I finished it 3:30am Tuesday morning. Comment on Marky Mark was not there to move me by Bronwen Bronwen — Mon, 16 Jul 2007 18:55:14 +0000 Celina, we decided not to paint. The pumpkin has totally grown on me. Comment on Marky Mark was not there to move me by Celina Celina — Sat, 14 Jul 2007 04:57:45 +0000 What color are you going to paint the pumpkin wall?

It was a little sparky in my heart. Comment on how am I up to? by matt matt — Wed, 20 Jun 2007 02:34:51 +0000 What is up with the Christopher Doyle segment in Paris Je T’aime is Christopher Doyle is an Aussie who works primarily in Asia (lensing for Wong Kar-Wai, mostly) and a little in America (he shot Psycho ‘98, Lady in the Water, etc.), and he wants the world to know he is international and shit. Also, what is up with this segment is Christopher Doyle is a cinematographer, and cinematographers rarely make the successful leap to director. (This doesn’t go for the other way: “Peter Andrews,” aka Steven Soderbergh, is pretty awesome in my book.) Man, I so don’t taime Paris Je T’aime. I kind of liked the Payne, the Coens, the Natali and the Assayas (which is amazing if you let the ambiance soak over you but don’t pay attention to its admittedly blah storyline). But the bad (Craven, Chomet, LaGravenese, Salles, Schmitz and — sorry — Chadha) are derailingly bad. Bring on New York Stories in my opinion. I just plowed through Freaks and Geeks for the first time myself. Martin Starr rules! Comment on vacation by Pete Fenelon Pete Fenelon — Wed, 06 Jun 2007 21:13:47 +0000 Amsterdam: nice place if you avoid the tourist traps. There’s a lovely leftie/anarchist bookstore run by a draft-dodger who stuck around for 30-odd years. If you must visit the ‘coffee shops’ avoid the cake. Really. It’s not good for you. I had the whitey from hell after too much cake. The Van Gogh museum is a ‘don’t miss’. The Rijksmuseum is a bit big and drab but has some excellent stuff in it. Avoid the torture museum. It’s rubbish. It looks like a dark, grotty school gym full of dark, grotty school gym equipment. Which may float your boat but does little for me ;) Disclaimer: I seem to spend a lot of time at Schiphol but never actually get into Amsterdam these days.
