Thank You for Smoking

by Jason Reitman

Aaron Eckhart. Rawr.

God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything

by Christopher Hitchens

Great book. Unfortunately I had to cancel my Christopher Hitchens Fan Club membership after I read his Vanity Fair essay “Why Women Aren’t Funny.” http://www.vanityfair.com/culture/features/2007/01/hitchens200701

A story about "The Riches (season 1)"

The Riches (season 1)

by Eddie Izzard

Great stuff. Very impressed by Eddie Izzard’s acting chops, since I’ve only seen him do comedy. Minnie Driver is good as well.

Humphrey Bogart - The Signature Collection, Vol. 1 (Casablanca Two-Disc Special Edition / The Treasure of the Sierra Madre Two-Disc Special Edition / They Drive by Night / High Sierra)

I consumed 2 of the 3. Works for me.

Cool Hand Luke

by Stuart Rosenberg

Great movie. And Paul Newman is, indeed, The Man!

A story about "Hud"

nobody@allconsuming.net (Maggie the cat) — Mon, 07 May 2007 17:35:34 GMT

Hud

by Martin Ritt

This is a great movie; great acting and cinematography and still quite modern. I wish I hadn’t waited so long to see it.

A story about "The Iraq Study Group Report: The Way Forward - A New Approach"

nobody@allconsuming.net (Maggie the cat) — Mon, 12 Feb 2007 18:43:07 GMT

The Iraq Study Group Report: The Way Forward - A New Approach

by The Iraq Study Group

Depressing…I borrowed it briefly when I was out of town for X-mas. I think I got up to Recommendation 58. Just reading it pisses me off, especially since I found out recently that my stepbrother is going to Iraq.

TOTAL BULLSHIT—the war, not the book.

A story about "Watermelon"

nobody@allconsuming.net (Maggie the cat) — Thu, 11 Jan 2007 18:50:12 GMT

Watermelon

by Marian Keyes

I love this book. It is the first Marian Keyes book I ever read and still my favorite: hilarious and endearing.

it's good, but....

Play

by Moby

i liked it better when it first came out. Edit: actually a fantastic CD to drive to and very diverse musically.

A story about "black leather jacket"

nobody@allconsuming.net (Maggie the cat) — Mon, 27 Nov 2006 22:58:06 GMT

black leather jacket

It’s not really leather, but so what? Less guilt that way.

A story about "wrap dress"

nobody@allconsuming.net (Maggie the cat) — Sat, 11 Nov 2006 03:54:22 GMT

wrap dress

I’m really not sure about this dress. It’s a bit on the snug side and where am I going to wear it?? It is classy, though.

More like a wedding thud. (rated 2 stars)

Wedding Crashers - Unrated (Widescreen New Line Platinum Series)

by David Dobkin

Overrated…and I rented it.

Why I want to consume "cashmere sweater"

nobody@allconsuming.net (Maggie the cat) — Fri, 10 Nov 2006 18:14:43 GMT

cashmere sweater

It’s classy.

A review of "gingerbread cookies"

nobody@allconsuming.net (Maggie the cat) — Fri, 10 Nov 2006 17:10:50 GMT

gingerbread cookies

These really screwed up my WW points. Well, OK, I screwed up my WW points by continually stuffing them in my mouth, but whatever.

Why it's taking me forever to finish consuming "Foucault's Pendulum"

nobody@allconsuming.net (Maggie the cat) — Thu, 14 Sep 2006 17:06:36 GMT

Foucault's Pendulum

by Umberto Eco

so far, i’m underwhelmed.

Very interesting (rated 4 stars)

Pornified: How Pornography Is Transforming Our Lives, Our Relationships, and Our Families

by Pamela Paul

This eye-opening book is a fascinating look at the transformative nature of modern pornography (not the relatively demure Playboys of your father’s youth). Topics addressed include: rising rates of pornography addiction; pornography, body image and relationships; the easy availability of pornography to children; and the distortion of reality that pornography promotes.

Disappointing (rated 2 stars)

It's the Little Things: Everyday Interactions That Anger, Annoy, and Divide the Races

by Lena Williams

Insightful but largely anecdotal and opinionated.

Why I recommend "Little Miss Sunshine"

nobody@allconsuming.net (Maggie the cat) — Sat, 09 Sep 2006 23:18:19 GMT

Little Miss Sunshine

by Valerie Faris

It’s been a while since I enjoyed a movie this much. It’s well-written and well-acted and unpredictably hilarious. It makes you feel good without being even the slightest bit hokey.

Maggie rules, but... (rated 2 stars)

nobody@allconsuming.net (Maggie the cat) — Fri, 18 Aug 2006 00:21:18 GMT

Secretary

I like Maggie G and James Spader and quirky movies, so this seemed like a good fit. But I really, really didn’t like it.

Why it's taking me forever to finish consuming "benefit dandelion blush"

nobody@allconsuming.net (Maggie the cat) — Sun, 16 Apr 2006 20:22:52 GMT

benefit dandelion blush

by BeneFit makeup company

It lasts a long time, but it is only worth it if you don’t mind paying $26 for blush. I mean, come on.

A story about "Flying Saucer Tour 1"

nobody@allconsuming.net (Maggie the cat) — Sun, 16 Apr 2006 20:21:24 GMT

Flying Saucer Tour 1

by Bill Hicks

Great CD, but I would definitely recommend “Philosophy”.
