Junebug

I watched "Junebug" again last night and it was actually better the second time. I recommend it to anyone who likes watching quirky yet original films. It's a good flick. The characters seem so complex, like you just get under the surface while watching it. Another good movie I like and watched again recently was "Shopgirl", which is based on Steve Martin's novella; however, it is a serious film. It's very very interesting. I showed it to Egbert, but he fell asleep because he was so tired and it was oddly hot in the basement. Still a good film though. I'll try to blog a little more about good films that are not showing in the theatres (I find run-of-the-mill films to be extremely predictable and unoriginal).

Happy Watching!

Moving

Wow! Who knew that moving was so expensive?? I can't even imagine how much it must cost for people moving cross country! I got back from a day trip to NYC to move my apt outta BK, and it was out of control! It cost a ton of money, and the drive was just so BLAH! If only I had a huge pick up, it prolly woulda been easier, but oh well.

Am I the only person who watched The Academy? I think that show is awesome! It's on FOX reality, and though FOX is mostly crap (aside from HOUSE, and sometimes American Idol), that show is great! The best part is that the one brotha' is called the "Ramrod."

Has anybody ever seen this movie called "Somethin' New" with Sanaa Lathan? That movie was garbage. The movies really make interracial dating seem so taboo, and all of the story lines stay the same. I know in many instances people view it as taboo, but it's really not as ridiculous as many movies make it seem. Regardless, is anybody else wondering why they make a bigger deal out of interracial couples on television in general than gay couples? I think it's interesting. I'm not saying that either is depicted accurately or adequately, but I just think it's something to think about.
