Movies

Since I've had a pretty bad case of insomnia for the past couple of weeks, why not put it to use and update my woefully neglected blog? Gosh, there is just SO MUCH going on in my life right now, it's like I don't even have time to write about it on the internet!

Saw Knocked Up last weekend and it totally lived up to expectations. Jude Apatow and his whole crew (they should really have some sort of collective name and matching T-shirts) are just so funny and real, and the women always get to be funny and real as well, and not just sex with a fringe of conversation. Plus it's basically a big PSA for USE A CONDOM OR YOU WILL GET PREGNANT and boy, that is not fun at all. For me it was a lot like "Undeclared has a one night stand and gets pregnant" since most of the guys were there although the girls weren't. And if you haven't seen the wonder, the hilarity, the awe-inspiring goodness that is Undeclared, I will totally lend you my copy. This is a show that is guarateed to get you laughing within the first five minutes of viewing, no matter where or when.

And since it appears we are in the middle of the Summer of Apatow, there's another movie he produced, Superbad, out in August. It stars Michael Cera, and those two facts should be enough to get my ass to the local over-priced multiplex.

If you like musicals, Ireland, and pretty music (or if you are Kyle Schuster) go see Once. It was touching and awesome and I've already bought the soundtrack, despite the little old ladies (!) who sat behind me complaining that there wasn't enough song variation. THERE TOTALLY WAS, OLD LADIES.
