is the correct spelling. it’s a movie about the future, when you have to have the right genetic makeup to get anywhere in life. ethan hawke doesn’t have it, but uma thurman does even though she has a bad heart, and jude law REALLY does, except he’s in a wheelchair and is a big mess and i can’t even remember why he’s in the wheel chair but boy is he cute.
uma and ethan met during the filming of this movie, i believe, and i saw them more than once in santa monica, at the farmer’s market or strolling around, and they seems like a nice, regular couple - but then it all went to hell, as relationships in hollywood have a tendency to do.
i feel that one big problem with relationships in hollywood is when beautiful movie stars are in movies with other beautiful movie stars and they do a lot of kissing and heavy petting, and then, poof, they’re in love with this beautiful movie star even though they’re ALREADY married to a BMS.
like, for example, jennifer aniston and brad pitt and angelina jolie. but then again, i kept hearing that the issues was JA’s drug use, not that angelina is cuter or anything shallow like that.
it’s all that kissing, i’m telling you. they always CLAIM that it’s all very non-arousing, because there are all those people hovering around when they’re filming something, but let’s face it, they’re MOVIE STARS so they probably LIKE THE ATTENTION. kissing plus people are watching them kiss.
how did i get on this topic anyway? it’s the almost nonstop movie watching we’ve been doing, as kevin continue to be sick. he’s napping right now so he can GO TO WORK tonight which seems like a very bad idea to me since he’s not all better, but he says he needs another note from the doctor in order to continue stay home getting better.
crazy.
meanwhile, today we watched “bottle rocket,” which is kind of quirky independent film with both luke and wilson in it, and we also watched “miss congeniality 2,” which was just about as formulaic as a movie can be, but it was still fairly entertaining.
yesterday was “sideways” which kevin says we watched after i went to it without him quite a while ago and HATED it but only because i was in a very bad mood. he keeps assuring me that we saw it again and i liked it, and it frightens me a little that i have ABSOLUTELY NO MEMORY of seeing it the second time.
we also watched “calendar girls” last night, which was charming. and then “rock star,” also pretty good.
actually, i’ve seen most of the movies we’ve watched, because i wanted to get ones that he’d like. i rented a movie called “cake,” though, because it was called CAKE, and it sounded like there was a remote chance of it being good even though i don’t know if it was actually released anywhere. it’s about a woman, heather graham, who also executive-produced it, who is very anit-marriage and she has to be the editor of her dad’s bridal magazine, and all the usual stuff ensues. but it wasn’t horrible.
and that’s the thing - i mean, this movie wasn’t great but it also wasn’t hideously bad. but what about movies like “failure to launch,” which i didn’t actually see, but it’s all over the video store shelves and i heard that it was really rotten. but so why didn’t “cake” at least make it out there more? it’s all about the publicity and everything, i guess.
not that life has JUST been watching movies all week, no way, jose. just today we looked at a house for sale across the street because there was an open house. and then we drove to the new restaurant called the corner pub, and we drove in my dad’s NEW CADILLAC. well, it’s not actually new, but it’s new to him. very large and very fancy and dad seems quite delighted with it. he bought it on tuesday but nobody told us about it because dad likes things to be a surprise.
it’s very comfy and luxurious, riding in the back of a cadillac. WITH a sun roof.
a new year...a new year...i feel that i must TAKE ACTION. somehow. i feel the need to TAKE SOME ACTION. as far as i can see, there’s nothing to audition for. mac and jason had talked about another ADHD production, around valentine’s day, but either that’s not happening, or they’re doing it without me. and none of the plays coming up have any parts for me, not nowhere. hmm. must take some action. somehow.
i need to do another “gracetalk,” this one in a legitimate theater space with videos and all that stuff plus i’d like to write some stuff the other people could be in besides me.
but i have this awful january lethargy, i’m afraid. creeping lethargy.
maybe i’ll snap out of it real soon. you never know. in the meantime, more videos to watch.
ok ok ok,
grace. 2007.
