Humor will not be tolerated!! -Portia

The Bob Ross one is good too.

just watched Moonrise Kingdom at the dollar theater here. Had the whole theater to myself! Also I love everything in that movie. Especially all the clothes and Edward Norton in knee socks.

Batter My Heart from Doctor Atomic. And once again I am left incredibly grateful for Dr. Howard and Music 202.

good stuff, thanks for sharing

Saw Spirited Away again at the Broadway.

Watched "The Secret Garden". The show was incredibly well done.

I think she means the Broadway Centre Cinemas in Salt Lake. (But I also did a double take.)

Katya is correct. (Duh.) Who could compose such a strange score? Who would you cast as Chihiro? Yubaba? I'm liking this idea.

Stephen Sondheim for music. Called

One of the guys next door introduced me the other day to a band called Gregorian that does covers of popular pop and rock songs. Like them or not, you have to agree that they're very unique.

I think Julie Taymor could totally pull it off.

Just watched Amazing Grace and Objectified.

It was nice to see Benedict Cumberbatch in a role where he wasn't quite so serious. (Don't get me wrong, I love Sherlock, but Benedict Cumberbatch is so cute when he smiles!)

I liked Objectified, but not as much as Helvetica. (What I really want to do, though, is read a bunch of books by the folks interviewed in Objectified. So it's a good source for that sort of information.)

I also bought the soundtrack to Into the Woods, which I've wanted for a long time but kept not getting around to buying.

I also finished reading The Ghost Map a while back. Very good, but you can skip the epilogue and afterward. They feel tacked-on and they're not as well-researched as the rest of the book.

I just watched Edward Scissorhands for the first time. Not my favorite movie.

Blasphemy!

Yeah, not a fan of that one.

My mom tried to force me into loving Edward Scissorhands because (according to her) it is "one of the best movies out there". But I never have, and probably never will, love that movie. I'm not a huge Tim Burton fan in general (this dates back to the chronic nightmares that The Nightmare Before Christmas would induce when I was a child), though I recognize he is very talented at what he does.

However, I suppose there are exceptions to every rule since I absolutely loved Sweeny Todd.

I love Nightmare! Might be my favorite movie of all time. And in general I like Tim Burton. I just struggle when my media has anything other than a happy ending (plus several parts of the movie made me uncomfortable for various reasons).

She doesn't like cougars coming after socially underdeveloped humanoids.

Um yes.
