susandennisIn December 2002 (the 17th, 18th and 20th) my Mom was in a movie. She was an extra in The Notebook. She got a W-2 that year and nearly wore the damn thing out showing it to everyone.
Now the movie is coming out - July 25. She's been waiting a really long time. Wondering if it was ever going to see the light of day. One time I suggested that it might have been a made for tv movie waiting for sweeps release. Wrong thing to say. She really jumped on that one. Her movie was a REAL movie, thank you very much.
The buzz is beginning... I read a piece on it in Entertainment Weekly yesterday. It sounds pretty dreadful unless you like over the top chick flicks. Wonder if I can hold off seeing it until it comes out on DVD where I can kind of fast forward until I get to the part with old people?
I'm having a hard time understanding what the big deal is about the Spiderman adverts on the baseball field. There are advertisements on just about everything else at the ballpark from the drink cups to the protective cups (I'm only guessing here, mores the pity) - so what's so sacred about the bases??? And if it keeps the price of tickets down or gives us more/better baseball, great. If not, I still don't understand the outrage.
Janeane Garafalo on The Daily Show this week was just plain scary. I have not heard her radio show but if this interview was any indication, I hope the Bush administration is paying her well cause she's serving their cause beautifully. I cannot remember the phrase for something or someone working ostensibly for one cause while effectively for another but that's her.
