After a short hiatus, I'm back...

And by short I mean seven years. That's how long it's been since I've had a blog. I had a Diaryland page waaaayy back in the day, but I quit because I was having a blogger's version of performance anxiety. Does anyone even remember Diaryland?

This week has been a movie week for me. Here's what I watched:

-Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry, a car chase movie from the 70s starring Peter Fonda and reckless driving. I watched it in preparation for a paper I was writing about Grindhouse.
-Hellboy II: The Golden Army. I might have been the only girl in the theater.
-Step Up 2: The Streets. Please don't judge the fact that I now own this on DVD. Dance battles + Missy Elliot songs every five minutes = a movie I need to own.
-The Rocker. I went to a free screening. The movie was okay, a few too many pratfalls for my taste. However, Rainn Wilson was there to do a Q & A, and while most of the questions were really dumb, he was genuinely entertaining. Also, he referred to Matthew McCoughnahey (sp?) as Matthew McKindagay.
-Batman Begins, to prepare for...
-The Dark Knight!!! So good, and so intense! And as Berly says, Christian Bale is a babe. Although I promise I liked it for more reasons than that.
-In the midst of all that, I've been watching Joss Whedon's new internet series Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog. It's both funny and sad, and has a villain named Moist. And musical numbers. I loved it!

Since I officially finished all my graduation requirements and never have to go to school ever again, I've been completely happy to bury myself in movies and music and books. Next week comes less Christian Bale and more job hunting. And a visit from my parents.
