Christmas wish list

Ok so I know alot of movies suck this time of year but not nearly as much as the one's that get major play dates during the summertime.I could give a rat's-ass about Sheerluck 2 or Impossible 4 or Alvins skunks. I saw 2/3 of Girl With The Dragon Tattoo last night. It really had me going, was about 2 hrs into the movie when the bloody film broke and we had to call it a night. F@@k I was pissed. But the theater did give us our money back AND 2 passes for other movies.So that was ok. I will have to go back for the Dragon Tattoo cause I really liked what I saw, tho it was a highly disturbing film [ rapes, dead cats, etc ] So the movies I want to see, which haven't even reached my neck of the woods or just haven't been released yet are: Cronenberg's A Dangerous Method, Shame, Von Trier's Melancholia, The Artist, Payne's The Descendants, Scorsese's Hugo [ which along with the Payne film is in town ] Polanski's Carnage, Tinker, Tailor, Soldier,Spy. Most of these  are not fun films or easy to take but when it comes to film I like a challenge more often that not. Adventures of RinTinTin or whatever the f@@k it is called or WhoreHorse. Are these things people want to see? Why is it that American film goers [ I know I am making generalizations here but check the latest box office figures ] only go see shit? Why was that crap that Hugh Jackman was in a couple months ago a hit at the B.O? It's depressing and the dumbing down keeps getting worse every year. Nicolas Cage in Ghost Warrior 2. Christ, I didn't know the first one was such a hit it warranted a sequel. Why do another?? This has been a rant by a disgruntled moviegoer who loves movies but can't get worked up over the latest CGI-fest. So my wish this Christmas is this:  please Hollywood, stop the madness!

Happy Birthday, Barbarella

Jane Fonda turns....... wait for it..............74 years [ ! ] young tomorrow. She is an incredible woman who has had a fascinating life. An almost chameleon-like performer who has gone from sex kitten, Vietnam war protestor [ something her critics won't let go of ] serious, Oscar winning [ twice ] actress, exercise queen, trophy wife, author, well I think you get the picture. She is someone that cannot be pigeon-holed. And her recent cosmetic work is amazing. The only senior I can think of who looks as good would be Sophia [ 3 years Jane's senior ]. So Happy Birthday, Barbarella! I think you're amazing!!!!

P.S I would have tried to find something from YouTube that was more er, appropriate, but what the hell.
