He's Just Not that Into You

Saw this movie last week. It was very well done, smart and funny, and also poignant and, at times, cringe-worthy.

A scene from the movie:

And here is the actor, Bradley Cooper, explaining his character (the married man who couldn't make a decision):

There were some very good points made. At one point, the single girl comes up to her two friends (one married, one in a committed long-term relationship) and announces that she has figured it out: whenever a girl is in a situation with a guy who's a jerk, or won't commit, there is invariably a friend who says something like "oh, i knew a girl who was dating a guy just like that, and now they are happily married!" The single girl says "But that girl is the exception. In reality most of us are the rule." She was trying to point out that we all give each other false hope instead of grounding each other in reality.

I also liked the fact that it was an ensemble cast. You don't see many movies like that these days. Go see it!

this is just a tribute

I can't explain why I like Tenacious D. I mean, I like it because they are both actually talented musicians, plus the music totally pokes fun of and at the same time honors heavy metal music.

Tribute is my favorite song by them, and a great song overall. The video is one of my top 10 favorite videos of all time. Seriously. Must be watched to be believed. The first time I laughed so hard, I almost choked.

I'm usually so serious about music. This is a nice break from all that :)

video: I'm going to make it through this year, if it kills me

This kinda puts it all in perspective for me.

Many thanks to Tracey for sharing that with me.

This is the song that D played for me. The video really is poignant.

"I hope you die. I hope we both die."

video: mother/son camping - nighttime fun

Again, I [heart] iMovie. It makes this video thing sooooo easy:



hope that worked... YouTube told me it was still processing the video, but damnit, I'm impatient!

I [heart] my mac and iMovie. Today I jumped into video editing and made a little movie of our camping trip this past week:
