Went back to the city for the long. Much fun was had.
I really missed my friends.
Saturday was possibly the girliest day I've ever spent. Went garage-saling, saw a movie, hung, baked a cheesecake, wore mascara. (Me. Bake. No one died.) Sunday and Monday were variations on the theme with various other friends.
As for movies:
TROY: I know, I know, you all hated it. And, okay, the majority of the acting was mediocre, and the statues were ugly, and blahblahblahcontinuity, but. It was fun. However, I did spend quite a bit of time sitting there, going "His heel! Shoot for his heel!"
Sean Bean? Is bloody brilliant. And there was gratuitous use of naked Brad Pitt.
STARSKY AND HUTCH: They're so doing each other. Really all I have to say.
50 FIRST DATES: I'm not a huge Adam Sandler fan, but this was rather amusing at times. I like that at the end, love didn't make everything magically right. (Well, not *everything.*)
Movie that you should all see, that I never got around to rec'ing: THE LAST SAMURAI. Bloody well brilliant. I often actively dislike Tom Cruise, but this movie made me forget it. Wonderful supporting cast, gorgeous scenery, and a well-crafted script. The first thing I said when I walked out of the theatre was 'That was good.' I don't think I snarked during it more than once or twice, and for me, these are both rather astounding happenstances.

Sean Austin, it seems to me, has a future ahead of him.
The actors from LotR, the ones who got the most publicity off of the movie? Might actually be worse off. Elijah Wood is always going to be known as Frodo, especially since he started wearing the blue contacts all the time. I think Viggo has a fair chance of always being seen as Aragorn, and Liv Tyler of Arwen. Sean Bean is coming up roses (and how very much do I love that man?) and Ian McClellan (sp?) is too well known to hold on to Gandalf. Orlando is likely going to be reference as Legolas, I think, but his 'teen' heartthrob status disrupts this somewhat.
--And maybe I'll just step back from that tangent now.
