not much time for talk

So I spent about two and a half hours tonight backing up my files and then attempting to install Windows XP Service Pack 2, which did its thing for about an hour and a half and then crashed before it was done. I fucking give up with this shit. I can't believe I feel like I have to buy a new fucking computer even though it's only two years old, because I can't install the stupid fucking service pack. AAAARGH. I shouldn't have attempted it when I was already in a terrible mood because now I'm really filled with rage.

Last night oeilade and I went to a special screening of Sleuth starring Michael Caine and Jude Law and directed by Kenneth Branagh. After the movie Michael Caine and Kenneth Branagh sat and did a little interview, which is why we went, obviously. That and the fact that oeilade harbors an indecent love for Michael Caine. And I have to say, I can never truly love Kenneth Branagh after the Emma Thompson thing, but he's so damn smart and talented and sigh, I would still totally have sex with him. I'm not proud.







The movie is...weird. I mean, I guess I enjoyed it, I'm just not entirely sure "enjoyed" is the right word. It's a really interestingly crafted and acted film, and I think it is definitely worth seeing for the exercise that it is. It's like watching a filmmaking class in a way. Michael Caine is pretty amazing in it. Jude Law has bad hair but is still pretty. The conversation afterward was more entertaining than the movie, for me. Both Caine and Branagh are just so good at what they do and speak so intelligently about it that it was great to just sit there and bask in their insights. I really enjoyed seeing them.

I'm way behind on my TV watching -- have only managed to really watch ANTM, Top Chef, and Survivor, because of the spoilery issues. I was fine with the results of all three, if anyone wants to discuss, come on in. The dramas are all sitting on my TiVo. Oh, I did watch Supernatural tonight. It was good, not great, I thought. The way that guy died is going to stay with me, though. Ick.

In case you missed it Go Fug Yourself does Hottie from Flavor of Love.

I also just wanted to wish Happy Belated Birthdays to timesink and powerof3. Yesterday was also Janel Moloney's birthday and Jack Wagner's birthday. Yes, I still remember when Jack Wagner's birthday is, I realize that's sad. It just stuck in my brain for some reason. I'm sure he had a great day with Heather Locklear. ;P

Okay, more this weekend, when I have a chance to catch my breath.
