'Elizabethtown'
Yesterday niek and I saw Elizabethtown. I had high expectations because niek told me
it was simply phenomenal. I think Susan Sarandon is excellent.
Go see this movie!
Nifty

Now spinning: 'Underground Kingz'
UGK's got a new album: 'Underground Kingz', I just bought it. I did appreciate UGK but it just wasn't my cup of tea.
The scope of music on Underground Kingz is quite broad.

Weird stuff on The Herald-Press
Saw this strange stuff on The Herald-Press.
Cat wanders into substation and sends a community into a blackout. Cat last seen fleeing the scene, people are asked to be on the lookout for a cat with a burned ass.
Last Wednesday
Last Wednesday, lunch consisted of chili. In the evening, I did have eggplant
bake and couscous salad for dinner.
The Real Testament
Currently spinning: Plies's 'The Real Testament'. I feel silly that I didn't know about this before.

I saw 'MirrorMask'
I expected a just gorgeous movie because I heard a lot about this movie, but
MirrorMask was bad. Worst movie I've seen in my life.
Dave McKean's direction was god-awful and the soundtrack is terribly cheesy as well.
This is what I call disappointment! You shouldn't watch this film, even if you have nothing else to do.
I'm Busy
Yes, yes, it has been really quiet at merijn's lately, but things are really
busy. I am looking forward to the weekend. Sorry, if any of you are really obsessed with me

'Nine Lives'
Just saw Nine Lives. I heard a lot of good things about it so I wanted to see what
the hype is about, and it is just amazing. Director Rodrigo García did a fabulous job, Robin Wright Penn's performance is awfully cheesy though.
SFGate
Yeah, a thought-provoking article over at SFGate. Why the Electoral College will be hard to eliminate.

'Good Night, and Good Luck.'
Just saw Good Night, and Good Luck.. I heard a lot of good things about it. Don't waste any time or money on this. Anyway, don't ever, ever, ever see this movie.
I found David Strathairn did a silly job.
Hysterical
I am delighted by this.
Michigan State University students brawl over hamster. Jailarity ensues.I just laughed my ass off!
'Good Night, and Good Luck.': just a nice movie
Last night niek and I saw Good Night, and Good Luck., by George Clooney. I found it decent. The actors and the director did a pleasant job.
It's an interesting movie, well put together. The mood of 'Good Night, and Good Luck.' is rather special.

A pretty good movie
Just saw 'Elizabethtown'. I found it a fine movie. The plot involved the following: During his trip back to Kentucky for his father's memorial, a dejected young man (Bloom) finds inspiration in the form of a flight attendant (Dunst).
Director Cameron Crowe did a nice job.
I think my expectations were high, as I only found it amusing, but not the big deal that everyone was talking about.
