Today's T.T. is probably a bit of a bore compared to last week's. Let's be honest though. I'm large with child and feel like this babe might fall out at any moment (mmm...you know that's a good feeling). So I'm not feeling up for a whole lot. I think I'm mostly going to ramble.
Here's what I have to say:
1. Dreamgirls is an amazing movie. Do you agree? Is Jennifer Hudson a rockstar or what?!
2. The Bicycle Thief is thought-provoking and depressing as can be. Movies like that are good for me. I take sooooooo much for granted. You should watch it. It's such a classic and important in movie history. But don't watch Beijing Bicycle (a Chinese take-off on The Bicycle Thief). It is practically the same depressing story, but way violent. Didn't like that.
3. I'm super into Pride and Prejudice as of late--the good ol' 6 hour version. I've caught bits on PBS the last couple of Sundays and finally borrowed the DVDs from my friend, Rachel, so I can see the whole thing. How can you not love Colin Firth as Mr. Darcy?
4. Did you watch the Oscars? I love to watch every year. I love to see the fabulous dresses and jewels and imagine myself on the red carpet (no lie). Unfortunately I don't watch a lot of movies that are violent (I am a total wussy) or that are super edgy, which means that The Oscars aren't as fun to watch anymore because I haven't seen most of the nominated films. The Coen brothers rocked it last night. Good for them. I think they are geniuses (evidence: Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?) And I really want to see La Vie en Rose now. And Cate Blanchett looked darling with her pregnant belly dressed up so glam. And Helen Mirren is a vision. And I want Cameron Diaz's arms. And Jack Nicholson is a hoot. And I think Ellen is a better host than Jon Stewart. And I loved the montage in which they showed all 79 Best Pictures. I love it all. Can't help myself. What did you think?

Love Dreamgirls. Love P&P. Love the Oscars. Loved Helen's dress. And, would love to see you out on the red carpet! I am sure you would steal the show!
I did not watch the Oscars. I have no cable TV in my home. haha...it is better that way though. I tend to fall into the boob tube trap all too often.
Thank you for the update. The red carpet is a glamorous place, indeed.
I am looking more forward to the baby update though...can't wait!
I love Pride and Prejudice! Haven't seen the Colin Firth version yet, but I'm sure it's a must.
As for the Oscars, I didn't get to watch them! We don't have cable, so I usually go to Yahoo News and check out the picture gallery afterwards. It is so fun to see who the pics are for "best and worst dressed". Oh, and for a second there I thought you said Jack Nicholson is hot, instead of a hoot. Had to go back and re-read that one for sure; thought maybe that baby was getting a little too heavy and making you lightheaded!
I didn't even know the oscars was on. Where have I been? without a TV that's where I guess. Are you in labor yet? And can I come watch P&P with you. Love it! I rented it on Netflix once and watched the whole thing in one day. Seriously I have no life.
I hope your baby doesn't fall out (I mena till its time)
Oscars was? how bout were.
I'm bona fide! ( Little shout out to Oh Brother) We got to watch the Oscars on the Tivo delay and loved that! I enjoyed the montage of the movies. I also like to see who has passed during the year. Someone online mentioned they forgot Brad Renfro, who I totally enjoyed in The Client. I guess he wasn't as cool as Heath Ledger.
Have you seen Life is Beautiful? That is one of those shows that I watched after seeing Roberto win his Oscar.
I have loved the 6 hour version of P&P for a long time but the PBS series got me watching it again. And 4 yr old Sophie is hooked. She likes to watch the wedding over and over. And she didn't like Mr Darcy at first - I had to try to explain how he changed and Miss Bennett changed her mind about him! Pretty funny.
A couple Saturdays ago I watched the entire BBC P&P and then watched the Keira Knightly one right after! Wonderful day.
I also love watching the oscars. Didn't you love that they let the girl who won best song come back out and say her thank yous?!
