I would like to point out that I'm pretty sure no one told you to
obtain What a Girl Wants.  I have a feeling that one was all you!  I
am still sad that I have somehow not seen Girl with a Pearl Earring
(despite so-so reviews).  I read the book!  And...it has Colin
Firth! How on earth did that one slip by me?!

YES!! I LOOOOOOOOVE Colin Firth!! He's pretty awesome in Bridget
Jones's Diary and Love Actually as well. Hey I just realized he
jumps in a body of water in Love Actually too! P&P with Colin Firth
is awesome--especially for those 3 scenes you pointed out.

I'm pretty sure Vince will reply saying that he does not understand
young women's obsession with Colin Firth, and yet, he has probably
seen pretty much every Colin Firth movie, which leads me to believe
that his real question is, "why are young women trying to steal
Colin Firth from me!"

Yay! Another person who loves the sight of Colin Firth! The PBS version of P & P
is gods gift to women. 1.)Colin getting water poured on his oh so hot body. 2.)
Colin jumping into a river and emerging with a clingy wet T-Shirt. 3.) Colin
saying "I ardently love and admire you."

Damn you are lucky! I am so jealous. Though I am not sure whether

By wife he was talking about Dan...they bicker like an old married
couple anyway. Well...actually it is full out contempt, therefore
harbors major similarities to some married couples (some, not all!).

Never miss a thing.  Make Yahoo your home page.
http://www.yahoo.com/r/hs

I'd warn my future daughter about you well in advance, telling her
you'd only want to sleep with her to vicariously be with me. I told
you before and I'll tell you again, it'll never happen. You're a good
lookin' guy, and I have to admit, your hobbies are similar to mine,
except I don't swing that way!

As for this "my wife" bit you causually threw in your last post, is
there any truth to that? And as for Guitar Hero, I wanted to hate the
game, but as soon as I played it I was having a good time. The South
Park episode about Guitar Hero is gold!

You notice these posts about you not posting have gotten the most posts!?

I'd warn my future daughter about you well in advance, telling her
you'd only want to sleep with her to vicariously be with me. I told
you before and I'll tell you again, it'll never happen. You're a good
lookin' guy, and I have to admit, your hobbies are similar to mine,
except I don't swing that way!

As for this "my wife" bit you causually threw in your last post, is
there any truth to that? And as for Guitar Hero, I wanted to hate the
game, but as soon as I played it I was having a good time. The South
Park episode about Guitar Hero is gold!

You notice these posts about you not posting have gotten the most posts!?

WAIT, WAIT, WAIT A SECOND THERE! Are you saying that enjoying comic
books, guitar rock'n'role, and younger girls is creepy! I'm in the
wrong damn club! Who are we if we don't cling to our youth? And by the
way, it's not clinging. It's staying true to form. I plan on enjoying
video games and the view of a pretty girl when I'm 95, and honestly,
I'll be proud of it.
Unless, of course, my next child is a girl. In that case, I'll kick
any of you old fart's ass if I catch you even thinking about looking
at the younger ladies! They are here to be respected and cherished!

Yea, I think that's pretty much it--he didn't want to grow up and
wasn't ready to be a dad.  His wife tried to suppress those
tendencies (which Juno saw originally as being a bit unfair), but
later when he announced the divorce I think she realized he was
immature instead of fun.  I think she liked hanging with him because
he was fun and liked that her baby would have a cool dad--but in her
naivete, she still thought that because he was older, he was
grownup, when clearly he is still clinging desperately to his
youth.  And like many guys who refuse to grow up and whose youthful
obsessions are kept repressed, once he found that he could share
them with Juno, I think he got all the excitement tangled up in his
relationship with her.  Because he wasn't quite child molestery, but
he was definitely placing feelings and other hopes on her.  Like, I
got the feeling when he mentioned that he was moving to a loft that
he was hoping she'd think it was awesome and want to come visit.
Because he is immature and selfish, he didn't realize that she
wouldn't be happy about it--that she wouldn't see it as they were
now free to have fun.  He didn't realize that he was ruining the
perfect life she had envisioned for her baby--one that didn't
involve a broken home.  But it did make her realize that Vanessa was
actually the perfect one, not Mark.

Guess precocious 16 year olds don't know everything--which her
stepmom and friend did try to warn her about!  Actually pretty much
everyone she talked to said it was weird she was hanging out with
mark.  But yea, that dance scene was just really uncomfortable!  I
was half expecting him to try to kiss her, but was really glad it
didn't go that way!

I can't believe my coworker didn't see this.  Though, granted, he is
a bit younger, and perhaps as naive as Juno?

Wait, so you're saying that the only reason I got my No Country for
Old Men review is because you ACCIDENTALLY did it?? Wow, way to
make your fans feel appreciated!

I saw Juno on Tuesday and liked it, although I then had to get into
an argument with a coworker who didn't find anything bordering
inappropriate in the slightest in the relationship between Juno and
Mark. Just friendly. You know, just like all those times 40 year
old men wrap a girl's arms around his neck and put his arms around
her waist and slow dance...I'm not crazy, right??

The nearly 3-hour length is a bit inhibitive, but being a PT Anderson
film, I definitely do want to see There Will Be Blood.

Since I accidentally reviewed a film Jen has seen, it's good to know I
have been actively avoiding Cyrus's recommendations.

One thing I should mention: it takes a lot longer to write a review
for a great movie than a bad one.  One of the biggest appeals for pure
pap entertainment is that I can churn out the review without much
having to do a bunch of research or struggle to come up with what to say.

We are, by nature, more expressive when it comes to things we don't
like.  When you eat a favorite dish made poorly, and someone were to
ask why you didn't like it, you could probably go on and on about what
aspects of the meal aren't up to snuff.  However, if you ate that same
dish and it was very good, and someone asked why you thought so, it's
harder to relate what you mean when you say it is good.

Usually, "I love it" is sufficient to gauge one's opinion and people
don't ask for a follow-up.  If you say "It sucks", others will
probably ask what's the matter with it.  We flex our muscle of
expression of disapproval much more often.  This is why I always tell
people that it's easier to review a bad film than a good one, and also
why it takes longer to write a positive review than a negative,
especially when people ask more out of your writing when reviewing a
favorite film than they do when you trach a movie no one has any
affection for.

It was becoming difficult to predetermine which movies Jen would
watch, so I accidentally saw this on Sunday. Reviews are taking a
little longer to complete, as I have less free time than had been the
case, and more emphasis on quality control than had been the norm in
the past.

What about "There Will Be Blood"? I've heard some wonderful things
about this film.
And as far as watching Heroes...don't. It's a bad comicbook of a tv
show. The writing is weak, the production value is that of normal
television dramas.

Just go get Season 1 of LOST. Not only is it the best tv show I've
ever seen, I think it's better than 99.5 % of the movies I've seen in
the last 3 years. Actaully, the writing of Season 1's "Walkabout"
episode is single handedly the best writing I've ever had the pleasure
to watch.

So in short: Heroes is for Fanboys who will like anything with
cheerleaders and superheros. LOST is a program that challanges the
viewer, has complex characters, superb production value and top notch
writing.

Good point, though we all know those aren't the same reasons that keep

Jeez man, once again you have not reviewed a recent movie that I
have seen. What gives?! I thought for sure this would be one you'd
review too, since it's all in Oscar contention and stuff.

I saw No Country for Old Men, which given its Oscarness and Cohen
Brothersness, I am surprised you did not have up already!

What gives?? Are you trying to make sure I never know what you
think of the movies I actually watch??

Since I have the first season of Heroes on HD-DVD, that will be next.

I haven't seen Lost, but I'll keep it in mind.  The trouble with some
of these shows is that there are too many hours and hours to sit
through to get caught up. At least Sarah Connor is caught from the
beginning, but if the quality continues at this clip, I suspect that I
won't have to sit through too many seasons.

It sucks that I'm forced to root for the Green Bowl Packers in the
playoffs, but who else can stop the cheating juggernaut Pats?
