I need to become less lame. I keep waiting for that magical moment when things make sense and I get on with things, but it keeps eluding me. Even when I try and am proactive, I seem to not make much progress. Not trying to be a whiner, so my apologies if I am. I still have time in 2011, the year is early yet....

When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause: there's the respect.

Directed by David "Friends" Schwimmer, this involves a fourteen year old girl getting into a cyber-relationship with what turns out to be a (much) older man. This could have been exploitative or TV movie preachy, but thanks to subtle intelligent direction and great performances it avoids both pitfalls. I don't want to give too much away, but I was happy I...

I saw Sucker Punch and LOVED it. It was truly visionary. I don't want to spoil it by going into too much detail, but I would strongly suggest seeing it on the big screen. It was a visual treat, and I am not always the biggest fan of all digital effects all the time filmmaking. Also, the usage of music and how it is incorporated...

I do try. smile

I'm interested in seeing Sucker Punch, and I'm glad you reviewed it. I will make a effort to try and see it on the big screen.

Just got to see Taxi Driver on the big screen! I've seen it many times on TV, but it was a real treat to get to see it in the theatre. If you live in an area that has a revival theatre you should take advantage. Old movies always seem better on the big screen in a theatre. Here in boring Ocean County NJ we...

The dorkiest thing I have done today is also the coolest. I bought a ticket to see The Monkees (3/4 of them, anyway) in concert this summer. I am enough of a Monkees geek to even know if they play any obscure album tracks, so I'll be enthralled whilst everyone else waits for "Daydream Believer". I wish Michael Nesmith wasn't stupid-wealthy so he would have...

New Radiohead album! Nice. A week ago I didn't even know one was on the way and here I now have it in my hot little hands (metaphorically). Nine dollars American seems to be a good deal. Only a few more weeks until the new REM album, which I have the highest hopes for (tho' everytime they put a new album out they denigrate the...

First time in a long (too long) time that I was out on what could be considered a date happened last night. I think I did OK, I certainly didn't embarrass myself. I pledged not to go through 2011 without managing this simple (yet not for me) task, so I guess it's good I got it done in January. I am not selling myself short,...

I didn't spend Thanksgiving with any family members today, this is the second year in a row. Last year it was due to some long simmering acrimony with my sister. This year, well, nothing seemed to come to fruition. I am thankful I am healthy, and that my family and friends are too. After two years of serious illness (all of 2002 and 2003), I...

"Religion is the opiate of the people" implies that it has a calming or narcotic effect. K.Marx couldn't have possibly been more wrong. Given most of the strife in this world seems to have religion at its core, I would say quite the opposite of Marx. I would say, again, given the sheer amounts of zealous anger differing opinions of God bring out in people...
