12:28 a.m. - 2004-01-30 Sean Penn. This man knows how to deliver what looks to be a perfect hug to a grief stricken woman. This is an art and he has mastered it. Holly Anderson's accent. That's my friend from Kentucky, whom just a few of you had had the pleasure of meeting. The "luxuries" line from Bath and Body Works: have you TRIED the purely silk body lustre lotion? Ooh la la. Febrese, the lazy person's laundry machine in a bottle. A hug from a familiar person who is bigger and stronger than you. An unfamiliar person hugging you would just be weird, and probably a little alarming.
Things that are NOT lovely: The movie 21 Grams. This movie makes you feel one of two ways: 1. I hope I get hit by a bus on the way out of this movie theater. 2. I am terrified I or someone I love is going to get hit by a bus very soon. And if that doesn't happen, I will probably get old alone and die alone. This movie is not about buses but it SURE is about death and grief and aloneness. Bethany and I have both plummeted into depression as a result of it. Please excuse our bad moods that will most likely be marked by erratic, selfish behavior, unresponsiveness, unusual interest in or fear of dying and elevated desire for things like chocolate. Except for that whole Sean Penn hugging thing, the film made me feel hopeless, afraid and pretty much overall horrible. Seriously, don't see this movie unless "Saving Private Ryan" really cheered you up. And I'm not even weighing in the absolutely TERRIFYING trailer about the new zombie movie "Dawn of the Dead" that is coming out. Holy Crap. I don't think I can sleep. And I'm in Seattle. That is too cheezy for words. |
