Sometimes I find this statement to be more true than I would like to admit. We shall see what of life's busy nothings will emerge on this blog.Kerryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03784156641612874643noreply@blogger.comBlogger472125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2488039764480036600.post-26321388214860527412011-01-30T12:42:00.000-08:002011-01-30T12:42:16.704-08:00Switching to Tumblr<div style="text-align: center;">Hi my friends. I've gone and switched to tumblr. All the cool kids are doing it and to be honest after playing with it a bit, I can see why. It's snazzy and seamlessly works between all the various social media. So this blog will remain here for history's sake, but from now on you can find me:</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

Ok, I just don't get it. Why did this movie get so much praise? A 94% Fresh rating on rottentomatoes.com?? Did we watch the same movie? I can't even properly review this, so I'm just going to bullet point it:<br />
<div></div><ul><li>Implausible plot - I'm sorry, but I just didn't believe it. There is no way that criminals that are supposed to be so good at evading the FBI could be this dumb.</li>
<li>Terrible acting or overacting - Seriously, what was Jon Hamm thinking? "Oh I get to NOT be Don Draper so I better chew as much scenery as possible so people can see that I CAN not be Don Draper." He was laughably bad. Blake Lively and Jeremy Renner overacted too. Ben didn't overact, but he didn't act very well. The best of the whole bunch was the late, great Pete Postlethwaite.</li>
<li>Cheeseball dialogue - Mainly spewed out by Jon Hamm. I guess they decided that the cheesiest actor could have the cheesiest lines like this one, "This is the not fucking around crew so get me something that looks like a print because this not fucking around thing is about to go both ways."</li>
<li>My favorite line in the entire movie? When Jon Hamm says to Rebecca Hall's character after the lightbulb goes off that she warned Ben Affleck away, "You know we are a NATIONAL organization." WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN??? So what, she can't fool you guys because you're a NATIONAL organization? Dumbest line EVER.</li>
</ul>So yeah, all in all I thought this film was terrible and I am completely baffled by the attention it got last year. The seeds of a good movie were there...they just didn't pull it off.Kerryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03784156641612874643noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2488039764480036600.post-49843441916496926162011-01-24T06:30:00.001-08:002011-01-24T06:30:04.283-08:00Portlandia - Did you read?<center><object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,47,0" height="270" id="flashObj" width="480"><param name="movie" value="http://c.brightcove.com/services/viewer/federated_f9?isVid=1&isUI=1" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF" /><param name="flashVars" value="videoId=739498714001&linkBaseURL=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ifc.com%2Fportlandia%2F&playerID=88218671001&playerKey=AQ~~,AAAAAAAn_zM~,B6LaFUvNnt2RhwK5cjOvZ4hHQyd5XXC9&domain=embed&dynamicStreaming=true" /><param name="base" value="http://admin.brightcove.com" /><param name="seamlesstabbing" value="false" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="swLiveConnect" value="true" /><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" /><embed src="http://c.brightcove.com/services/viewer/federated_f9?isVid=1&isUI=1" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" flashVars="videoId=739498714001&linkBaseURL=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ifc.com%2Fportlandia%2F&playerID=88218671001&playerKey=AQ~~,AAAAAAAn_zM~,B6LaFUvNnt2RhwK5cjOvZ4hHQyd5XXC9&domain=embed&dynamicStreaming=true" base="http://admin.brightcove.com" name="flashObj" width="480" height="270" seamlesstabbing="false" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowFullScreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" swLiveConnect="true" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash"></embed></object><br />

I woke up this morning from the strangest dream.<br />
<br />
In the dream I went to a party. It was at like a bookstore? There were dark, wooden bookshelves lining all the walls and nooks and crannies with tables and chairs in which to get lost. As I entered the party I found one nook where Seth Myers from <em>SNL</em> was hanging out with Ira Glass the host <em>This American Life</em> and Jonathan Goldstein, a contributor to <em>This American Life</em>. I walked into the nook and immediately noticed that Seth was wearing these ridiculous Ed Hardy-like, grafittied jeans. I smirked at him (because in the dream we were old friends and I was allowed to make fun of him) and said, sarcastically, "Nice pants." He rolled his eyes and said, darkly, "Thanks, Jonathan gave them to me." So I looked at Jonathan with a look that said, "Really? Really Jonathan? Those are the most ridiculous pants I've ever seen!" At that exact moment, David Rakoff, another <em>This American Life</em> contributor walked up to us and without missing a beat from when Seth said, "Thanks, Jonathan gave them to me," I clapped David on the shoulder and said, "Speaking of Jonathan Goldstein, has everyone read David Rakoff's new book?" This was apparently the funniest thing in the world for me to say. Like it was some kind of bizarre inside joke and Ira started busting out laughing, you know in that cute Ira Glass laugh that he has? In that moment what I had said was totally brilliant and funny and I was the hit of that party. So in the dream I of course quickly walked away from them before my brilliant and funny moment could be tainted by the next unbrilliant and unfunny moment.<br />
<br />
Weird dream, huh? But when I woke up I felt the brilliant and funny feeling from the dream! It was good! I liked that feeling! I wished I could hold onto it, which is why I immediately scribbled down this dream so I wouldn't forget it. It sure doesn't retain it's brilliance and humor as I typed it up here. Oh well, such is the stuff of dreams....Kerryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03784156641612874643noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2488039764480036600.post-41804836146790651742011-01-22T06:30:00.000-08:002011-01-22T06:30:01.365-08:00Saturdays with Hedy Lamarr #41<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiO0VwtrRuVRtMiKD3tRpP-v66b0W2MyGXHQi8Brh4k7ASOoDC2zHNkhdQWU3kgJdXiY4bwuCFwi09VX1n0_bCqKmkjdOAROOY9Jm2GlNNakLdv8awbEq6aJdBtAVRrqHHj3cFY1JN8WXHj/s1600/Hedy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" ox="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiO0VwtrRuVRtMiKD3tRpP-v66b0W2MyGXHQi8Brh4k7ASOoDC2zHNkhdQWU3kgJdXiY4bwuCFwi09VX1n0_bCqKmkjdOAROOY9Jm2GlNNakLdv8awbEq6aJdBtAVRrqHHj3cFY1JN8WXHj/s640/Hedy.jpg" width="492" /></a></div>Kerryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03784156641612874643noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2488039764480036600.post-84551410082557799212011-01-21T06:30:00.000-08:002011-01-21T11:19:16.032-08:00The Best Golden Globes 2011 GIFs<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfv5KhgEXyy_D6mt6Q1VU_LIJ_u_J-7kliSKdIBOaaFZnNh4LVz5Ax3IOIvVG6zqQti7ITcKWhmIi7bKptf66HOQXZZVAx4d6f9loshqZ6Ww6Dpa7RfiYJL4SbJFJaj8AWde0WwcD32GA/s1600/GG.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="179" s5="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfv5KhgEXyy_D6mt6Q1VU_LIJ_u_J-7kliSKdIBOaaFZnNh4LVz5Ax3IOIvVG6zqQti7ITcKWhmIi7bKptf66HOQXZZVAx4d6f9loshqZ6Ww6Dpa7RfiYJL4SbJFJaj8AWde0WwcD32GA/s320/GG.gif" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Jesse Eisenberg and Andrew Garfield being all cute.</div><br />

I was lucky enough to meet Duke Haney once at a party at a mutual friend's house in L.A. I remember immediately liking him and after reading this book of his personal essays I now understand why. How could you not like someone who can write about their own life with such honesty and humor and depth? There is no pretension in Duke's stories even though the life he's led would allow for some. Reading this was like talking to Duke at that party. He's just a cool guy, a nice guy, telling you a bit about himself until suddenly you find yourself completely drawn in and fascinated and you want to just let him keep talking, keep entertaining you. As I read this collection, each story I finished became my favorite story. They all feel very immediate even though some take place over twenty years ago. But if I had to choose my favorites I think they would be <i>Cutty Sarked</i> for it's hilarious honesty, <i>That's What I've Been Trying to Tell You</i> for it's tragedy, beautifully expressed and <i>The Right Profile</i> because I myself once had an obsession with Montgomery Clift. <br />
<br />
So, thanks Duke. Keep telling your stories. I'll keep reading them. <br />

Patti Smith's <em>Just Kids</em> is the best book I read in 2010. It's possibly the best book I've read in the last five years. In telling the story of her relationship with artist Robert Mapplethorpe, Patti illuminates for the world what it means to be an artist, a friend, a lover, and a musician. Not what it means in general, but what it means <strong>TO HER</strong>. In doing so she tells fascinating, magical, poetic, passionate, charming, heartbreaking, ecstatic, romantic, whimsical, and unbelievable stories of New York City and its eclectic inhabitants, its cherished neighborhoods, and its institutions like Max's Kansas City and the Chelsea Hotel. I can't even begin to say how much I loved this book. I never wanted it to end. I want everyone in the world to read it. And I hope Patti Smith goes on to write more books because I know she has more stories to tell. <br />

Roger Deakins is a brilliant cinematographer and this film is like a showcase of everything he can do. And how fantastic was Barry Pepper??? Despite the upper echelon of actors in this film, Barry was able to steal every scene in which he appeared, which was unfortunately too few. And I can't wait to see what that Hailee Steinfeld does next.<br />

I fell in love with Jimmy Stewart quite young in life and I must have watched the scene where he as George Bailey and Donna Reed as Mary walk home from the dance and throw rocks at the Old Granville House a bazillion times. I adore that scene. It's so sweet and romantic and goofy and perfect. I know that once upon a time this film was played nearly non-stop on TV during the holidays, but now that they only play it once a year it has recaptured it's specialness. It should be watched as a family event.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

Some years ago watching this film together became a sorta Christmas tradition for me and my best friend Jen. I always moon over Christian Bale as Laurie, and she moons over Gabriel Byrne as Professer Bhaer. It's gotten harder in recent years because we no longer live in the same city. But I can always watch this film if I want to feel like she's near and it's great at Christmas.<br />

This film got terrible reviews when it came out in 2005 but I love it and now I watch it every year at Christmas. The cast is fantastic and it's such a great mix of comedy, drama, and romance. <br />

I don't know why people don't think of this movie when it comes to the best Christmas movies of all time. It's perfect. Funny, sweet, romantic, and charming. I love the scene when Sandra Bullock as Lucy is at the Callaghan house while they open presents. She has no family and here she is thrust into this boisterous bunch and she gets quiet and wistful as she watches them interact and exclaim in delight and surprise over their gifts. And they give her a gift too! So sweet. Love it.<br />

There is a reason TBS plays this for 24 hours straight on Christmas. No one ever gets sick of it! Personally I love the quiet scenes, like the opening one with all the kids looking in the toy store window and the parade, or the final scene when mom and dad pour themselves some champagne, sit by the light of the Christmas tree and watch the snow falling outside. I think I would love a Christmas in the 1940s.<br />
