The Sweet Life?

I think the point of this classic movie is that it wasn't all that it was cracked up to be. For anyone who may have seen La Dolce Vita and thought "how absurd"........I think that was the whole point. I had never seen this flick but have always heard of it. Initially, I was under the impression that it would be like those classic panoramic "feel good" movies set in Europe of the late 50's - early 60's. Having it in my Blockbuster Online queue for quite a while before receiving it, I had time to read up on it. After doing so, I wasn't sure what the hell I was in for but I was seriously considering that it might not nearly live up to it's reputation. In fact, I feared that it would feel so dated and actually be a bit boring. My God, it's set in Italy *drool* but.... it's in b/w? The horror! Factor in that it was a Fellini movie and ..........jeez, what if I don't "get it"? Oh, the shame. After all, I consider 2001: A Space Odyssey to be one of my favorite films. I have a movie snob rep to protect!

Three hours of Italian (dad would have been so proud) with English subtitles and I just could not take my eyes off of this film. Told in an episodic form, you just never knew what was coming next and frankly, I was glued to it............as odd as it truly was.

Ahh, here's to La Dolce Vita! A look at how being oh-so-hip is oh so absurd.

Loved it!

Watch your back with the Housewives of the OC

Damn! Who watched the wrap up show ending season 4 of The Real Housewives of Orange County? These broads are BRUTAL. While I'm not completely convinced that there isn't something up with Gretchen's side of the story (who would describe this person who supposedly threatened to "out" her to Tamra as a "really good friend"??)I still have the feeling that Tamra really enjoyed hearing the worst about her and does not want to think otherwise, regardless of what is said. She almost had me convinced at her sincerity but, as usual, she tippy toed too far past the point of no return and it made me suspicious once again.

And what was up Vicki's nose? Even Tamra admitted she was behaving like an asshole at that party.........plotting to get Gretchen "naked wasted" whatever the hell that is supposed to be.
Nope, Vicki was defying all logic and refuting that anyone was plotting against her at all even while the main suspect was just admitting it. WTF?

I still love Vicki for her strong beliefs and work ethic but I wish she'd see a therapist about that auto-pilot instant jealousy thing she's got going with anyone she hasn't known forever. She's too good for that and it just makes her look like a loony tune.

Jeana is still my favorite. She's the most "real" of the whole crew. She knows she lives in a shallow environment and can still see reality the way most normal people would.

Poor Lynne. While I do not think she's blazing up a doobie left and right as the others have said, on camera (jeez!) I don't think she did herself any favors in the credibility department with her spiel about preferring that her daughter call her when she's too drunk to drive.......because "most kids are probably afraid and will just drive drunk anyway."

Get a clue, woman. It's not going to solve shit. Kids will do what they are going to do and giving them a thumbs up just means you're one more moronic enabling "cool mom" that society does not need.

God, I love this show. Now it's on to The Real Housewives of NYC! Meow!

I'm bored

Whenever in doubt, a good PS shot can't hurt the situation. In my humble (not really)opinion, this pic makes him look like the coolest MoFo on the planet. Of course, he is but this shot really makes this point pop, don't ya think?
