  1. Urgh! It's gonna be a month before this soundtrack album can get here from Taiwan? Can someone hook a brother up with a (legal) download?
  2. @Pixelfish But at least Brooklyn Decker isn't nearly as useless/insulting as Megan Fox or Rosie Huntington-Whiteley
  3. @Pixelfish no characters, despite the inexplicable reviews saying it's not as bad as Transformers has become
  4. @Pixelfish I do admit though that it's a much *better* sequel/plot than Battleship, at least.
  5. @Pixelfish I don't follow your point; Avengers *is* a sequel with a warmed-over plot.
  6. #IWish may be the best movie I've seen so far this year; an absolute win for Hirokazu Koreeda. My review wp.me/p12OOH-2Bg
  7. @plumbob78 all week, but likely not after.
  8. @plumbob78 go see "I Wish" at the E Street. You like Japanese stuff.
  9. #Polisse crosses SVU with The Wire, in Paris. My review wp.me/p12OOH-2Ba
  10. @CatherineQ why would you ask about CNN, then?
  11. Everyone in DC, particularly Japanophiles, should catch "I Wish" at the E Street Landmark while it's here this week. Just great.
  12. @pozorvlak I've never found it very useful; some racks aren't in clear view from the street, anyway.
  13. Considered biking to E Street; should be possible but I don't really know the bike rack situation there. Will metro a little early and scout
  14. #FirstPosition is the big-budget version of a proud parent's cloying home videos. My review wp.me/p12OOH-2B4
  15. It's bugging me a little that #NostalgiaDeLaLuz keeps translating "indígenas" as "Indians"
  16. @Higgins_J And the best part of him is that there is a military rank called "Grand Moff"
  17. @ayiasophia @pozorvlak brainpickings.org/index.php/2012…
