I ate an entire package of Gummi Bears
Some quickies until I get my ass in gear and finish my latest audition story for you. (Gotta write a new one for the Cap-Journal too... Where does the time go...)
Saw "Prada" today. Meh. While I had serious issues with the book (main character boderline hateful, other characters tedious, subplots skippable) the stuff about She-Who-May-Be-Wintour is hardcore. This was clearly "Prada"-lite (was anyone scared of Meryl? Anyone?) which was okay summer fluff, but I kept wanting to shout, "WHERE'S THE DISH, BITCHES?" Borrow the book (I can't, in good conscience, give that Lauren chick any more cash), skim past the filler and focus on the horror show that was working for Wintour.
I'm currently plowing through "Kitchen Confidential". Not as juicy as I'd hoped, but good enough to make standing in the steaming cesspool of stink that is the summer subway somewhat - somewhat - bearable.
Next up - "Nanny Diaries". Don't say I ain't deep.
Saw Pirates II last night. Again, meh. Matt liked it more than I did, I think. I'd talk about a key scene but don't want to give too much away... Alls I'll say is this: If I was ever called upon to make out with Johnny Depp, I'd insist on staying stationary. Things like that require focus!

It's too damn hot to be deep. I love summer, don't usually mind the heat except when it is completely ridiculous heat like this. I probably shouldn't complain too much as I spend the majority of my day in air conditioned comfort.
I saw Prada a couple of weeks ago. It was a fair way to pass the evening, especially since my mom paid for it!
I would like to read the book though, it is probably best that in this case I am reading it after because I am ALWAYS disappointed by the movie. Except for Gone With the Wind. That was as good.
(My word verification is htchdauu, I think that is how you spell part of the porn movie music we used to sing when someone in our little circle of friends was "Gettin' some.")
And why make out with Johnny Depp when you can have your way with adorable and much more devoted Orlando Bloom?
I agree with you. After that scene, I lost all respect for Ms. Swann. That was also about the time I thought her hair looked like total crap, as well.
I LOVED the movie, up to about that point. Yes, the three-way fight seemed a bit unbelievable, and the waterwheel scene went on WAY too long... but even those can be forgiven. The ending sequence left a sour taste for me, overwhelming all the fun stuff prior.
There is a population that find Keira Knightly awesome. Unfortunately (or not) for me, I'm not part of that crowd.
