i heard another report from a highly respected film buff friend that the musketeer was an awful awful movie. actually, he said, “it wasn’t even awful, it was downright painful to watch,” or something along those lines. so i’m glad still that i didn’t go see it. poor tim roth, two utterly disappointing film choices in one short summer. and he has such a cool accent too.

how about this though, some of us get to go see a free pre-screening of zoolander on wednesday night. i’m excited. i know it looks awful, and it may well be a strong example of murray’s law (see archives), but i have to say all the same that i love ben stiller and there’s at least a chance that it’s not as dumb as television would make it seem. come on ben, you can do it. think reality bites. think zero effect. think your small part in happy gilmore or your promising upcoming role in the royal tenenbaums. i believe in you.

i was looking for some examples of propaganda for my visual culture class, and one of the war posters that i found said “when you ride alone, you ride with hitler“… “join a car-sharing group today!” i thought, what a fun poster that would be to have for the apartment. show my patriotic and anti-hitler sentiments (which both need constant declaring), and spruce the place up, because it’s a colorful poster too! i only wish i had a car so i could help out the country by joining a car-sharing group.

that’s right, i’ll say it again. a car-sharing group!
