Think, Movies - Lost in Translation, Shows - Arrested Development - Buster, friends, running free, peter, time to do some drinking, unbrellas, open road, flip flops, jim, dancing skirt, butterfly, summer love, Shows - DLM - omg
I started watching Domino a couple days ago and still have yet to finish it. I think its because I can only take that movie in small doses. The first time, I started watching it late and couldn't keep up because I was tired, and last night I seriously was about to scream at it to STOP! I understand now what people were talking about with the editing. It's like a nonstop drug trip. Now that can be cool, and I was digging it at first, but there is one scene in particular that I just wanted it to look normal so I could see what was going on and I found the whole thing frustrating. I have about 20 minutes left to watch tonight and though I'm inlove with the soundtrack, the editing and Keira Knightly (who I'm a fan of) in particular I find grating. I don't think I'll be speaking too highly of it in the end.

But anyway...lets see, House was the shit last night. Not as great as last week, but still great. I loved the moment when House sees Cameron in her dress. I thought that was handled very well. And dude, Cuttey. I love her. I really think she's my favorite character on the show. The dynamic in the scene between her, House and Wilson, was great. I wish we could get more scenes with them together like that.

Oh and another thing. It was like Christmas going through my closet last night. I was determined to weed through my shoes and I really underestimated how many pairs I've bought since I've been here. Though I tossed out a bag full and separated out another one that I'm donating to my step-mom's yard sale, I still have too many to take to with me and I can't bear to get rid of anymore. Also in my closet, I found a box that had some of my favorite jewelery from a year ago. Stuff I was thinking about lately and wondering what ever happened to it. I was giddy when I found it. So, today I'm rocking a shell necklace in anticipation of a summer at the beach.

I think you need to watch Domino (and other movies like it, editing wise-- Moulin Rouge comes to mind) while on a serious caffeine high. That's how I watched it and I really liked it. Just a good, mostly enjoy-it-but-forget-about-it-the-next-day type of movie. I loved the "celebrity hostages" though.... oh, Brian Austin Green....

House was freakin' awesome-- I actually liked this week's ep more than last week's, especially that little House-Cameron moment. And despite the fact that this week's Big Disease!Revelation truly seemed last minute. I love the House-Wilson relationship, but for some reason I really can't stand Cuddy. I think this may have something to do with my general dislike of the actress.

I'm dreading the day I'll have to move anywhere because the sheer about of crapstuff that I've accumulated is truly frightening. Good luck with all the cleaning out and let me know if I can take some books off your hands.... =P

hey dude, speaking of books. i have a crap load if you want them. we should meet up this weekend or something (Im dying to see Thank You for Smoking) and you can come check out what i've got to see if you want any.

and yes, i love the 90210 connection in Domino. that's one of my favorite things about it. i also really like Choco. that pained kinda love thing (though even after a drug indused car wreck there's always time for a sex scene).

I really wanna see that, too. Unfortunately I'm working all weekend. How about Monday or Wednesday? Those are the only two days I'm free next week; plus I'll be in the city on Monday anyway for a doctor's appointment. Let me know where the movie's playing, and what time is good.

I see you figured out the movie list thing. Yay! =)

House was fantastic! I love Cuddy and House's relationship, how they are ALWAYS bickering at each other, it's hilarious. I also love House and Wilson (honestly I'm not trying to sound like I'm pairing them like that), how they're best friends, dysfunctional but they need each other. Wilson's my favourite of the bunch. :D Lately I've felt so bad for him in recent episodes though, it's quite sad. But I did love how they were all dressed up, I love that the show doesn't only take place inside the hospital.

Finding long lost jewlery is such a great thing.
