Hustle and Flow

We saw Hustle and Flow last night. It was pretty good, thought I'm not sure I like the final message: if you almost kill somebody and get put in jail, it will help you make the big time. Anthony Anderson put on a surprisingly good performance. I like him more and more as I see him in stuff, whether it's Transformers or Law & Order. Terrence Howard was also pretty solid, though about the least violent pimp I've seen portayed on film.

I'm not Impressed

I warned him! Now he's in my blog.

Now, here's a Jonas Brothers' video:

Dark Knight 2.0

We saw "The Dark Knight" once again last night, and it definitely holds up. It's a truly amazing movie that will be the standard for adult superhero movies. Since this was the first time we saw "The Dark Knight" outside of IMAX, it was also the first time to see the previews before it. I read an interview w/the director/writer of the new "Watchmen" movie and i thought it seemed like it could be good enough to be in league "The Dark Knight." Now that I've seen the preview for it, I'm pretty sure it will stand on equal footing w/the "The Dark Knight."

Stick that in your cap!

Whale Talk

You could have told me I'd be crying at 2 in the morning trying not to shake the bed with my sobs. I should have known a quarter of the way through the book. What tragedies fear brings. What triumph does forgiveness. Thank you for this journey.

Amazing

I saw a deer today on my way to work. It was just after I dropped Akemi off at her work. It sprinted out in front of my car as I approached a stop sign. It came out of this 1 block sized park and was headed up towards Washington Park. It was beautiful. Thankfully it wasn't injured and seemed to be heading the right way. It's weird, but I feel a very strong connection with that deer, like it was my friend. I am definitely in awe at the odd happenings of my life.
