bironic1. Rachel Getting Married is the only movie I can remember off the top of my head that made me cry the whole way through.
2. I cannot get over how gorgeous Anne Hathaway is. She is the realization of my adolescent Mary Sues.
3. That movie puts Racefail and SGA's gender issues to shame. To absolute shame. Three or four cultures meet at the wedding and are different and are celebrated but aren't pointed at with huge flashing lights saying LOOK WE ARE CULTURALLY DIVERSE.
4. So far so okay: slept in today after getting home at 1 a.m. from a huggy class farewell at a pub, checked that my car hadn't been stolen, went shopping for work clothes and actually found a few things, didn't get rained on, made a tasty dinner from what little I've got in the fridge, treated myself to some ice cream (malted milk ball flavor), and watched a couple of movies.
5. The Untouchables is not that good. Certainly not as good as Goodfellas, which I saw a few weeks ago, or Heat, or A Bronx Tale. Besides having the handicap of Kevin Costner in a leading role, The Untouchables lacked an irony it really needed, from the score to the closing shot. At some point I'll need to add Scarface and The Godfather to the viewing list.
