Have fun, Curty!

Then, home to Idol & the Race. Pure TV bliss.....

I'll be at a Girl Guide meeting. I know, try to contain yourself, don't be jealous!

Hey Paula, did you get my e-mail?

Blanchett would have kicked ass. I loved Portman, but Maggie Gyllenhall played her role in one of the stage productions and I've always wondered how she would have done in the movie. One of the biggest problems I had with the movie was the transition from when Jude Law and Natalie Portman meet to the photo shoot with Mr. Ed. His character completely changed instantly and it just didn't translate well, in my opinion. Went from being a nice guy to a total prick. I didn't like they how they changed the ending, either, but this is Hollywood and they have to have a happy one.

What was the actual ending supposed to be? I didn't think it ended well at all. It left it open. You know The Horse Whisperer and what's his f*ck don't stay together. Natalie Portman was the only one who had any sort of closure, the only reason being that she moved to another continent. I actually wasn't that impressed with her performance. When she made the final break from Jude Law, I thought she REALLY seemed like she was acting. Actually, the second time I saw it, I thought the whole film was very acted. Know what I mean?

You don't shower at the gym? I always wonder why people don't because you go home in your sweat. Plus, I like seeing the lovely little bits in the shower at the gym!

Thanks, my love.

You know I will be taking a packing break to watch those two shows.

Here's hoping for Scott's demise......

I'm a gin boy myself! Vodka gives me a massive hang over. Gin and tonic with a lime wedge in it! It's almost 11:00 here. Do you think it's okay to start drinking now?

The actual ending had Alice getting run over and killed by a car back in New York, Larry and Anna split up once again, and it ends with Larry, Anna, and Dan having a picnic and talking about Alice. Nichols supposedly filmed it, but then cut it out after test audiences balked at it. Test audiences? Suck ass. Their opinions butcher what could be great films.

It was acted, I see what you mean. But I think it's to be expected a little from plays. I don't think I've seen a film version of any play that didn't seem acted a bit; Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf, while fantastic, is very acted.

The only one I disliked was Mr. Ed, she is just horrific. I've always liked Portman and that scene between her and Owen in the lap dance lounge was breathtaking. Even though I had seen the play, I was on the edge of my seat expecting him to slap her at any moment. Jude Law is just a fantastic actor, I love him. He's got this air on intellectualism to him that is incredibly irresistible to me.

That Damien Rice song, though, is ATROCIOUS. I despise it.

And we TOTALLY got to see Law's pubes in the bedroom scene with Portman! I'm such a perv!
