Miou Miou

We just finished the epic film Germinal! The standout to me was the actress who is my new favorite person...Miou Miou. She was named miou miou by her lover when she was 18. She plays the fierce wife of a miner and she has six kids. She is intense and is scarier than all the male characters combined. Also some of her dialogue is unintentionally hilarious. Also, she has these amazing grieving scenes where she just grunts and/or takes a really long time to break down in sobs. She is also wicked dramatic and played a prostitute in Memoirs of a French Whore. Also tomorrow is her birthday : )

Jumper Review






Jumper was a fun movie. It tells the story of young man who can teleport wherever he wants, and about the people who are after him. Hayden Christensen stars as David, the jumper. Millie, his childhood sweetheart is played by Ms. Bilson. A fellow jumper is Jamie Bell, the brit from Billy Elliot. Samuel L. Jackson plays the evil man who captures jumpers. The effects are cool and though many critics disagree Hayden Christensen is well cast. He is a wooden actor but that suits the role. Jamie bell gives the movie life as a fellow jumper. He's rough. The part when they teleport in a car through the streets of Tokyo is amazing. the movie is entertaining and full of beautiful locations. Ms. Bilson is likable, and subtly amusing. She is a pleasure to watch whatever she's in. This is a good action movie. **1/2 of 4.

Definitely, Maybe Review





I just saw Definitely, Maybe tonight. I'd see the previews and thought it looked kind of weak. It wasn't surprisingly. It was sweet and amusing. Not a straight out comedy, not a drama...life i guess you call it. Ryan Reynolds star of silly, crude comedies, but a funny actor none the less stars as Will Hayes. The father of Maya, played by the adorable Abigail Breslin, he and his wife are getting divorced. Maya asks to hear the story of how her parents met and what ensues is a fun trip through the 90's and a glimpse of the loves of this man's life. There is Emily, played by Elizabthe Banks, who is Will's college sweetheart who he leaves behind to go to New York and work on the Clinton campaign. In New York, he meets Summer, played by the divine Rachel Weisz, who knew Emily and who now goes out with her professor, Kevin Kline. He also meets April played by Isla Fisher who works at the campagin office too. She doesn't support CLinton though, she jsut needs the money. We see him interact with all these women. The scenes with Summer and Will, and Will and April are the best. The parts about the Clinton campaign and the 90's are great too. The huge cellphones and the internet!! The cast is superb. This is not your typical romantic comedy which is fortuante. Don't get me wrong, there are very few formulaic romantic comedies I don't like it. They get me some how. They give me hope and joy and montages. This was different. I loved the ending it's sweet. Weisz is good at playing the sexy woman. Reynolds has a great face and his performance is very untobtrusive and his lvoe for maya is clear. Fisher is the real delight. She is a amusing and sad and beautiful. The scene in the jewelry store between her and REynolds is heartbreaking. She is one to watch. You like her character the most out of all the women the whole movie, she's the one who's there through it all. A good, believable night at the movies. 2.5 stars out of 4.

Op-Ed Columnist
Hate Springs Eternal
By PAUL KRUGMAN
Published: February 11, 2008
In 1956 Adlai Stevenson, running against Dwight Eisenhower, tried to make the political style of his opponent’s vice president, a man by the name of Richard Nixon, an issue. The nation, he warned, was in danger of becoming “a land of slander and scare; the land of sly innuendo, the poison pen, the anonymous phone call and hustling, pushing, shoving; the land of smash and grab and anything to win. This is Nixonland.”
The quote comes from “Nixonland,” a soon-to-be-published political history of the years from 1964 to 1972 written by Rick Perlstein, the author of “Before the Storm.” As Mr. Perlstein shows, Stevenson warned in vain: during those years America did indeed become the land of slander and scare, of the politics of hatred.
And it still is. In fact, these days even the Democratic Party seems to be turning into Nixonland.
The bitterness of the fight for the Democratic nomination is, on the face of it, bizarre. Both candidates still standing are smart and appealing. Both have progressive agendas (although I believe that Hillary Clinton is more serious about achieving universal health care, and that Barack Obama has staked out positions that will undermine his own efforts). Both have broad support among the party’s grass roots and are favorably viewed by Democratic voters.
Supporters of each candidate should have no trouble rallying behind the other if he or she gets the nod.
Why, then, is there so much venom out there?
I won’t try for fake evenhandedness here: most of the venom I see is coming from supporters of Mr. Obama, who want their hero or nobody. I’m not the first to point out that the Obama campaign seems dangerously close to becoming a cult of personality. We’ve already had that from the Bush administration — remember Operation Flight Suit? We really don’t want to go there again.
What’s particularly saddening is the way many Obama supporters seem happy with the application of “Clinton rules” — the term a number of observers use for the way pundits and some news organizations treat any action or statement by the Clintons, no matter how innocuous, as proof of evil intent.
The prime example of Clinton rules in the 1990s was the way the press covered Whitewater. A small, failed land deal became the basis of a multiyear, multimillion-dollar investigation, which never found any evidence of wrongdoing on the Clintons’ part, yet the “scandal” became a symbol of the Clinton administration’s alleged corruption.
During the current campaign, Mrs. Clinton’s entirely reasonable remark that it took L.B.J.’s political courage and skills to bring Martin Luther King Jr.’s dream to fruition was cast as some kind of outrageous denigration of Dr. King.
And the latest prominent example came when David Shuster of MSNBC, after pointing out that Chelsea Clinton was working for her mother’s campaign — as adult children of presidential aspirants often do — asked, “doesn’t it seem like Chelsea’s sort of being pimped out in some weird sort of way?” Mr. Shuster has been suspended, but as the Clinton campaign rightly points out, his remark was part of a broader pattern at the network.
I call it Clinton rules, but it’s a pattern that goes well beyond the Clintons. For example, Al Gore was subjected to Clinton rules during the 2000 campaign: anything he said, and some things he didn’t say (no, he never claimed to have invented the Internet), was held up as proof of his alleged character flaws.
For now, Clinton rules are working in Mr. Obama’s favor. But his supporters should not take comfort in that fact.
For one thing, Mrs. Clinton may yet be the nominee — and if Obama supporters care about anything beyond hero worship, they should want to see her win in November.
For another, if history is any guide, if Mr. Obama wins the nomination, he will quickly find himself being subjected to Clinton rules. Democrats always do.
But most of all, progressives should realize that Nixonland is not the country we want to be. Racism, misogyny and character assassination are all ways of distracting voters from the issues, and people who care about the issues have a shared interest in making the politics of hatred unacceptable.
One of the most hopeful moments of this presidential campaign came last month, when a number of Jewish leaders signed a letter condemning the smear campaign claiming that Mr. Obama was a secret Muslim. It’s a good guess that some of those leaders would prefer that Mr. Obama not become president; nonetheless, they understood that there are principles that matter more than short-term political advantage.
I’d like to see more moments like that, perhaps starting with strong assurances from both Democratic candidates that they respect their opponents and would support them in the general election.
