only for a minute and a half.
That's how long it took for a lead actress with arms the size of my pinkie finger, to appear on screen. Just looking at her made me nauseous, unfortunately after just having dinner, I decided that there had to be something better on television than this. Click. I heart the Spike channel for airing Star Wars all the time...I love it.

It's not wise to upset a Wookie....
I finally finished The Other Boleyn Girl yesterday morning after staying up most of the night before trying to put a dent in the 600+ page book. I thought it was intriguing considering the overly observant detail got in the way of the story, but only at times. I can also trust that I'll never watch the movie because there's no way a condensed version of the book would be very good. Having 2 American actresses and an Australian actor portray the lead roles of people from a well-known period of British history doesn't seem right. Not that I don't love all the actors involved, but it seems like an average age was picked and there is no significant time elapsing. Oh well, on to another novel that has already been adapted into several films. I'm sure there will come a time when all movies will be from literature due to the lack of individual creativity in the movie biz..
Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counsellors, and the most patient of teachers.
Charles W. Eliot (1834 - 1926)
