bias update
obsession: the plays of William Shakespeare (cuz he never goes out of style)
boyfriend: Clive Owen in Duplicty
psyched: X-Men Origins: Wolverine (it’s gonna suck but Hugh Jackman will be half naked through half of it)
girl crush: Amy Adams in Sunshine Cleaning
dreading: X-Men Origins: Wolverine (Hugh Jackman will be half naked through half of it but it’s gonna suck)
enemy: everyone responsible for Knowing (but particularly Alex “Don’t Call Me M. Night Shyamalan” Proyas)
It’s the first new addition to the Bias Meter since I implemented it: girl crush. Cuz the gals don’t get enough recognition, sometimes even not from a gal critic and geek like me, and the especially cool ones deserve a shoutout.
My Shakespeare addiction has just gotten worse, because I just got an iPod Touch, and the first app I downloaded was a thing that offers every single word we know to attribute to the Bard: all the plays, all the poems, all the sonnets. Now I can read it all, anywhere I want, all the time. It’s like giving drugs to a junkie.

I would be interested in tracking your "boyfriend" throughout the year. What kind of trends are there? How often has it been David Tennant rather than some other bloke?
Oh. And now I need an iPod Touch. Really bad.
But first a new phone. I guess.

Please don't suck.
Thanks.

Well, I'm half hopeful, too.
Fixed the broken link. But it's just the category link at the top of the post.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine:
It doesn't suck. Go see it. It's a little meandering, lots of pointless fights with geek-pleasing cameo players, but...it's just so darned cool!
And while you're at it try to identify all the mutant cameos :)
