I've been at a high school track meet. But you know I've already acknowledged this momentous date.
Damn boy! Making 50 look hot.
"Source Code" is doing respectable business but WAAAY behind that abysmal "Hop." However, Jake's performance has been universally praised. THIS is the action movie Jake should have been looking for instead of that awful "Prince of Persia." I hope he learned his lesson. He had to hire himself a bitchy, itchy beard for POP and sailed through SC on his own.
Looooove Winter's Bone. To my mind, it's what filmmaking was made to do. Really authentic, really gripping. Tell me how you feel about the character of Teardrop. Note feelings, beginning/middle/end and tell me that actor didn't deserve the Oscar.
nice and sunny and warm here - lfj would hate it! just finished watching Joey (male cardinal) feed the love of his life, Penny (feamle cardinal. they were so cute!!!
Winter's Bone was a good film - however, it was somewhat depressing and distubing albeit it had a sort of life affirming ending. But it was the kind of film that i don't prefer to watch again, like "Requim for a Dream" (Eileen Brennan should have won the academy award that year for her performance in it).
Jennifer Lawrence was a marvel and the dude who played Teardrop defintely (like Tisha said) should have gotten an award for his performance. Overall, all involved did great acting jobs and the cinematography was really good. btw Tisha, did u recognize the dude who played the sheriff?
lfj, i agree somewhat with your husband's dislike of Chris's character on SVU. his anger has really gotten out of hand and both he and Mariska would have lost their jobs long ago for past unacceptable behaviors. i'm getting tired of the series and the lack of hardly any Munch or Fin in recent episodes. if u want to see the best and ALL of Meloni, rent the Oz series on DVD.
Oh that's right. The sheriff has moved back with his wife, mother-in-law, son, and granddaughter now, hasn't he? Quite a different role. I prefer him in comedy.
Belated birthday wishes to Chris! It was 92 degrees and sunny last Friday, had a beautiful weekend and looking for fair weather until at least Friday. My "mood" depends on the weather so is best I remain in fair weather climes although I do enjoy a storm now and then. I've discovered that even darkness can bring on melancholy sometimes so I especially like daylight savings time. The "affliction" can be a real drag such as when I used to make black & white prints in the darkroom. To produce a quality print can sometimes take hours so staying the in the dark (mostly) was difficult so I find the new technology to be very appealing as you can't create in the light. They haven't matched the tonal possibilities of darkroom black & white yet but I'm confident they will. That's probably more information than anyone wanted about photographic lab work!
I'm a sunlight loving person too, Roc. Even though, because of my sensitivity I am prevented from actually being in the sun. But long grey days and early nights make me dull and listless. Let's be glad we weren't born in the far Northern hemisphere where they have 24 hour nights in the winter, even if they get 24 days in the summer.
I know absolutely nothing about film and photo developing, until now that is.
Oh please, Roc, let me come and live in your dark room. It can't be too black for me. One advantage of Daily Light Savings: there is an extra hour of darkness before that effing sun comes up (I get ill thinking of such a sight).
The only thing that makes me madder (yes, it produces a sort of free-floating anger) than seeing the sun come up is watching people eat salads on TV.
I never thought of that, lfj. If one is going to eat a fake meal, why make it a salad? Big bowls of steaming pasta or a thick juicy steak. Maybe because then they couldn't resist really eating it.
I can always use assistance, come on in lfj....hee,hee,hee... TT, I too cannot tolerate much direct sunlight - I usually start to turn red in about 10 minutes and at the 30 minute mark, my flesh is sizzling - thank God for SPF 50 sunscreen! As for eating salads so much in TV; my thought is they have to shoot (and re-shoot) scenes from different angles so can't always use the good stuff such as pasta, steak etc. or there could be some serious weight issues.
What a difference a day makes. Charlie Sheen may have bombed in Detroit, but he got a standing ovation when he took his live show to Chicago.

I just keep reminding myself that you can't judge the whole city of Chicago by the morons who attended this trash, but wow, seems like the people of Detroit had a little better sense.
Why? That's the big question. Why would anyone care to spend their money on this shell of a human being? Just more enabling when there should be an outcry for this man to get help and stay out of the public eye until he is well.
Boo -- Sheen got cheered in Chicago. I just don't get it. Okay, I'll admit that I've never watched "Two and a Half Men," but I was never interested because he was so bad in "Spin City." He can't deliver lines, he has no comedic timing, he's a zip. And he's beginning to look like some of the little ole men with big ears and sunken chests that I've seen struggling with the DT's in the holding cage (which I was told as a newbie was a phone booth for inmates to make a call -- ah, hazing!).
Roc, you should reconsider. In third grade I got locked in the "cloak closet" with a little boy named Chris for coming in late from recess. So, I took advantage of the situation by grabbing and kissing him. He was screaming for help when the teacher released us.
lfj, thanks for the epiphany! i prefer sunny, warm days an occasionally a rainy day but i've always loved the dark and have never been afraid of it. thanks to you, i now know why. in grade school i had a good friend named Marilyn (who was probably comprable to Judes @ that age)and she was always getting me into trouble and we both spent most of our grade school years locked in the cloak closet for misbehavin. wasn't too bad except for the winter time when he had to stand among wt, smelly goulashes (sp). We used to sneak kisses but unlike your pansy friend Chris, I didn't back away and scream. she, however, was the one who instigated it all the time! ;-)
I listened to several dj's today and some TV commentators who were all talking about Charlie's show, so a substantial amount of the audience were people in entertainment and/or the like.
As for who paid the big bucks, they probably expensed it.
I got locked in a supply closet once too, with a boy. But he was crying. I started laughing, not at him of course, and wasn't the teacher furious when she came into the room and we were giggling. Don't ask me why I didn't burst into tears too. I think it was foreshadowing of my future personality. (No kissing.)
Oh man, I never was put in a closet with a girl - that was my life dream back then! In my school, if the teacher wanted to punish you, it was done publicly - you stood in the corner in the front of the classroom until told to sit down....but maybe it's not too late for some dark room fun!
damn...isn't any of my squints gonna wish Chris a happy birthday?!?

yea Tisha, thanks for the reminder that it was Chris's b-day.
ReplyDeleterented Winter's Bone to watch this evening. will let u know what i thot. has anybody else seen it yet?

ReplyDeleteI like Chris, also. Used to get him mixed up with Aaron Eckhart and Elias Koteas.
ReplyDeleteMy husband hates the Elliot character on "SVU," but I don't understand. Maybe it's the anger. I think it makes him complicated and believable.
Where the heck is everyone?
ReplyDeleteI'm waiting for my Winter Bone review, Teddy.
ReplyDeleteIt's a cold and blustery day here, cloudy and wet. You'd love it, lfj.
I'm peevish about the sun here now but tomorrow will be in the mid-40s with cold rain. Can't wait.
ReplyDeleteAnxious to see "Winter Bone." We mostly watch movies in the summer.
So glad to see Charlie Sheen crashed and burned at his "presentation" in Detroit. Ijit.
Here comes the clouds . . . doody do-do-do-do

ReplyDeleteI don't like the new DA either and the plots are really too graphic sometimes.
ReplyDeleteWouldn't Olivia and Elliott have gotten together at least once over the years? Wife: blah.
Yeah, more Munch and his conspiracies!
Maybe we'll download Oz this summer (oy, writing the word just brings me down).
In the 30s with wind howling (and you thought that happened only in bad fiction).
ReplyDeleteLooking for my socks. One is missing.
Aha. In the kitty food bowl and damp from being dunked in the water bowl first.
Anyone else have cats that put toys and other objects in their bowls?
W4G, saw a Bluebird yesterday out my window! He sends his best to Penny and Joey.

not to change the subject, but check out the naked men of Oz: http://www.xtube.com/view.php?s=tR0KBv2WB84&p=7OPnjwyhs23&pin=

i betcha Tisha had front row seats to his (sheen's) performance and even purchased the "meet and gree" ticket that cost only a mere $575.00.

well, seems as tho i had the best time being locked in the cloak closet. marilyn even taught me how to french kiss!
ReplyDeletethnakfully, they stopped locking us in the closet when we reached 16. if not, i might have become a papa!!! LOL
Yep, the best things happen in the dark.
ReplyDeleteAnd I triple-dog-dare anyone to start singing "Memories."
lfj, am taking your triple-dog-dare:
