Movies and clothing choices

melliciousOK, apparently I have stuff to say about movies and awards shows and such. For one thing, there's this link: Is Black Swan the Art-House Version of Showgirls? I haven't seen Black Swan and probably won't since I managed to spoiler myself for it, and I saw Showgirls once and barely remember it, but that piece is still pretty funny.
About True Grit: for one thing, I forgot until the end credits that it was a Coen Brothers movie, something that was certainly not possible in any other movie of theirs that I've seen. It did explain some of the wackier supporting characters, but other than that they seem to have actually made a straight western, which I would think was really strange except that it worked so damn well. (I don't know why I've been saying "damn" so much lately. Damn, damn, damn, damn, damn. Well, there are worse things I could say, for certain. For damn certain.)
---------------------------------
It was still late Sunday night, more or less, when I wrote the above, but now it's Monday, and in the meantime most of the things I wanted to say about the Golden Globes have already been said by the Fug girls. Seriously: for example, about Natalie Portman and Christina Hendricks. And this imaginary conversation between Brad & Angelina is so wonderfully apropos. (Although I also think Brad looks weirdly like Leonardo DiCaprio in that picture.) (Here's the slideshow, if you want the short version.)

columbina has tweeted once too often about the Star Trek movie, and so I am going to watch it now. (And actually sit and watch for once, instead of sit in front of the computer and half-watch, like I usually do.)
