So I time traveled to 2007 and started a blog, because you can't contain me.  It's phase 2 in my 42-phase plan to write about movies instead of being a shitty quasi-attorney.  You losers can read it, or not.

Bear in mind it's easier to call me a tasteless moron if you do.

Fantastic review Ide!

Watched first half of Trouble with the Curve, bailed. The baseball bits were watchable, I suppose.

Watched a Danish movie. Not sure of its original title, but the subtitle was Hijacked. It was about a ship being boarded by Somali pirates near India, and the negotiation between the ship's corporate ownership and the pirates. Pretty decent.

Daily Bugle?

Does that mean you're going to stop posting your reviews here, Ide?

Only if Jonah would pay me not to.

But the Man of Steel one was really, really long, cut from an even longer slab.  I didn't think anyone would appreciate it if entirely reproduced here--hell from an aesthetic point of view it would have been an eyesore as a post--so I just linked it.

Fantastic review Ide!

When I was a kid, I thought the role was played by a man in drag. The actress's first name didn't help.

How in the world could you mistake early Sean Young for a man?

She played one in a movie with Jim Carrey?

Watching Fargo. Is that really how they talk in Minnesota?

It is a bit of an exaggeration, but that is how Yi sounds

Last summer I took a road trip up to Minnesota (and eventually on to shithole Thunderbay, Canada) with two goals in mind: to try lutefisk and to listen to people talking like Fargo.

I achieved neither.  Lutefisk is seasonal, and people only speak hardcore Fargospeak up in the northwest corner of the state (or so I was told).

Don't let him lie to you Liep. This is Yi!

The perils of learning geography through home schooling.

All you people look alike to  me.

All you people look alike to  me.

Which explains why you can't tell Iowa and Minnesota apart.

The perils of home schooling English.

Sarah Palin sounds like the people in Fargo to me.
