movies

has anyone seen 'across the universe'? i'm waiting for it to show up in state college becky saw it in philly and she really liked it.

so last night i had a dream where i was telling my friend dave how much i like the movie 'state and main.' this is funny for a few reasons. one- dave was wearing a tux and i really don't know why, and b- i do love 'state and main' but i really don't know why. if you haven't seen it, here's the synopsis courtesy of imdb dot com

Having left New Hampshire over excessive demands by the locals, the cast and crew of "The Old Mill" moves their movie shoot to a small town in Vermont. However, they soon discover that The Old Mill burned down in 1960, the star can't keep his pants zipped, the starlet won't take her top off, and the locals aren't quite as easily conned as they appear.

the summer i lived with my friends mande and ian we watched this movie like 8 million times. but we never saw the entire thing because something was wrong with the tape (yes. it was a vhs) and we never saw the last 10 minutes of the movie. so i bought it when i lived in new hampshire i think and i freaking love it. i think all the characters are just so perfectly cast. alec baldwin plays a smarmy movie star who likes 14 year old girls, sarah jessica parker is a ditzy movie star, william h macy is a director who has a pillow that says 'shoot first ask questions later', philip seymore hoffman is a self deprecating playwrite. it's just spectacular casting, the writing is amazing. it's written and directed by david mamet. my favorite quotes are "It's not a lie.It's a gift for fiction." and "Yep, it's faggy without being homosexual."

i'm not sure the rest of the world shares my opinion that this is one hilarious movie, but i do enjoy it.

have a great weekend! i'll be out at a camp with college and high school kids. should be fun, it's suppossed to be a beautiful weekend :O)
peace, love and hugs
