    Oh, this is woefully unexciting.


    And really, half-human, half-bird? I can't get a Serenity sequel, but someone's brain trust has led them to werebirds?! Is there some sort of strike happening that I don't know about, or has Hollywood just really and truly given up?

    I'm following you around today. OK stalking. (Standing on the corner fake whistling whilst rocking back on heels swiftly looking in other directions every time you glance over smiling slightly out of the corner of my out of the side of my mouth not facing you.)


    The mention above is not original to American Life. It is one of my favorite documentaries entitled "Hands on a Hard Body."


    It isn't available on DVD but Allen's Alley on 23rd and 9th has it on VHS.


    Amazing.

    I just found a copy! I bet you would also like the documentaries "American Movie" (about Mark Borchardt the amateur film maker and his sidekick Mike) and "Fistful of Quarters" (the baddest Donkey Kong competitors ever). Both hilarious. I love a good documentary that involves a mullet or two.


    We should have a movie night... if you'd prefer to stalk me you can watch through my window. I'll bring you out a beer.

    There was a really, REALLY funny story about some guy (hilariously crazy guy) on This American Life, who would participate in those contests where everyone stands around a car and the last person left standing still touching the vehicle wins it (the kind of contest often covered by local radio stations and car dealerships). Apparently he has a knack for this and won himself a truck or two and carried on about how out of control his ego got with the power and rush that these wins afforded him.


    So my guess to your question about how much fame it takes is... very little.

    I haven't seen the movie, but Kristin Stewart's body language and inability to make eye contact during interviews make me think she could have Aspergers or wasn't socialized properly (or just can't act...even like herself, in an interview).

    I saw it last night and I must say it came across as an extended Buffy the Vampire Slayer t.v. episode.


    The plot was pretty thin and James Pattinson wasn't totally hot. For starters he has absolutely no bod.


    The blonde boy who played the bad vampire can suck on any part of me he desires.

    I saw this at 7:00 PM on Friday night - the epicenter of the teenage girl vampire riot. My thoughts on the experience:


    1.) If you're a teenage boy, go see this. Girls your age will outnumber you 20:1. Free advice: put on a black hoody and go stand in line for this.


    2.) Virtually every seen involving Richard Pattinson arriving or doing something sexy/heroic will elicit a shriek from the audience. If you can't stand that, go when the little 'uns are past curfew.


    3.) Suburban/semi-urban parking will actually be quite good, because most of the audience is being dropped off.


    4.) The movie is 121 minutes, and you will feel every excruciating second. The book is interminable, and the movie has opted to keep that dynamic. Bring your iPhone/BlackBerry/laptop/cyanide.


    5.) Kristen Stewart is the most wooden actress I've ever seen get this much screen time. She has fewer facial expressions than Ben Affleck.


    6.) For the menfolk/ladies in search of lipstick: they have a tremendously attractive woman named Ashley Greene playing one of the vampires. Perk up if you hear the name "Alice." She's off-the-charts beautiful.


    7.) You know what the star of this movie is? The Volvo C30. The car had me swooning. Perk up if you hear tires.


    8.) Drink beforehand. It helped.

    I do not think I would be overstating things to say that last night was the greatest movie-going experience of my life. I couldn't decide which was more entertaining - the camp of the movie or the squealing of the hardcore fangirls. And yes, Robert seems to make a lot of puzzling facial expression choices. Overall, highly enjoyable.
