Mel Gibson in "The Colonel"

Mouse at the Oscars

So myself, Beth, and Josh and Megan (the very same Karls from last post) decided to hunker down in a room and watch the Oscars.

We've been told that there are many a' mice roaming the countryside, and during the ceremonies were interrupted by a silhouette near the television.

Movie of the Year

Sorry it's been so long.  Things have been nuts here.


 
If the choice is between Slumdog Millionaire and He's Just Not That Into You, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE choose Slumdog Millionaire.  I feel kind of bad saying this since I haven't seen any other film that's nominated for picture (but have a pretty big desire to see all of them), but I think this one should win it.  Period.  This movie is beyond incredible, and encapsulates my ultimate desires when it comes to filmmaking.

How Cool Is Steve Carell?

Steve Carell owns a general store in Massachusetts. Really.

Steve_carrell_l Not that anyone needs another reason to like Steve Carell, but the Office star has given us one: He recently purchased the Marshfield Hills General Store in his native Massachusetts. The actor and his family spend their summers in Marshfield Hills, and, as Carell told the Boston Globe in an email: "This is much more of an emotional investment than a business one....I saw an opportunity to help to preserve a little piece of history. I also felt that places like the Marshfield Hills General Store represent a gathering place, and give people a sense of community. These spots are growing more and more scarce. I hope to keep this particular one alive and well."
While Carell's local sister-in-law will man the shop most of the time, Steve expects to pitch in when he's in town: "I will be manning the cash register and stocking the shelves as time permits!" he said. We're all thinking road trip, yes? What would you say to Carell if you saw him behind the counter? After I asked him how much the Atomic Fireballs cost (look casual!), I would probably launch into the story about how my friend Christa, a photo editor on a shoot he did for TV Guide years ago when he was still on The Daily Show, framed one of the outtakes and hung it in her bathroom. I think he would appreciate that.
