Happy Birthday!

Happy birthday, jdonat.

Why...

I watched the Girl with the Green Dragon Tattoo this morning, I'm not sure. It sure is a gripping movie though. Every time I hear Swedish, I keep thinking it will spring forth from some ancestral memory. Of course, it never does, except for the phrase or two, from long ago visits with relatives, and the words that wander in from Scotland and Germany.

I Am Love

I read a bunch of the individual reviews on the Time's website. They either love it or hate it.

The best sex you will get all year, if that’s what you crave in your moviegoing, is between Tilda Swinton and a prawn.
