What have I been watching? reading? eating? writing?

I haven’t listed the things on my pop culture menu as of late, so here’s an update! (OMG! That rhymed!)

I’ve been watching…

Hamlet 2: Eh. It was kinda funny. But most of the funny is towards the end of the movie – and Elisabeth Shue is in it!

Vicky Cristina Barcelona: Not as high strung as many other Woody Allen movies, but it had his signature all over it – except that it was set in Spain, not New York. And Penelope Cruz wasn’t that annoying – but the plump-lipped Scarlett Johansson was. But that doesn’t mean I hated it. It was a nice dollop of Spain in my paella pan.

Burn After Reading: Some critics have been giving it lukewarm reviews, but I enjoyed it. Who knew Brad Pitt could be so funny? Who knew that a murder involving a hatchet could be so funny? The best part of the movie? We avoid Pitt-Clooney overload because they hardly share screen time. It’s the perfect chaser to No Country For Old Men.

I’ve been reading…

How To Lose Friends and Alienate People: Perfect book for me. I related to the dude in the book, except that I’m not big of prick as he is. Plus, I’m not British nor do I work for Vanity Fair. The upcoming movie looks like it’s going to pale in comparison. Read the book. Thank me later.

Wicked: I’ve read the first 20 pages and I’m still not into it. I’ll give it 20 more pages.

I’ve been eating…

Spicy Sweet Chili Doritos: Go get out and get them. Now. Finish the whole bag and thank me later.

I’ve been writing…

Besides pitch letters, cover letters and SF Examiner posts, nothing. Sad, huh?
