I never thought an Ashton Kutcher movie would land on the “watch every week, and then some” list.
This is a very cute, very sweet movie. Starts out a little “When Harry Met Sally” but actually goes in a very different direction. The deaf brother seemed a little “Four Weddings and a Funeral” but he’s only in a few scenes.
Super cute. Super sweet. Ouch!
Bonus: There’s a scene with “If You Leave Me Now” (Chicago) that is just as awesome as the “Tiny Dancer” scene in “Almost Famous.” Seriously.
Some priceless comments here by Billy Connolly during the “Not My Job” segment. I might need to pick up his new DVD for my dad’s bday. He’s hilarious.
I think Ginger told me about these Bookworm podcasts a long, long time ago… I actually can’t remember whether or not I’ve ever actually read “The Sot-Weed Factor” although I’m positive I own it. Barth is pretty humble for a guy who’s been around such a long time. Used to have a lot of fame as an environmentalist although I’m not sure many people know that anymore. This podcast was about his latest “Where Three Roads Meet” but I had to run by the bookstore and pick up “The Book of Ten Nights and a Night” as the podcast ended. Look, Betsy, short stories! 🙂
One of those rare suspense movies where we actually know who the bad guy is the whole way through, and the suspense is about stopping him rather than figuring out who he is. Keanu is quite freaky here and James Spader is great as a messed-up cop on his last legs.
“Tryped” = meaning “tried to type.” You can imagine how this got started… I was trying to type to someone that I had “tried to type” only I typed “tryped” instead of “tried to type” and yet it so perfectly encapsulated what I was trying to say that rather than type “tried to type” instead I decided to go with “tryped.”
Spread the word.
Not to worry – it can also be used in “ing” form. I was “tryping” = “trying to type.”
Carry on.
I honestly didn’t think there were any Tori Amos songs I liked. Turns out “A Sorta Fairytale” is quite lovely.
