Two movies, some lesbians, and multiple personalities

In an effort to cure the bad taste left after Benjamin Buttons, I threw in Burn After Reading. 37 minutes later, I turned off this movie. It was bizare and ridiculous and I just could not get into an old Brad trying to be 22 - although I understand that there are many guys at the gym who think they are young and act like idiots. John Malcovich is the only reason I kept the movie on longer than I did. Clooney was also annoying. I am not sure why Cool Guy, and others, liked this movie. It did zip for me.

Puccini for Beginners - talk about annoying pseudo intellectual lipstick pseudo lesbians. I hate all the actresses who starred in this B movie and once I saw the plot change from annoying lesbians to annoying lesbian who falls for a really nice guy who too bad so sad should have been with someone worth his awesomeness. 15 minutes. It did not occur to me until this moment that I saw this movie before - but lasted much longer than 15 minutes. No wonder it was all so familiar.

I didn't really care about Puccini because I knew the L word was coming. Then I saw the LWord and was once again disappointed. I cannot even describe what we watched except that it was a MESS. Jenny did not die, they once again re-wrote or re-characterized last year's ending, bette and tina are still bette and tina, and the whole gang just annoyed me. I talked through the whole thing which is pretty normal. Jdog just watches in silence and humors me when I say can we please pause - and then I go off about the ridiculousness of the chain lock on the door at Jenny's house (too long for proper intruder prevention); and the idiocy of staying in the black dress and pumps when you come home from an event; and who doesn't run when their kid is burning up with fever and barely able to breathe; and was the brown whole foods bag really necessary other than corporate donations; and advil must have been a smaller sponsor of the dam show because they mentioned it 2 times and who doesn't use Children's (insert brand name here); and I HATE EVERYONE!

I was finally able to pull the hot poker from my eye ball and we watched United States of Tara, on Shotime, starring Tina Collette and John Corbett. Stephen Spielberg is EP. The story is about a woman (Tina) who suffers from multiple personality disorder - she has a family and they too are obviously deadling with mom/wife's issues. We meet two of the alters - and I must say the show is very good. excellent. Hysterical and touching. Emotional and heartwarming. Definitly worth the watch.
