boys

I caught "Star Wars"(finally) on Monday. Hayden Christensen was adequately screwed up, what with almost being burned alive, ouch. Natalie Portman, clearly on a downward spiral since "Garden State" was annoying but luckily edited out of most of the film. The highlights --hearing the Darth start breathing after being "helmeted" and watching the two-sun sunset with Luke and his guardians. I caught "Kingdom of Heaven" a couple of weeks ago, just to see if it had the juice to be part of Dubya`s future "Peace with the A-rabs" PowerPoint presentation. Orlando Bloom once again coasts through an epic with an indifferent pout. Edward Norton as the King of Jerusalem makes it all worthwhile. Leave it up to Eddie to make silver masks and leprosy sexy. On the subject of boys, I thought it was about time in my "blog-life" to start a discussion on the greatness of Michael Owen.

I`m off to look for a nightstand substitute. There are many things I`d pay forty bucks for --sushi, beer, eyeliner-- but the line has to be drawn.
