neuwirth and Meagan Mullally.

I always watch the MTV award shows, including the movie one, because it’s usually fun and most of the celebrities show up to accept them. The categories this year are pretty funny, and I decided to cast my votes this morning. I haven’t seen a lot of the films that are nominated (like Jennifer’s Body and The Bounty Hunter), but it’s still fun to vote anyway. Here are the categories and who I voted for, regardless of who will win. Some awards shows are fun because you can predict the winners, like at the Oscars and the Golden Globes, but I like the MTV awards because it’s just for fun. So here goes… Best Kiss – I only saw a few of the nominees, and am voting for Valentine’s Day, whether it’s the Taylors or Jennifer Garner/Ashton Kutcher. That movie was adorable. I’m thinking it will go to one of them, or maybe to the lesbian kiss in The Runaways, because, you know. Best Fight – Any of the Star Trek ones would be great, as would the fight in Obsessed between Ali Larter and Beyonce. But I ...
