It is my understandng that Uma is Northfield Mount Hermon Class of '87 which would make her 34 going on 35 unless she was a wizard who skipped grades. I would think Laura Dern is not far off age wise. Looks like thi Scarlett Johannson chick might be who you are thinkging of. I was not impressed by Ghost World to put it mildly and didnt see Lost IN Translation yet, so I dont know .

Hell no. I only notice kids because I get 10,000 pre-birth invites/baby-gift-extortions every time.

But I do generally know if someone's relationship is/isn't on the rocks or if their partner's parent is grievously ill.

Given that her father is a leading scholar of Tibetan Buddhism, it's not out of the question.

Maybe coltrane was right?
 

I was unfortunate enough to hear one cut from it, which supposedly he wrote. Your fears are well-founded. It's worse than lite FM -- It's a Diane Warren song.

I'm not sure what's sadder. Creative people who become junkies, or creative people who become ex-junkies.

With all the pot, you honestly think he wasn't a lump on a couch already?

Please. If he were a cokehead, or a solely major alcoholic, then you'd have a viable complaint.

Damn. I really liked the first one and was looking forward to a quick turnaround for the second. The art direction department for that film is going to be snubbed for an Oscar nomination.

I saw four movies last weekend (Mystic River, Lost in Translation, Cold Mountain, and Big Fish). I probably see at least three movies a month in the theater and a dozen or more at home. I'm in the wrong fucking industry.

GGG, I was responding to his Sandra Bullock comment, with multiple responses in one post.

That's funny.

Nancy Reagan, please.

This is a guy who when on booze, pot, coke and heroin was well-known for legendary battles with his brother.

Not a pussy, he. Until now.

Paigow,

If you dig the Crowes, try out My Morning Jacket and the Kings of Leon. They're both sorta Crowesy in different ways.

If you dig the Crowes' harder edged stuff, try out The Go. Their new recrod is great.

The Crowes needed a hiatus. Lions had some killer moments, but it also had a whole lotta slop on it. They need to come back with another way spaced out disc like Amorica. I think they have the genius double disc in them, if they could only go with their own sound and stop fighting about whether to be the faces or Zeppelin.

PS: I've seen them play live about five times, last time being with Jimmy Page. The Page show was unreal.

Whew. Thanks.

So your reviews? Mystic River was one of the best movies I've seen until the last five minutes, when I thought the wife's role was badly overwritten. The others you saw are all on my short list.

IMDB lists Uma as born in 1970. She seems younger than that.

Put Utne on there on I think your list would mirror AG's. Are you his sock?

Here's a tip. Whenever I get a birth announcement or some sort of shower invite or a mass mailing holiday letter, I mail it back to the sender with the word "Unsubscribe" scrawled across the front.

If you want to hear what happens when people stop taking drugs and drinking, listen to the new Metallica record. Its one of the very few utterly unredeemable discs I own. There is not a listenable cut on the entire album, and its all dreck from the singer about how he's got control of his life now that he's clean and sober. It might as well be Christian Rock.

No thanks. They lost me when they covered a Bob Fucking Seger song.

Thanks for posting that PJ post. She wins the Sunny Bunny Ignorant Judgment Award. I am ashamed to have her hail from my homestate when she is so clearly more suited to interior Orange County.
