The Cheesecake is Rich

It’s Oscar night! Yeeeeeaaaah! (Good news: I finally have seen all of the Best Picture nominees from last year’s ceremony and I can say that you should totally watch Atonement if only because the last 30 minutes will absolutely slay you) Anyway…I could never be cool enough to live blog the entire ceremony, so I’m [...]

Okay, so I am a gigantic loser who finds nothing more interesting than Tales of Celebrity Wives, especially the subset Tales of Rock Star Wives. The dogs and I just got back from the dog park (more about that later) and I saw that E! was showing an episode of True Hollywood Story all about [...]

So! I have seen some movies of late. (Not including the movies I’ve watched on TV, which is a whole other topic). First, Gene and I saw Pineapple Express. Ehh. I enjoyed it but it was – as Cartman from South Park might say – hella violent. Very funny, but not as good as… Next, [...]

So, Gene and I saw the new Batman movie on the IMAX screen in downtown Cheesecake. He had me get the junk food so he picked the seats. Believe me – 2 and a half hours in the 5th row at IMAX is a recipe for certain disaster. The movie itself was fine. I don’t [...]

so, while I was on vacation in exotic Indianapolis, I saw in the headlines that Larry Hagman died. But then I never saw the headline again. Gee, I thought to myself. That’s rough – I know that Jesse Helms and Bozo the Clown died, too, but Larry Hagman was JR on Dallas. Poor dude. A [...]

Gene voluntarily Tivo’d “We Are Marshall,” that movie about the Marshall University football team. It’s no skin off my nose – I count at least two hot men named “Matthew” as the movie’s stars. But he doesn’t even LIKE football. Maybe he thinks it’s about Marshall Field’s? Or maybe the Marshall Tucker Band? Federal marshals? [...]

So, another year, another Oscars has passed. Why do all the headlines trumpet that all the acting trophies went to Europeans? It almost sounds like someone is trying to make it a controversy. I just turned the TV on and AMC’s showing The Godfather. It just got to the scene where the movie producer is [...]

Gene and I watched a movie today. It’s called “The Ten” and it’s all humorous sketches about the Ten Commandments. (Yes this really is Elaine’s blog and yes, I’m still an atheist). Anyway – the reason I wanted to watch it was because it starred many of the people from the 1990s sketch comedy show [...]

So Gene and I have now seen all of the Best Picture nominees this year with the exception of Atonement (I’m trying – and failing – to finish the book first). Last night we went with our Athiest Friends (it’s 1 couple, not like there’s a club or something) to see There Will Be Blood. [...]

You’ll never guess what movie Gene and I saw today. Oh, wait, you read the title of this post… So yeah, we saw it and loooved it. Accidentally (or maybe intentionally), the captions were on the entire time, so I got to read the movie while I watched it. I love to do that. It [...]
