Oh, yes. I watched this movie. Shiyiya came over to hang out and since I’d forced about sixteen episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer down her throat (for her cultural education!), I had to give in and watch at least one thing she wanted to.
Word of advice? Never be polite. You’ll end up seeing Paris [...]
For awhile there, it seemed like I was never going to see Salt. I got jerked around on three separate occasions–every time we said we were going to a movie, I got out-voted. I didn’t really mind when I would up seeing Inception, but when I lost out to Despicable Me? Holy shit, I was [...]

For the record, I did not want to see this movie; I wanted to see Salt. Because I love watching Angelina Jolie do accents and kill people.

Anyway, the first issue of the Mankiller Digest was sent out earlier this afternoon. In it, I included links to all of this week’s [...]

I rented this without realizing it was a Kevin Spacey movie–which is a good thing, because if I had known? Let’s just say that my Spacey track record isn’t that great. Take a gander:
American Beauty: Creepy and sanctimonious
The Life of David Gale: Creepy and sanctimonious

The Usual Suspects: [...]

A couple of moves ago, Erika was going through her crap to see what she could throw away and came upon some of my juvenilia.
Yeah, I have juvenilia. You do, too. Don’t even try to pretend you don’t.
