Passive-Aggressive Notes has a great collection of the notes left for roommates, neighbors and the occasional ill passerby, intended to deal with situations.
one suggesting a new years resolution:
just a humble suggestion for 2009…
and another outlining the proper series of events:
you’ve probably seen it, but let’s all turn our attention to the video for “here it goes again” by ok go. before we begin, let’s do a little math: four guys + eight treadmills = one hell of a time.
i took in my first woody allen movie tonight, scoop, up by lincoln center. i really had no expectations. i’ve somehow gone my whole life without ever seeing a woody allen flick and really enjoyed myself. i’ve been poking around some of the reviews since i’ve gotten home and it seems that some of it was recycled. didn’t bother me as a first timer. but now i really want to go and see his acclaimed movies.
hugh jackman and scarlett johansson were fine. what really stole the movie was woody allen being…well…woody allen. he played a magician named splendini who loved to toss around compliments like money at a political fundraiser. “you’re such beautiful, beautiful people. a wonderful group. i love you, i mean that from the bottom of my heart, i do. you’re a credit to your race.” the fact that this just kept flowing made it funny. some of the other performances, especially johansson’s, seemed a little stiff in comparison. otherwise, had a lot of fun.
having such a good time at movies like this and little miss sunshine last week, i really don’t find alot of desire to go to the big budget, big studio movies anymore. the trailers before both of these were really interesting [they were all fox searchlight] and now i’m aching to see those as well. its nice when something is done well rather than just having a name or alot of cash behind it.
i needed a good laugh last week and found it in little miss sunshine. i didn’t really know what to expect, and don’t really know how to describe it. the movie is at times heart wrenching and then laugh-out-loud funny. the back and forth between the two makes it both original and completely moving.
more importantly, if you’ve ever wondered if a VW bus can run without a working clutch, all your questions will be answered at little miss sunshine.
