| By the way, billy, I am disappointed you did not correct me on the spelling of Kathy Lamkin's name. It's like gary telling a story in which he doesn't meet a famous person. |

I met Burroughs. He was living in the Hotel Boulderado when I was managing it.
He was exactly what I expected, creepy. |

| Linney's performances in You Can Count on Me, The Savages, and The Laramie Project are amazing. Kinsey not so much. |

I didn't like The Hangover either Al. And it wasn't because of the previews. It just wasn't very funny. |

Guess I'll have to add my thoughts once Netflix delivers the disc soon. |

The Hangover was very oversold. I thought it was okay but nowhere near the laff riot it was said to be. |

The movie has been compared to Very Bad Things, which I laughed my ass off to many times. |

Watched 10 Things I Hate About You on Netflix, with Julia Stiles playing Kat Stratford (the equivalent of Kate in "The Taming of the Shrew"), Heath Ledger as Patrick Verona (Petruchio), Larisa Oleynik as Bianca (eh, Bianca) and Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Michael (?). Pleasant film. Bianca's itching to date, but her father doesn't want her to (he's an obstetrician and is afraid of his daughters getting knocked up), but finally relents enough that Bianca can date if Kat does. Kat, of course, is a shrew, so Michael arranges for dimwit Joey to pay the dubious Patrick to date Kat. This is all set in high school.
There are some other changes: Patrick is far gentler than Petruchio, Bianca is much more likable than in "The Taming of the Shrew" and there is a rather sweet romance involving the school nerd that I wasn't expecting. I always like Julia Stiles (I haven't seen Wicked.). She and Ledger make a nice couple. |
