I'm inclined to say it is gendered in that way, but don't have any data to put my hands on.
...because God knows you need some satisfaction in life besides shagging Captain Cardboard! And I never really liked you anyway. And you have stupid hair!

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I have said it about men, but I'm not sure the culture does.

I'm now on a Joseph Gordon-Levitt kick, and so rented The Lookout. For some reason I was afraid of watching that movie. I can't recall if I was afraid of the abuse of memory-loss as a plot point ("we're making him our point man because he'll never remember that he helped us rob a bank!") or because I was afraid of a sad ending (seriously, the trailer is the last half-hour of the movie). I want to rewatch Brick, but am sure that I bought that already, and am hesitant to buy it again because it's no longer on this current iteration of laptop.
But, Lookout was good. I'm not sure it was consistent with the cognitive stuff, and the chicks dropped off the radar fast (but they made that easy to bear by making sure Luvlee got dumber and dumber the more screentime she got).

We're watching The Hobbit for the second time in 24 hours, and I am quite glad we didn't take the kids to see it at the theater, because of the length. The only thing that really scared Dillo (6) was the ringwraith bit (not the wargs, which surprised me - those are scary!).
I think Martin Freeman is very, very good. I keep saying, "I love Bilbo." He has such excellent timing.

I hope the franchise propels him on to a prominent career.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Went to Olympus Has Fallen last night and it pretty much SUCKED.

We went to see the Hobbit again yesterday, too. Bilbo has always been my favorite Hobbit, too, and Martin Freeman just makes him better. The Bilbo-Gollumn scenes are just wonderful, especially when Bilbo decides not to kill him.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Having now played Bilbo, Arthur Dent, and John Watson, I'm more or less convinced that Martin Freeman is the perfect Englishman.

Oh, really? The review in the SF Chronicle was pretty good. Huh.
