Keep Fear Alive!

The only thing we have to fear is that somebody might try to take our fear away!



(And monsters.)

Free movies!

If anybody is interested in a month long trial of NetFlix, let me know. The library is nice, but right now the shining star is their on-demand library that I can watch on my computer.

That's what I want

Having money is obviously bad, because it makes me think I can spend money. I have four new CDs (would have been five, if the difference between storebought and download hadn't been so grotesque for The Like's new album). But now I have the new Sarah Bareilles, Johnny Cash, Florence + the Machine, and Here Comes Science by TMBG (which has a DVD and I am keen to see what's on it).

Coyote Cinema: Easy A

For some reason, I thought this had been out a while, but we caught it opening weekend. It's very funny, it doesn't challenge you too much (but there was one moment of genuine surprise), and it pays homage to the eighties teen flicks to which it is beholden. (Although Amanda felt that, as a tribute to Ferris Bueller, there should be a bit after the credits.) The soundtrack is much the same--pleasant to listen to, with lots of covers.
It really had a chance to say something about the gender binary around sex, and I'm sorry it didn't take a step or two further in that direction. But I'm a sucker for literary references and so I had fun.
Coyote says three and a half wags.
