a week's worth of thoughts

i was reading the most amazing whatevs.org and he started talking about Sarah Michelle Gellar and how she was thinking about appearing in the finale for the Buffy spinoff, Angel, and I realized I never really liked Ms. Gellar Prinze Jr as an actress. I mean, look at her collection of work: the Buffy series, I Know What You Did Last Summer, Scream 2, Cruel Intentions, and Scooby Doo, not to mention the sequel everyone's been waiting for, Scooby Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed. breaking down the roles for you: a role in a WB show, a stuck up beauty queen in a high school teen flick, the stay-home-and-get-stabbed-while-your-sorority-sisters-are-out-getting-crunk role Tori Spelling was even too smart to take, a coked up slut , and the offspring of Ginger and Gilligan if Mystery Inc ever went on a 3 hour tour. When deciding which role to do twice, you know everyone would've rather seen her repeat as a coked up slut in the sequel(which was actually a prequel) to Cruel Intentions, but we could never be so lucky.

they haven't come back to film anymore in front of my office for Adam Sandler's upcoming movie, Spanglish. and the more i think about it, the more i realize i couldn't have been more wrong about the kind of role he has. going completely the other direction, i think it's gonna be about all the hilarity that ensues from a spanish-speaking maid going to work for a middle upper class white family. because if anything is gonna make a movie funny, it's movies that show white people trying to understand another culture.

sometimes i am still amazed that California's governor is Arnold Schwarzenegger. it really helps to ease any doubts that may arise by reading some of his past quotes.
when asked about his decision to run for governor - "It's the most difficult [decision] I've made in my entire life, except the one I made in 1978 when I decided to get a bikini wax."
when asked about his lack of multiculturalism - "I don't understand how they can call me anti-Latino, when I've made four movies in Mexico."
whether or not he supports gay marriages - "No, I do not. I think that gay marriage should be between a man and a woman."
when asked how he plans to balance the state budget - "The only way we can deal with those issues is by bringing business back to California, because businesses, when you bring them back to California, it brings revenue back to
California. And when you have more revenue, you then can afford to take care of all those programs that need to be taken care of."
when asked about his previous indiscretions - "I have inhaled, exhaled everything." also, "Yes, grass and hash--no hard drugs. But the point is that I do what I feel like doing. I'm not on a health kick."

awesome....

oh, and in case you wanted to know how long the wait times were at your nearest Canadian/US border checkpoint, go here.
