Haven't seen Supernatural or Lost yet, but I have one and I'm getting the other. Maybe tomorrow, between vaccuuming, hanging out with Mitchell, lesson planning, and seeing Star Trek again.

ETA2: While I'm at it, better review the movie I watched while babysitting tonight: Smilla's Sense of Snow
I have to be honest, the main reason why I tuned in to this movie tonight is that I've got a long-held fascination with the title. I kind of love it, and I almost wish I hadn't actually seen the film because the title conjures up more interesting ideas than this movie was able to put forward.
I feel like there's kind of two stories in this movie: a character study of a very brittle, angry, and frustrated character who is affected by the death a young boy with whom she felt an affinity and a connection, and an action movie with an ultimately silly plot that brings in a little bit more sci-fi than the other movie is comfortable with. A fabulous cast and an utterly fantastic performance from Julia Ormond as Smilla saves this movie from total mediocrity. I would have liked to see the first movie without the mystery, because the fractured narrative and excellent relationship moments make for good viewing. I was particularly impressed by how much Smilla came alive when she was finally reunited with her natural habitat, in the snow - you really feel that she's a woman who felt like she was 'in exile' her entire life coming back to where she belongs. Unfortunately the stupid thing with the meteorite pretty much destroys all that hard work and lovely cinematography.

For every Pine picture you post you have to post a Lowell picture. Keep it in balance :D

Mmm, a two Chrises spam. I also have a Chris Lowell vs. Zac Efron spam in the works that will probably happen in that impossible future when I have a) time and b) money.

Oooh, and I could do a Pine vs. Muhney spam, too! Because they DO look alike.

Pine looks like a younger Muhney but it all depends on the picture.

I'm still not attracted to Chris Pine. *ducks* I think he seems like a totally sweet and dorky guy in interviews, but .. I don't know, I think he's too "blond" for me. *shrugs* More for you! Yay! :D
