Doesn't that title sound like a paper some crazy person would write? Yep...I am that crazy person!
OK...so I am now on Facebook. I resisted as long as possible but finally just gave up and set up an account. Now I have entered the world of Social Media. I can now get a MySpace account, set up a Twitter account and have it all sent to my BlackBerry. I get that I can do all those things, what I don't get is why anyone would give a darn about what I am doing. For those of you who know me, I am not that interesting. Apparently, based on the status updates of most people, they are not that interesting either. If I had something momumental to say...such as..."Beth is about to solve the mystery of the LOST numbers" or "Beth is one step away from discovering the cure for cancer"...these would be interesting. "Beth is mad about Gossip Girl being a rerun" is, well, boring...even for me.
I am thinking this. This social media explosion is just the first step towards the unavoidable show down between the humans and some SkyNet type thing (thanks Terminator). When will the machines take over...and when will they start making my dinner. I mean, come on. They were promising flying cars and those "Auto Chef" type of things back in the 50s. The government should have all the technology from the Area 51 crash figured out by now and I should have my flying car! I am sure that Obama will fix this grievous oversight. Just in case he doesn't, I guess we will all get a glimpse into our future when Terminator Salvation comes out in the summer. Is Christian Bale in everything now or is it just me? He annoys me...right up there with Russell Crowe. He is not sexy and he is annoying...I can find that combo at the local Wally World boys, I don't need to plunk down $40 bucks at the local cinama to see you guys. In addition to not sexy and annoying, did you hear that Bale totally flipped out on this guy that accidently walked through his shot on a movie set? He went nuts and dropped more F-Bombs in the conversation than in a Judd Apatow movie! He was trying to focus people because he can't act! Now he says he is SO sorry...that is such a PR move...trust me on this...I know a PR move when I see one. Enough about Bale...
So, I saw Defiance. It was an amazing true story of four Jewish brothers who banded together during the height of WWII to save about 1,200 fellow Jews from the Nazi. Daniel Craig does a great job as does Liev Schreiber. Of course, as with any movie involving Jews during WWII in or near Germany, bad things happen. If only Indiana Jones could have gotten all those Nazi but, oh no, he had to go off looking for those stupid stones in the second movie before he got back to kicking Nazi butt in The Last Crusade. I know, I shouldn't lay it all off on Indy but that movie with the stones just sucked!
Where was I, oh...that's right...rambling on aimlessly...
Anyway, Defiance is a good movie but don't let them fool you into believing that these guys are going to win against the Nazi force. They only win by staying alive and outlasting the Hitler following crazies.
I plan on going to see Confessions of a Shopaholic this weekend. It looks like good fun. After reading the book and seeing the previews, it does seem that they took some major liberties with the story line but it still looks cute. We are going to see it with a friend and she picked it for her birthday. I would rather see people killing each other for a good cause, but, it isn't MY birthday yet. Guess I will just have to pop in that Wanted DVD for my "guy movie" fix.
The Popcorn Report on Confessions of a Shopaholic will be coming soon. If I am too lazy to write one, you can always look it up on EW.com. Don't get mad...I may have more important things to do like post on Facebook how "Beth is trying to make sure the fridge light really does go out when she shuts the door".
