I’m starting Eclipse, the third book of the Twilight series, today, much to the chagrin of all of my uber-pretentious friends. I really just want to see the vampires and werewolves fight. Who’s with me?

Before Sunset (via filmquotes) (via istealpens) (via quote-book)
I’ve bought Before Sunrise, Before Sunset, and about 40 other DVDs for $3 from Big Lots in the last few months. I’m addicted to cheap DVDs.

Congresswoman Foxx you are the only hoax here. One of Matthew Shepard‘s killers admitted under oath that he knew he was gay, that they lured him from a bar by pretending to be gay themselves. Then they robbed him, pistol-whipped him, fractured his skull, tortured him with sharp implements and they tied him to a fence post in rural Wyoming. He was not found for 18 hours.
There is no excuse for Congresswoman Foxx‘s remarks. She is, at best, callous, insensitive, criminally misinformed. At worst, she is a bold-faced liar. And if there is a spark of a human being in there somewhere, she should either immediately retract and apologize for her stupid and hurtful words, or she should resign her seat in the House.
She is not worthy to represent this country nor any of its parties nor any of its peoples. She is our shame. And adding to our shame, she said all that as Matthew Shepard‘s mother sat in the House gallery. Congresswoman Virginia Foxx, fifth district of North Carolina, today‘s worst person in the world.

The Stupidest Bee of All Time
Today I was mowing the lawn, and this bee kept hovering around me. So I went inside, got a fly swatter, and swatted it to death.

Woody Allen to Open TFF ‘09 with Whatever Works…
————
Annie Hall, Manhattan, Crimes and Misdemeanors, Hannah and Her Sisters. Until recently, Woody Allen’s films were synonymous with New York, but then he went to Europe for a while and explored the continent with the successful Match Point and Vicky Cristina Barcelona. With his latest film, Allen has found his way back to the Big Apple—specifically, to the 2009 Tribeca Film Festival.
God, I can’t wait.
