Quite a number of things...

rubykatewriting* If this latest Grey's spoiler regarding the end of last week's episode is true, I may just have to start watching again. I've always dug that idea. (WARNING: that page contains spoilers for Grey's Anatomy, Heroes, and Lost, so please click with caution.)
* Last night's HIMYM was pre-empted for Frasier reruns. WTF, CBS?
* Caught Premonition and Wild Hogs this weekend. (Re: WH - MOM MADE ME DO IT! She finally cashed in her birthday movie.) Ahem. WH was just as blah as I knew it would be, but the running gag for Travolta's character seemed especially pathetic. It felt waaaay too forced. However, Premonition surprised me. It turned out to be more about faith and belief and love than the actual premonitions Linda was experiencing, and the ending was surprisingly affecting. Also? Sandy Bullock, baby, I knew you had that performance in you after Hope Floats. It's good to see you shine.
* Saw some wonderful trailers (at least before Premonition. I think the AMC folks realized what they were foisting on us with Wild Hogs so they just decided to cut right to the chase after three trailers. THANK YOU, BTW.):
- Waitress - Nathan Fillion! With clearly blue eyes (finally)! Keri Russell! With a believable southern accent! It actually looks quite lovely. Sad that Adrienne Shelley isn't around to realize her success.
- The Ex. The one with Zach Braff, Amanda Peet and Jason Bateman. I'll probably see it, but with a little apprehension. I think the combo of ZB and JB could be comedy gold (and the trailer proves this); however I would rather avoid the UN!COMFORTABLENESS of another Meet the Parents. I can only handle a man getting the shit kicked out of him (both by his own hand and circumstances out of his control) for so long before I wonder why he doesn't just pick up the meager scraps of his dignity and beat feet.
* Random question for the flist: since Robert Rodriguez is apparently fucking Rose McGowan now, does that mean we're going to end up with her in all his future cinematic endeavors? Because, no. He pretty much lost me with Sin City, but if that's going to be the way it is from here on out, we're through. RR, we are officially broken up. (And it hurts me so since you're a very loyal Texan and film here [almost?] exclusively.)
* Oh! Finally got around to watching Casino Royale, and now find myself in the strange predicament of finding Daniel Craig a little bit attractive. And I'm actually looking forward to the next installment. What the HELL, man? BRAIN STOP BETRAYING ME!

That sucks! It was a good one.
"Waitress" looks so lovely. I can't wait to see it.

Date: 2007-03-20 07:32 pm (UTC)Well, I've had a soft spot for them since the beginning simply because their friendship has always been so awesome. It wasn't a must, but they were always my favorite characters and I didn't completely hate the idea. But in a way it's already royally screwed because of the way the storyline is unfolding.
That sucks! It was a good one.
Well, I remember seeing some weirdo recording time for it on the DVR so I'm hoping I'll have it waiting for me when I get home. What I can't understand is why Frasier of all shows. That was an NBC show, for one, and also, just, HELLO RANDOM.
"Waitress" looks so lovely. I can't wait to see it.
Ditto.
