Hey Kids! Happy Friday!!

Although I am busily preparing to host a fete for family and friends this evening I wanted to take a moment to share something pretty special with you.

Did you ever wonder what it would be like if someone created a television show JUST for you. One that fit your interests perfectly? I have often lamented here and here that Hollywood is not meeting my cinematic needs...same goes for TV (excluding american idol and reruns of House). Well, no longer!!! Glee is here!!

Glee is my everything. Witty dialogue, genuine charm, and winning song and dance routines. Last week they raised the bar with the football team breaking out an "All the Single Ladies" performance in the final minute of their game.

If Julia Roberts does a cameo as the new drama teacher I will seriously lose my shit.

Crazy in Love

I want to be Beyonce. I have wanted to be her for quite sometime now. She is smokin hot, sings real pretty, is married to Jay-z, and is arguably a better dancer than I.

This has only strengthened my desire to trade in my j.crew and crocs in favor of a leotard and some double sided tape:

Beyoncé - New Music - More Music Videos

Please ignore the annoying commercial before the magic starts.

WTF?!?!

Feel good film of the decade?? Are you f-ing kidding me?

I am not sure how, with all of the Oscar buzz and people absolutely fawning over the movie, that the warning never made its way to me. But seriously, SOMEONE should have told me that no matter what, no matter how tempting, no matter how many Oscars, that I should never, ever, under any circumstances see Slumdog Millionaire.

I think there is really enough blame to go around on this one. The misinformation campaign for this film is right up there with GW Bush and the tobacco companies. WHY would you show me a song and dance routine? You know I can not bypass a strong piece of choreography. Couple that with a catchy song (you're next MIA)... I didn't stand a chance.

And what about the people who actually saw this movie (friends of mine) who then did not immediately forbid me from ever seeing it. I am disgusted with you.

So I ended up watching this "film" on my laptop in the backseat on the way to VA for a wedding this weekend. Bad bad idea. 1 hour and 56 minutes of unimaginable suffering and 4 brief minutes of redemption at the end.

1 star out of 5. Despite a happy ending this film contains gratuitous filth, sadness, poverty, and despair.
