trailer break: ‘Saving Marriage’
Take a break from work: watch a movie trailer… I can’t believe we’re still arguing over this in 2008… Saving Marriage opens in San Francisco October 10, in NYC, LA, Boston, and Denver October 17.
Month: October 2008
Nick & Norah’s Infinite Playlist (review)
It’s like *Ferris Bueller’s Night Out,* but way less snarky and way sweeter, and the whole gang is Ferris.
watch it: “neopagans chanting at Stonehenge”
I shot this at Stonehenge last Monday, September 29, in the early morning: Someone asked in comments — which I’m slowly catching up on — to my previous post on Stonehenge how I was able to get so close to the stones. No, English Heritage, which manages the site has not rescinded its restrictions on … more…
speaking of mirror images…
I ran into this other chick in England who kinda looked like me: This occurred at her house: Which doesn’t look like mine at all. For one, she has a backyard: This is Blenheim Palace, near Oxford, and the chick is Sarah Churchill, the first Duchess of Marlborough — the palace is still the family … more…
two chicks walk into a bar…

Take a break from work: watch a movie trailer… It’s every ain’t-my-family-crazy-at-Christmas movie you’ve ever seen, except this crazy-family-that’s-just-like-every-other-family is Hispanic. This is what we call progress. Nothing Like the Holidays opens wide December 12.

Friday fun! Here’s a screen capture from one of the DVDs in my collection (and it’s definitely from a movie, not a TV show). Guess the movie for fun and, well, fun. No prizes, just bragging rights. But hey: one guess per comment — no fair hogging all the guesses.
‘Sanctuary’ debuts tonight on Sci Fi
It’s a little bit *Matrix*y, a little bit *Hellboy*ish, a little bit *Buffy,* a little bit *Beauty and the Beast* (the Ron Perlman/Linda Hamilton urban fantasy, that is). So I can’t believe how really boring the pilot is.
