Finally saw Oz, the Great and Powerful this weekend. I must say that everyone who said Franco was miscast could not be more correct. For a good actor, he was really...flat. And I mourn for how awesome RDJ would have been.
Spike: Heard what happened up top, offing your dad and all. Don't know if you know this, but, uh…I killed my mum. Actually, I'd already killed her, and then she tried to shag me, so I had to-- Wesley: Thank you. I'm…very comforted.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Saw 42 last night. It was very old fashioned and totally movie-of-the-week in tone, but I still really liked it. The actress who plays Rachel Robinson is amazeballs.

I saw 42 yesterday also. I enjoyed it a lot. I'm such the target audience that I didn't get the movie-of-the-week vibe. I have game tickets today, which is Jackie Robinson day.

I watch Titanic for costume/set dressing porn, because all of that is GORGEOUS. And because I'm easily emotionally manipulated by media, if I watch through the ship sinking, I sob at the scene of the elderly couple in the bed.

the elderly couple in the bed.
I can't remember their names, but she refused to get in the lifeboat without him, he naturally wouldn't go yet, so she quite calmly walked away from the boats.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
The Strauses, right?

Sounds right. I was thinking Strauss and going, "No, that's waltzes."

Yeah, Ida and Isidor Straus. Macy's! [link] (I know this because I used to live across from Straus park.)

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
Yeah, it's not so much a "too popular" issue as a "stop telling me what to do with my time, even nicely" issue for me.
I love the clothing styles from the Titanic period. If I ever got married, I'd probably see about finding something similar to one of Rose's outfits as a wedding dress (money and time permitting).
