Not to be crass, well actually I don't care, but all I could think after watching Being Julia was I if I was a young lad then I would totally prefer to do Annette Bening over Lucy Punch (no offense Lucy P! R.I.P. Sally Peep). Maybe it was because I spent a good deal of the movie coveting her character's red hair.

The good about being at home: the too many to count movie channels
The downside: When my Dad wanders in and changes the channel saying "Let's see if this is in HD" and then deciding to explore the whole guide to see what's on before handing me back the control after I've missed about 10 minutes of the movie.

Ahaha now that I type this instead of experiencing it I can only say Oh Dad.

Also thanks alot for ruining Aang

I know its probably the oldest thing in the world to rag on M. Night but daaaaaaamn if Unbreakable isn't so good that you wonder what happened with him. Dad liked it and he is no fan of superhero movies, though it can be argued that Unbreakable is a different take on the genre than most.

I have been searching for an inexpensive copy of Katherine Hepburn's autobiography for years, I've broke down and attempted to to order it online twice and both times the the Amazon website never restocked it, and sent me emails trying to convince me to cancel the sale and check out other books. Here's a thought, if you don't have it or plan on getting it, don't list it. My Mom also attempted to order a Christmas gift for me that they kept saying would be restocked 6 months later. Normally I love Amazon, but the Canadian one can be difficult with more obscure items unless you're lucky enough to find a new & used seller with a reasonable shipping rate.

Anyways, I've discovered that every time I browse a Value Village used book section, there is an interesting selection. Yesterday: Katherine Hepburn: Me - Stories of My Life. There is nothing more satisfying then an unexpected find like that. Reading her interviews (though she often hated them) are fascinating, so I definitely look forward to her book.

Now I just need to pony up the dough for the ultra special (and therefore ultra pricey) African Queen DVD set so I can get the out of print The Making of the African Queen: Or, How I went to Africa with Bogart, Bacall and Huston and Almost Lost my Mind. . Also the African Queen is one of my favourite Hepburn movies and the stories from the set are probably interesting considering the people involved the movie.
