weekend movie round-up
i watched a buttload of movies this weekend. what's that you say? you want to know exactly what they were and what my impressions were of each and every one of them? ok!
we wanted to go see the hangover, but it was sold out. this is the third failed attempt to see this movie. maybe i should just go ahead and add it to my netflix queue...
so instead, we watched 2 netflixes. the first was a movie called spring breakdown, starring amy poehler, parker posey, rachel dratch, and kristin callavari. i had never heard of this movie until rachel dratch was on jimmy fallon the other night, and she told me i would really like it and i should watch it. it was pretty dumb, but made me laugh a sufficient number of times. i'd give it about: 6 or 7 biscuits.
after that, it was time for iron man. iron man 2 is coming out next year, and my roommies hadn't seen the first one, so i thought it was important. i've always loved iron man since the first time i saw it at the court street theater and did the iron man hover pose up the escalators with joel. so obvi, 11 biscuits!!!! also, have you noticed that iron man looks just like a blackberry pearl?
on saturday, it was really cloudy and rainy just like it is every day in nyc for the past month. and you know what that always puts me in the mood to watch, don't you? that's right. twilight!! jicydak, i think that movie is 11 biscuits!
on sunday, i woke up to the repurcussions of having 5 too many ginger fizzes at the bubble lounge, aka burble clurb, and was in quite a state. it was one of those lay-down-and-stay-down kind of days, and luckily i had revolutionary road on netflix too! this movie was a dooooozy, and while the themes were quite depressing, the acting was some of the best i've seen. 11 biscuits for sure!
then, i may or may not have watched twilight again. don't you guys wish new moon was out?
after a delicious movie-break dinner, we decided to peruse tho ol' hbo on demand, and came across a topical documentary called the queen and i, about the widow of the former iranian shah. she is still living in exile in paris, and the filmmaker is an iranian woman living in exile in sweden. she was a member of the communist party during the 1979 revolution in which the shah was overthrown. once former enemies....but now? n-e-ways, it was really good. 11 biscuits! check 'er out.
so that's all! what a weekend.

what is lola doing?
some of you may know our friends stacey and dale (dale is actually joel's frienemy...). well, these 2 tiny people have an adorably tiny little dog named lola.
age: 3 years old bio: "she is believed to be a rat terrier and chihuaha mix (a rat-cha if you will). she has all kinds of personality some may even say she's a diva."
diet: for breakfast, dry dog food with a scoop of crispix when available, however she prefers honey nut cheerios. her dinner usually includes 2 pieces of turkey pepperoni (watching her calories, it is pool season) and light sprinkle of cheese.
of course, she's a rabid (pun intended) volunteer fan, like any dog with half a brain would be. go vols!
the only thing she loves more than a fresh basket of warm laundry...
...is a nap in her favorite purple blanket. she's a bit of a burrower.
"she loves to snuggle all the time. her favorite spot is on the back of the couch around your neck so she can lay her head on your shoulder while watching the real housewives."lola is thrilled2tearz to meet you. she loves pen pals, so if you would like to know more about your new four-legged friend, feel free to drop her a line at:

thx stacey, dale, and lola for this candid look into a whimsical puppy life.
alice in wonderland - tim burton style
disney has released a couple of images from the upcoming tim burton directed alice in wonderland. thats johnny depp as the mad hatter, helena bonham carter as the red queen, and anne hathaway (yip yip) as the white queen.
obviously, its going to be a little darker than the already pretty dark animated movie from the past (jabberwocky anyone?). its also concieved as sort of a sequel, telling the story of alice's second coming to wonderland.
so excited.
Great White Sharks are exactly like Jeffrey Dahmer except they have fins and swim in the ocean and use their jagged gaping jaws as weapons, says a new report from scientists who were never heard from again. (gawker)thx g.

The steady rain has delayed countless city rituals: barbecues, baseball games, rooftop cocktail parties. Add to the list a funeral, rescheduled twice this week as mourners awaited an outlet for their collective grief.The deceased: Pretty Boy, the Mayor of East Seventh Street, a dignified white cat who had a confident swagger — and a distaste for rainy weather. Thus the long-delayed memorial service to sprinkle his cremated remains along the path he once strutted. (nytimes)
thx g.
what is precious doing?
remember this terrifying buffalo bill scene from silence of the lambs?
and remember when chris griffin got caught recreating it?

thx john for doing all the legwork. brb making a skin suit.
twatter
perez hilton used his twitter account to beg strangers to call the police on will.i.am of the black eyed peas after he supposedly assaulted perez. um...if he could update his twitter, how was he unable to call the cops himself? will.i.am has posted a response to the accusation on you tube. good lord, have some self respect. (LA times)
finally!
this just in from a secret source in nashville:Chipotle has a nice new shiny building permit at 2825 West End Ave, which an astute reader pointed out is the current home of Bittner’s Formal Wear. We went ahead and gave Bittner’s a call, and it is indeed true - They are moving across the parking lot, and Chipotle is taking their place. We hope this means that we could see Chipotle opening their doors before the end of the year, but we’ll have to wait for the official word.
congrats middle tennesseans! you've finally made it!
thx nanners!
guess what!
