  • Hmm.
    I have new respect for David Crowder after reading much of his book, "Praise Habit". So I'm listening to his new album, so far, so good.

    Saw the movie SERENITY last night. Honestly, I probably wouldn't have seen it on my own. The previews didn't look all that exciting, even though I am quite the sci-fi nut. However, I loved it. Never having watched the show Firefly (which this movie was a continuation of that storyline) I was intrigued by the story and characters. It was action-packed and full of good movie-going fun. PLUS, (film buffs get ready) there is this shot at the beginning of the movie that is seriously, like, three minutes+ without cutting. THAT IS UNHEARD OF in film. Watch a film and see how often shots are cut, especially lately--and this was someone on a steady-cam following the captain around the ship for a LONG time whithout ever cutting. It was amazing and quite the feat of film-making. Only rarely are shots like that succesful because of the amount of time that goes into making that kind of shot a success. But truly, overall, I loved it. I'm sure Mike will talk more about it if he ever gets around to writing another post. I swear...

    SNL was a good opening last night. Not great, but good. There were some funny parts and the new feature player who does the impressions was cool. Yay Mike Myers for being hilarious also...(he made a guest appearance). Steve Carrell is one of my favorite guys--I saw him at least ten years ago on the brief run of THE DANA CARVY SHOW on NBC. I loved him on that show and didn't really see him again until a few years ago on Bruce ALmighty. Then he shows up on Bewitched and The Office...and you all know how I feel about the extremely gross 40-year-old virgin (don't see that EVER). BUt SC's comedy is really funny to me.

    That's it for now. You can pray for our family-I'd appreciate it.

  • I have to agree with you on Serenity.  I noticed that shot as well, it must have been an interesting set for them to have that much of it accessible in a linear fashion...  There were some cool shots on Miranda as well, with the camera spinning around all of the characters.  On the SNL front, I agree with you as well.  My favorite was the "Debbie Downer" thing.  Man, has she met her match!!  :D

  • Already pray for your fam. on a regular basis but will do so more.

  • Serenity rocks.

    So does my nertz game.

  • One of my fave recent sketches on SNL is Debbie Downer, and Steve Carrell was a great addition to that sketch. I hope that becomes a recurring character for him.

    If you haven't seen the Lindsay Lohan/Usher episode from '04, please tivo it next time it is on. Quite possibly one of the funniest sketches ever... and it just so happens to be a Debbie Downer!

    "You're enjoying your day, everything's going your way, then along comes Debbie Downer!"
