A new Pixar movie means? Rejoicing! Although I haven’t seen WALL-E yet. Because I am a bad fan. Soon. Every Pixar movie, though, I see the trailer and I’m like, how are they gonna pull this off? An animated family movie with a 70-something crotchety protagonist? Then again, their short Geri’s Game was about an aging gentleman chess player, and that was fantastic. If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s to trust Pixar.
I am a twenty-something cinephile, music lover, internet junkie, gamer grrrl, and recovering academic (English lit). This is my home, but you can also find me around the net; see my Friendfeed activity below for all my interweb haunts.

It wasn’t the movie of our dreams. It wasn’t that total film we carried inside ourselves. The film we would have liked to make or, more secretly, no doubt, the film we wanted to live.
The Very Best of Katharine McPhee
Great post here recapping the best performances by Kat on American Idol this year. I’ve been reading Breath of Fresh Ink since I started scouring the internets for mp3s of the performances, and Chris Evans has a good blog going. Here he’s included both his original reviews of [...]
This month, my reactions to Broken Flowers, Thank You for Smoking, Sophie Scholl, Inside Man, War of the Worlds, The Constant Gardener, Crash, Digital Fortress, If on a winter’s night a traveler, and more.
Hi, I’m Jandy, and I have an obsessive personality. Or something like it. I get incredibly obsessed incredibly easily, and when I get obsessed with something, I go all the way. When I was little, it was horses. I had an imaginary stable. But this wasn’t just “oh, sometimes I imagine I have horses.” No, [...]
What the hell did they have her singing? Taylor’s wasn’t a much better original song, but Kat’s? Kat’s was one of the worst pop songs I’ve ever heard. She did her best with it, but damn. I agree with Randy…she is so much better than that, but that song was crap.
I think I’ll rewind and [...]
Will American Idol be a Red State vs. Blue State Battle?
Interesting post today on Reality TV Magazine, about how fans are likely split up geographically between Taylor Hicks and Katharine McPhee along the same lines as the 2004 presidential election. I’ll leave you to read the post, but basically it boils down to Taylor will [...]
Only not really, because I don’t do poetry.
When I went to see Brick last week, I was impressed by the film, but I was equally impressed by the theatre-going experience, a topic that increasingly interests me. I don’t go to the Hi-Pointe Theatre very often, but I must make more of an effort. Let’s start [...]
Veronica Mars renewed for a third season. (The announcement is below the Grey’s Anatomy interview.)
WOOOOOOOOOTTTT!!!!!
I was fairly confident it would be, but it’s nice to have confirmation. Sorry to any Everwood fans out there…I didn’t watch it, but I know a lot of people really loved it. Okay, now back to VM. If I weren’t [...]
Okay, today at work I have had:
A late return claim (the check was deposited in AUGUST, and banks only have like 10 days to return something…not NINE MONTHS), which was sent to us the wrong way in the first place, and the person at the other bank has no idea what to do with it…and [...]
