Whatever happened to PBS?



LaMere: So, do you think you're going to see Watchmen with your friends?
Moi: Um, uh, maybe? Somebody mentioned a midnight thing, but uh, I'm not sure yet.
LM: You know if I were young that's what I would do.
Moi: Huh?
LM: You know and if I had friends to go with and I wasn't working both days.
Moi: Right. Well, yeah, I think we'll try and do that.
LM: I really think you should.
Moi: Riiiight....

News on a Newton filmmaker

From the Boston Globe:
"The trailer for Quentin Tarantino's new WWII pic "Inglourious Basterds" has hit the 'Net and, predictably, it looks like a bloodbath. Interestingly, the first face you see in the clip belongs to Eli Roth, the Newton filmmaker who plays one of several Jewish-American soldiers who were dispatched to savage the Nazis. And they happily oblige. In one scene, Roth's character clubs a Nazi with a single violent swing of a Louisville Slugger. "If you thought Nazis died in 'The Dirty Dozen,' brother, you ain't seen nothing yet," film critic Harry Knowles writes on Ain'tItCool.com. Yesterday, we dropped Roth an e-mail to ask about his proficiency with a bat. "I think Boston fans are going to love [the movie], especially baseball fans," he replied. "In Boston, we use the baseball bat far more off the field than on, most often at traffic confrontations on Route 9." The "Cabin Fever" director said he and castmate B.J. Novak, also a Newton native, had the German crew talking with a Boston accent by the end of the shoot. "It was deeply satisfying to hear German crew members yelling such . . . gems as 'Put in the Steamer'," wrote Roth, a reference to former Sox reliever Bob Stanley. "I tried to teach them 'Bourquie, hit a slapper from the blue line,' but that was a little too advanced." Starring Brad Pitt, "Inglourious Basterds" opens in August."

am watching


devil wears prada and now I kinda really want bangs. also, i sort of want to just generally look like she does in this movie but i would probably get strange looks at the office if i started dressing up all the time.

in any case, lets put this to a vote, next time I get my hair done (am trying to hold out until April or May perhaps), should I get bangs? Can I pull it off? Should I perhaps cut my own bangs? thoughts?

You know I get swoony over men in 3 piece suits


Enjoy the dapper Depp. (Perhaps we can get this poster for la mere for mother's day?)

Esmee, the decider




Sooo, charles and I have a disagreement on men. I think that Ryan Reynolds looks like a better looking version of Dane Cook. Charles, on the other hand thinks he looks like Ryan Gosling with muscles. What do you think?
