Blow – stars Johnny, Penelope Cruz, & Franka Potente (also the unsinkable Paul Rubens aka peewee herman)
I loved Franka in this film… although it really glams up the drug life, it also depicts the reality of it as well… Read the full story

Deja Vu:
Pretty Cool. A wild ride. I liked this movie. I wont give away anything. See it if you like action, Denzel and a mildly cool ending. I would say the major problem with it was that they introduce you to this really cool thing that you want to know more about outside of the context of the story.. how it works, what else they are going to use it for, etc… but they tied it so deeply into this one plot that it wasnt the star of the movie, which it really should have been – then they could have done Deja Vu II, and III
It is pretty good and for some reason Jim Cavesial (not sure how you spell his name, Jesus in the Passion) chose to take a tiny role in this film.. which weirded me out.

Current mood:  cheerfulCategory: Life So one of my fave movies right now is Marie-Antoinette – I have been listening to the Sound Track Non-Stop! J’adore the “I Love Candy” sequence, because every now and then, i just want clothes, shoes, Jewlery and tons of fatty little cakes and champagne… without those days we will shrivel up and die… or at least i do…
Think of ways to pamper your brain, your soul, your body, your spirit… and be well.

Once Upon a time in a land far far… well it wasn’t that far… but pretty far.. Well..it was a good stretch of the legs from… well it all depends on where you are located actually perhaps it happened near by.. In any case, from where I live it is just a metrolink ride away.. So to get back to the point.
There once lived a poor but handsome, buff, sexy.. Muscular.. Tattooed sailor type, you know with the long hair and the full lips… tan and… *ahem* excuse me… Well, he lived in this old run down shack.. A hovel.. A lean-to.. It was actually his old man’s tool shed, after his father died.. Of some seedy disease, his step mother… who had two sons of her own.. One scrawny, the other of the extreme opposite body type… made him live in the tool shed.. He was forced to wait on his two un-manly type bros from sun up …well again to the next sun up.. And well it was a constant thing.
He had to serve them breakfast in bed.. Wash their clothes.. Clean the pool.. Feed the gerbil… He was even forced to do the marketing… (which he hated most of all).. From his tool shed on the hill, he could see the towers of a huge Mansion… Someone said that Madonna lived there.. But that story was unconfirmed.. When he had finished his chores… well he never finished his chores, bcz there was always more to do.. I mean the boy’s work was never done.. So in reality he would just take a cigarette break in between spin and rinse cycles.. And he would look up at the spires.. And dream of Princess Charming… he had met her Once Upon a Dream.. La la la da da da.. Oh… Well, he knew that someday.. She would come to rescue him from his impoverished state and kiss his dish pan hands.. And make it all better…
One day..I think it was in May… no it was too hot for may… and the Oscars had long since past.. It must have been July.. In any case– an invitation came to the family from the big mansion where Madonna supposedly lived.. Low and behold it was not from the Queen of Mainstream Porn, but instead from Princess Charming.. She had invited “EVERY” male in the city of Angels.. Actually in the County.. And the County of L.A… well that is a big … well it’s a lot of males..
The poor boy had nothing to wear and so he wept unabashedly into the pool as he cleaned it…
“Oh whoa is me” I think is what he said.. Or was it “Oh S**t! I’m screwed!” I can’t be sure..
Behold! A really wiggy thing happened then.. It wasn’t that shocking for those of us who live in Hollywood– but for all the rest of you..well— a fairy appeared.. The fairy wore the height of fashion from 1976.. His eyes gleamed from beneath his Afro and he spoke:
“Man, what you cryin’ for?” He said, and shifted position.
The poor boy looked up at the fairy, and after admiring his general splendor; told him all about his problem and not having any threads worthy of the party…
To make a long story short.. Which is too late–
POOF! He waved his– I not sure what he waved– but in a flash the poor but virile boy.. Was now dressed in a crystal suit… and the fairy POOFED here and there, and after excusing himself, he made a stretch limo complete with jacuzzi and video shorties appear and then he drove away in it…
The poor boy hopped the RTD (that’s the public bus) to the party, and as he entered the ball room everyone’s eyes turned to him.. The room fell silent, except for a few gasps, here and there.. And of course that annoying person who always coughs when it is silent in a crowded room! Perhaps it was his handsome face, or his six pack abs.. Or his majestic height, or the way he carried himself… but I think more likely it was the fact that you could see right through his suit…
Anyway, Princess Charming rushed over and was so overwhelmed by his—uh— personality.. That she asked him to marry her and take her name.. And live in her house and maybe even share some of her stuff… He said Yes! Yes1 yes! and she bought him a HUGE diamond ring, a fur coat, and a Lamborghini Diablo SV! And of all her conquests, he was her favorite.. She later wrote in her memoirs….
And they lived pretty happily till the divorce in the summer of… uhh.. Well it was sometime after the Northridge earthquake.. I remember that…

Current mood:  thoughtfulCategory: Movies, TV, Celebrities Bobby
A really well made film that chronicles the final hours before the assasination of Robert Kennedy including the lives of those who were also shot. You don’t see much of Bobby through out the film, and what you do see is actual real footage. His speech at the end played over the aftermath of the shooting is very moving and powerful. A great film. Demi Moore, Ashton Kutcher, William H. Macey, Heather Grahm, Shia LeBouf, Emilio Esteves, Lindsay Lohan, Elijah Wood, Sharon Stone (who looks like hell in it), Christian Slater, Helen Hunt, Anthony Hopkins, Harry Belefonte, Martin Sheen – everyone did a great job. Not a blockbuster or a great entertainment film, but worth renting… well done, Emilio! |

apatheticThe Diana Chronicles is a really good book. Although her life has been SO dramatized, scrutinized and publisized – this book still manages to be revealing in a way that makes you think of Diana in a whole new light. Not all good, not all bad, just human. So much in fact that I saw a lot of myself in her choices and mistakes. The arch of maturity as she grew and became stronger was just like any other girl who marries too young.
The timing and unbiased way Tina Brown presents the information, not favoring Diana or Charles or the Queen or the Press makes the story all the more interesting. I really had no idea how long Camilla had been in his life and how much was going on inbetween the lines.
If you have even a slight interest in the Royals or Diana, this will be a good read. It also exposes alot about the royal life style, limitations and backstory.
READ IT!

Current mood:  determinedCategory: Life I am always talking… and doing, but talking first… I talk a lot about what I want to do, what i will do, what i am working on.. about ideas that spring up and opportunities that may be captured… I am not frivolous in my choices… but i have realized that the ferver with which i put ideas and considerations out there makes some people wonder if I have clear focus and direction at all… rest assured that I do… there are simply many means to my end.. I used to think people understood when i gushed on inspiration and ideas in a heated moment that this is as natural to me as breathing.. i dont think about whether or not i should.. i just do… ideas… they are always floating around me – inside me- active when I am awake and even when I am sleeping.. ideas, concepts, inventions, businesses, and designs… a constant parade of thought bubbles… i couldnt stop them if i had a cork… I suppose most people keep these thoughts on the DL unless they intend to be about them right away… or perhaps they simply only have a limited amount of ideas about what they can do or will do or might do in life… i rarely see people who hold back making more progress than those who gush.. but i do notice that people who gush can become discouraged by those around them who dampen the concepts because they are not immediately possible, or even remotely probable… i dont let it get to me.. most of the time.
I do what i do and am the way i am because i am in a constant state of inspiration and sometimes vision… it would be better sometimes to have rest from it, but i dont have that choice… i have a day job, so my other creative projects fumble and bounce along on the waves of my minds wake. its very sad, but now i know why artists were always starving.. you simply cannot be a successful, well-paid person with a good but demanding career and also create for pleasure.. i create on a daily basis for profit… and that is okay too.. someday i hope to buy my castle in the south of France.. convert it into livable space.. “Nomalimo!” and fritter away my days creating stories… Sappy pathetic little me Id trade you places any day Oh you came in with the breeze Youre trying my shoes on for a change Oh you came in with the breeze I know who I am, but who are you? You came in with the breeze Ooh on sunday morning
