I'm fed up with Spaces. It's unbearably slow. It took me 10 minutes just to make this post. I'm moving my blog to http://ptousig.livejournal.com/ The RSS feed is http://ptousig.livejournal.com/data/rss

A movie about Jane Austen's life... I like Jane Austen. And by that, I mean I liked all the movies I've seen that were based on Jane Austen books. I didn't read the books. That would be silly. She only wrote like six books and they've all been made into several movies. Besides, in this movie we learn that she's a total hoax. Pride and Prejudice didn't come from her imagination. It's a direct transcript of her real life. What a fraud! Anne Hathaway looks good though :-)

If this movie was truly awful, I'd have a lot of dog-related expressions to use to describe it. Unfortunately, it doesn't quite deserve to be trashed that badly. It doesn't deserve to be seen either, though. It's probably best to simply pretend it never existed.

Sunshine Shiny. That means 'good' for you Firefly non-fans. The Sun is dying. What you gonna do? Nuke it, of course. Spoilers ahead... And that is what the crew of the Icarus 2 are going to do. Nuke the Sun. What happened to Icarus 1? Glad you asked. Icarus 1 went silent just before reaching the Sun. Nobody's heard from them in 7 years. Given the size of the Sun, what do you think the odds are that Icarus 2 is going to arrive in the same general vicinity as Icarus 1? That will be the first in a series of amazing coincidences, mistakes, and misfortunes. The first mistake is made by the navigation officer. Really. How hard can it be to be a navigation officer on a spaceship heading straight toward the Sun? I'll adjust our trajectory using the position of the stars. Which of these stars should I use as a reference point? Hmmm... gee... I don't know... maybe that big giant one heading straight for us! But maybe I'm being unfair. His mistake was not in the actual ...

No Reservations I saw the sneak preview of No Reservations last night, the Catherine Zeta-Jones romantic comedy. I love sneak previews. I especially love filling out the little surveys they pass out. I imagine there's a statistician somewhere at Nielsen Media Research who looks at my form and dismisses it as a statistical aberration. One of the question was: How many movies have you seen in a theater in the last 2 months? And the choices are: 1, 2, 3 to 5, 6 or more. It only goes up to six? That's less than a movie a week!!! I answered "6 or more", but then wrote "30+" on the side :-) Then it asked: Which of the following movies have you seen in a theater? Followed by a list of a dozen or so movies. I checked all but one (I never saw "The Lake House").
