If I Were A Richmond



Come on. Tell me you wouldn't miss this face if it left you for two years...

Yeah. Now you understand.

Good luck, Smeagol...

Claire And Present Danger

Changes.
David Bowie liked 'em, so why not I?

For those of you who actually go to my blog, as opposed to getting my RSS feed, you'll notice some changes:

- New blog picture! I like it. Sure, it's derivative of some of my previous work, but whatever. I'm never against stealing from myself. Or Stanley Kubrick.

- I've officially changed the title to THE Haberdasher's Guide to blah blah blah. The reasoning behind this change is because I would always get confused which it was while making my new blog pictures, and this time, I actually didn't even think about it. It just came out The. So The it is. Not A. The.

The end.

Weirdsies

I saw some movies this last year. Some were good. Others weren't. Here's my list.

1. District 9 - Sci-Fi gets terrestrial, and it soars both visually and thematically.

2. Up - Did I mention this one makes me cry?

3. Up In The Air - I can very much see myself becoming Ryan Bingham, and it frightens me.

3. The Hurt Locker - Eric: you weren't the only one with sweaty palms.

5. A Serious Man - I long to be the third Coen Brother.

6. Fantastic Mr. Fox - Bliss. This film was like coming home after a long day in the snow.

7. Where The Wild Things Are - To say I didn't relate to this one would be a bold-faced lie.

8. Inglourious Basterds - If only the war had ended like that...

9. Avatar - On a purely visceral level, this film would be tops. But it has a so-so story, so it gets the Nine Spot.

10. Star Trek - Man alive, do I want to be besties with J.J. Abrams. Why? So I can work on cool movies like this.

11. Moon - Finally saw it just this last Wednesday. Mind-blowing performance, Sammy. Here's your bra.

12. Julie and Julia - I love me some Meryl Streep, so sue me.

13. Coraline - Stop-motion strikes again!

14. (500) Days of Summer - Too post-modernly cute for its own good, but I enjoyed what it had to say about love.

15. Taken - Whoa. Taken?... Yep. Cause it rocked. And cause I wanted fifteen items on the list.


D'ya wanna know what I didn't enjoy?

1. Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen - Pure, techno-nonsense.

2. X-Men Origins: Wolverine - Sorry, but Wolverine isn't that interesting.

3. G.I. Joe: Rise of the Cobra - I think that's what it was called. Talk about memorable!

4. New Moon - I actually didn't see it, but I'm sure I would have hated it.

5. I don't see a lot of bad movies, so I can't think of a fifth.

6. Surrogates - I completely neglected to remember this one. So, it shouldn't be a surprise as to why it's on THIS list...
