Watch This Movie!

I'd like to recommend Once. Really and truly, this is just a gem of a picture. It's a musical, but not in the traditional sense. Basically, a street busker in Dublin meets a Czech immigrant who is getting by selling flowers & magazines on the street. She is also a musician. Over the course of a week they bond over music and their respective troubles. The songs they sing and record are where the "musical" factor comes in, so for those who don't traditionally care for musicals and how people randomly burst into song, this is natural. They hired two musicians rather than actors for the leads, and I think that made a huge difference. The guy playing the male lead did have a role in "The Commitments" years back (oh, btw, the songs in the movie were written by him). The female lead and he were already friends IRL, so that adds to the naturalness between them. It's a little picture, but it's very touching and the songs are really good.

Post of Zero Worth

So, Madonna and Guy Ritchie are officially divorced. I'm impressed, it took eight years. When they got hitched, I gave them 2 years, tops. Oh, celebrity marriages...

While I'm at it, I'm still surprised Julia Roberts is still married to that camera guy.
