The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is a great movie. It is impossible to deny that, impossible not to see the beautiful cinamtagraphy and the wonderful script, the brilliant acting.

As President Bush (God, I hate calling him that) finally leaves office, it looks like the Europeans will be bailing us out from some of his mistakes.

MTV to make more reality television. We put the collective gun barrel into our collective mouths…
Its funny. Since I received this “cable” thing and started “watching television” again, I’ve avoided MTV all together. I have absolutely no idea what channel it is on, and I can say without any doubt that I’ve never watched any of it this year. I’m not surprised that MTV’s ratings have dropped. You know what … Read more
