Apparently if you ever decide to take your clothes off for money, then go on to achieve anything notable, you will always and forever - - and usually right off the bat - - be described as a stripper.
Also, good for Cody. Always nice to see a blogger get an Oscar. [Always? Perhaps that was a first. Anyway…] But could we all please shut the fuck up about her now? She is clogging up my tubes.

I have no idea who won the Oscars. I don’t even know who was nominated.
Eight years ago I would have asked off work to be sure to watch it.

If I ever make a horror movie I would like to cast Paul Schaeffer as the scary monster guy. He freaks me out.

I had four teeny-tiny capsule reviews published in this issue of the Nashville Scene.

Dear Mr. Spielberg,
I was going to go see War of the Worlds, but now I am not. I was willing to forgive the turd pile that was A.I. because the trailer for your new movie was intriguing.
Then Tom Cruise went motherfucking batshit all over my television, dragging that skinny, empty-eyed Katie Holmes behind him talking about the evils of psychiatry. I am completely fed up with looking at his creepy center tooth and his evil, shifty eyes.
I know you might not miss my $8.50, but in case you do I thought you should know why.
Your boy is a serious wack-job.
A.I really was abysmal, man,
brittney

I was grumpy all day today. Not gumpy so much as annoyed. Pissy. Definitely pissy.
Then I came home and watched the trailer for this movie called March of the Penguins and now I can’t stop smiling. Even if you are currently eating ice cream, getting head and money is falling from the sky, stop what you are doing. (You know you are lactose intolerant.) You must watch this movie trailer. It can always be better.
(Thanks to bikeboy.)

This is not a cop-out for posting actual writing. But still, after listing the DVDs that I own I couldn’t stop there.
That’s right. You guessed it. I’m going to type the title of every movie I own on VHS. Because I am a total, freakish nerd.
Favorites are maked with an asterisk and again, the boyfriend’s movies are tagged [bf].

The Nashville Film Festival begins next Thursday and so it is time again for the Nashville Scene’s film festival guide Reel Nashville 2005. Within that link you will find five (Count ‘em. Five!) short film reviews written by none other than [*points thumbs at self*] this guy.
You should read them all, of course, but the ones by me will have my name all up after them.

There is this movie called Citizen Ruth that was written and directed by the guy who wrote and directed Sideways, a film that has inspired countless snickers if I even mention the word merlot at my tables. Citizen Ruth, for those who have yet to see it, is a satire about abortion and the right to life in this country. It stars Laura Dern, a pregnant, paint-huffing drifter who finds herself in the center of a national battle on determining the fate of her baby. Each side keeps raising the stakes higher and higher while Ruth, the only one who decides what happens to her baby, is manipulated and lied to and ignored.
I don’t want to spoil the ending for people who want to see it–it’s good, I highly recommend it–but I am constantly reminded of it as I read and watch reports of what is happening to Terry Schiavo. I am reminded of it when I hear that Congress subpoenaed Terry Schiavo to testify . When I heard that Bush was flying into Washington from his vacation to sign a bill that applies not to cases like hers, but specifically to her only, I was also reminded of Citizen Ruth.
Netflicksters and bit torrenters, I guess what I am saying is, now is a good time to see Citizen Ruth. Enjoyed with a glass of pinot noir, naturally.
