Ok, I saw "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory". My initial reaction...it sucked. I had a hard time not compairing it to the 70's version, which happens to be one of my favoite movies and the movie I've probably watched more times in my life than any other. As I think about it, there were many things I enjoyed about the new version as well.
I've been working my ass off lately. At work is seems as though it's either flood or drought. I always seem to feel better when we're really busy. I hate it while it's going on, but afterwards I feel the edorphins kick in and feel a sense of accomplishment, even though it's a shitty ass retail job.

I had to go to a meeting at work at 8:30 am at which I learned nothing. Following that I went home and watched two... Read More
I just found out that Cry-Baby AND Toby Tyler are coming out on DVD this year!!!!!!!!! Holy shit! The two movies I've been waiting for forever! I'm so excited!
Toby Tyler was my favorite movie, along with Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, when I was a wee little girl and I haven't seen it since then. It made me want to run away from... Read More
