My favorite GG moment

Posted on by

Sunday brought the Golden Globe Awards, which are pretty much the best awards show. Lots of drinking.

Ricky Gervais wasn’t too bad but the best quip of the evening came from whoever picked up the award for Toy Story 3 (Lee Unkrich). Hailee Steinfeld and Justin Bieber presented the award (Children?) and Lee tossed of the bon mot shown in the picture below.

I rag on Bieber frequently, but he is an adorable little moppet. And Unkrich wasn’t far off. Toy Story came out in 1995. 15 years ago. Bieber is 16-ish (March 1994) and Steinfeld was born in December 1996, making her YOUNGER than Toy Story by a full year and a half.

Justin got demoted

Yes, I’m kinda picking on The Bieber again, but not really. And this time I’ve actually listened to his CD. Or at least 30 seconds from each track.

From Overheard In New York…

Mom: You wanna play with my iPod? I put your favorite Bieber songs on there.

Three-year-old: He not my favorite anymore.

Mom: He’s not? How come?

Three-year-old: Mommy, he’s just a white boy from Canada.

It’s all about the scare

Happy Halloween. Wait. It’s November 3? Crap.

Ok, so this past weekend, not being able to download, buy or stream The Rocky Horror Picture Show at the last minute, we resorted to watching Harry Potter and the Age of Puberty. No, it was Harry Potter and the Half-blood Prince. This isn’t exactly Halloween fair, but we saw a bunch of little (and very big) Harry’s running around (and a Malfoy) so it must be something. Creepy in places, very dark, but not scary.

Chris and I differ in our opinions of a good scary movie. I love scary movies, he doesn’t so much. Thus to him a good scary movie is one he can do other things while “watching.” We watched Paranormal Activity a couple of weeks ago and I found it laughable and never got even slightly worked up. Chris wasn’t scared or ‘nuthin, but he “watched it” while playing with his iPhone and cleaning the kitchen.

Because Chris isn’t a fan, I’ve fallen out of my habit of watching scary movies and I’m way, way behind. I am looking for recommendations though. If you want to leave me a comment with your favorites, I’d appreciate it.

But it’s got to be GOOD. Like interesting, unique, no huge love story for the hero, very few boobs (none is better) and a decent story. Shit like The Ring will not pass.

An AT-AT after my own heart

Everytime we travel, even slightly outside the downtown core, I get a little nervous, but then I see that fabulous green sign that makes me happy.

When this popped up on RolfRazzi the other day I just knew I had to post it and pretty much adopt it. Yeah, I have a problem.

Funny story though – according to the comments on the original post, Lucas and co. filmed the backgrounds in Norway (spectacular) and Norway doesn’t have Starbucks! I guess we know where I’m not going anytime soon.
