We just saw Almost Famous and I would highly recommend it. It’s the new movie by Cameron Crowe who made feel-good movies such as Say Anything, Singles and Jerry Maguire. Not to mention, the movie starred one of my favorite actors, Jason Lee.

As with all of Crowe’s movies that I’ve seen, I left the theater with a great feeling of happiness and ambition. I felt good and kind and powerful and kinda happy to be living. Cheesy, I know, but it’s been a long week and I truly did enjoy this movie. I’m too tired to write more about it tonight, so go check it out and I will talk more about it later.

Nitey Nite.

I missed the MTV video music awards but it makes no difference whatsoever. MTV will be rerunning the program on an hourly basis for the next several months. That’s what MTV is all about: reruns.

While on the subject of MTV, I’d also like to say that I hate the Real World. Actually I hate all ‘realistic’ shows including Survivor. I can’t pinpoint the exact source of my dislike but I have a hunch it might have something to do with the extremely annoying people who like to be on the show.

The subway station by my house has several exits. One of them always closes by 7pm. Night after night, I see people walk towards the door, after seven, and shake the chains. I wonder what they’re thinking. Are they hoping the chains will crumble under the sheer force of their hands? Or do they think they can will the chains away? Humans are weird creatures.

The awards were so bad that I couldn’t get myself to watch the entire thing.

It always makes me laugh when the TV person says, “Don’t go anywhere, we’ll be right back.” Is there really anyone who stays just cause the chick on TV said so? Just wondering.

Gonna go see Whipped tonight. The sad thing is that I already know it sucks. I think that, after a long week, I just want to relax and see a totally stupid movie that doesn’t require any mental capacity. I’m quite sure this one will qualify.

We just saw Whipped and, as I suspected, it was awful. A great look at how pathetic some men are. The acting was worse than awful but the some of the scenes were sadly realistic. At one point, the guy sitting next to me actually said, “Thank God I’m gay.” I kid you not.

Here, in New York, it’s pouring. What a great way to end a terrible summer. Weather-wise, that is. I sure hope it gets better tomorrow or it’ll be kinda pointless to travel all the way to the Vineyard.

Double Indemnity, on the other hand, was very good. My favorite part is where he says he couldn’t hear his footsteps. I liked that image.

Have you seen the recent Jetta ads? The one where the guy rushes into the house to pull his girlfriend out. She’s painting her toenails and he grabs her and drags her out, all excited. Once in the yard, he shows her how the windows open at the push of a button. As he’s excited playing with the automated windows, she goes back in the house, with that oh-men look on her face. It’s such a great ad! Mostly cause, I think it represents the genders and their reactions so well.
