dear Starling,
lets watch movies together.
star trek was amazing. i could not
believe how much i liked it and how
into it i was. mm .. doctor spock.
i am still waiting to see 500 days of
summer and the brothers bloom. we
are moving this week maybe i’ll get
around to it the day after thanksgiving.
Lord knows i’ll be busy sitting around
just digesting my sweet potatoes.
Big ups for your choice of Star Trek, Zombieland, and well, Up. However, November’s a bit early for me to compile an end-of-year list. The Oscar-bait doesn’t get put on the hook until December! “Invictus” looks incredible (Matt Damon, Morgan Freeman, rugby, racial themes, and Clint Eastwood!) and although I haven’t decided whether I have a strong enough stomach to see it yet, “Precious” has been wowing the festival circuit. All that, and so much more awaits!
Fantastic Mr. Fox is on my must see immediately list. The Road will be amazing, and I think Sherlock Holmes looks pretty rad.
Sherlock Holmes looks great i think and even if it’s lame, Rachel McAdams and Jude Law are enough eye candy to keep both sexes content for the duration.
Def. wanna see FMr.F but really really really want to see The Blind Side. Maybe with my family so i can cry a lot and they’ll ask me why i’m crying so much and then we’ll have a discussion about loving people different from you and probably everyones lives will change.
Yes, also looking forward to Fantastic Mr. Fox, Invictus, and Sherlock Holmes. (I love most of Guy Ritchie’s movies. If you haven’t seen Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels, go and rent it now!) I am also really looking forward to seeing The Frog Princess. Keeping my fingers crossed that it’s going to be Disney’s triumphant return to 2D animation, in spite of a Randy Newman soundtrack. (Ugh, Randy Newman.)
Starling and I saw Fantastic Mr. Fox tonight, and it was cussin’ great!
