Am I a 16 year old girl?

I'm beginning to think so. Hell, I thought the Hills was the most entertaining show I've seen in a long time. I love chain smoking Parisians and Lauren's "dilemma" of what to do with her burned ball gown. We should all have such problems. But I do love the show, even if, for some reason, they keep Heidi and Spencer on the show. They are just blahsville.

I caught American Idol as well. Pretty mediocre. What's with "God Bless the U.S.A."? I know I'm going to sound un-American but I've never liked that song. It's so OTT. I'm still routing for David Cook or Michael Johns. I'll try to concentrate on non-reality stuff soon with the film festival coming up. I'll post a list of potential viewings. I know for sure that I'm seeing Deadline USA with Humphrey Bogart.

Yeah Ace Hardware

All I've been doing the past week is trying to catch up on my DVRed programs and packing. Just a little buying tip, Ace Hardware sells the best cheap gardening gloves (good for gripping heavy boxes.) So yeah to them.

In DVR land (as Comcast doesn't let you bring your box with you when you move - whatever.) We started watching La Passion de Jeanne d'Arc which is just beautiful. I finished watching Lipstick Jungle which turned out to be pretty good and I still have a zillion episodes of Prison Break to watch (yes, I'm the one viewer of that show.)

In guilty pleasure land, I've been watching bits of America's Best Dance Crew on MTV. Go Jabbawockeez:)

Where are all the posts?

I'm getting ready to move and I've been twittering a lot. I've taken to doing mini-reviews on there. Skip Separate Tables. Snoozeville people. David Niven is good but the rest of the story is blah. I'll blog about the Kingdom soon and of course the film festival. Very excited about them showing Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (the silent one) with live music by Golden Ball. I'll be working the Prince so stop by and see me:)

My and SNL's tribute to Project Runway winner Christian

Don't Tell Me

I have to DVR Project Runway tonight so no one is allowed to tell me the winner but I predict Christian will be "in."

In non-Runway news, my thoughts go out to the Swayze family as Road House great, Patrick is apparently ill with pancreatic cancer. Here's hoping for a speedy recovery.

Oscars - this is as far as I got

For the lowest rated Oscars, there were actually a few surprises and some really wonderful moments. Chiefly, Tilda Swinton's win for best supporting actress. I've always liked her because she's such a maverick but yet manages to balance Hollywood roles with her more avaunt-guard ones.

Javier Bardem's speech was lovely when he, while not a surprise, won best supporting actor. I always support when who aren't native English speakers, talk in their own language. Plus, for me, he was the best dressed of the night. Three cheers for Javier.

The rest of the night felt like the usual fare. Some bits were funny (the ridiculous montages) and others were not (the baby awards - oy vey!) I was mildly shocked by Marion Cotillard's win for La Vie En Rose (which I haven't seen so I can't comment on.) I felt the younger actresses dressed to old for the occasion (Miley Cyrus and Ellen Page.) I was happy for the Cohens and Diablo Cody winning best adapted and best original screenplays respectively.

All in all in satisfying night (and blessedly short.)
