I'VE NEVER SEEN BALLS ON A CAT..

So sad news, y'all... I was bummed today to learn that the stars of one of my favorite films of 2007, Once, have called their relationship quits.

Normally I don't care about relationship news, both hook-ups and break-ups, but these 2 were special and I really enjoyed the parallel art meeting life aspect of it all. Oh well, I wish them both the best. 

Omg. So the rumors started circulating today that J.Lo might be heading to Broadway!! This would be great!

Apparently she's showing interest in taking part in some capacity of an upcoming version of In the Heights, and it very well may be a film version! (Which would be w00t-w00t!!) I'm all about J.Lo sticking around (it's the Puerto Rican in me...) and In the Heights sounds like the perfect project for her to pursue at this time. Andrew and I got to see it in New York over the summer and it absolutely earned every Tony it was rewarded. I still have the soundtrack in my 6-CD changer in my car and switch over to it whenever I feel like belting out some show tunes.


So the other night I finally got around to watching Molly Shannon's bri-zilliant turn in 2007's Year of the Dog.

So sorry if I *spoil* anything but the movie's been out for over a year and a half so... Oh well... Anyway, I've been wanting to see this quirky little film since it came out so it was high time to finally get around to it. Molly Shannon of course was mesmeric. I continue to maintain that she is one of the least understood and underestimated performance geniuses of our time. As soon as the image of her dowdy secretary character comes on the screen accompanied by her faithful beagle, I was hooked. These days, it's a feat alone if I'm able to stay awake through an entire 90 minute joint so leave it to Molly's genius to keep me transfixed throughout this film's 2 hour run. And I've got to give a shout out to the film's wardrobe coordinator. If you've seen this movie, you'll know what I mean. I must be noted that the film's the baby of School of Rock writer's Mike White who apparently will be taking part in this season of The Amazing Race which I believe is the first time a semi-notable Hollywood figure has confronted the race.
