"are you being snippy with me? god is snippy."
(completely unrelated, jacob have you heard of this movie?)
i just watched this new show called joan of arcadia about, you guessed it, a modern day jeanne d'arc.
this show bothered me on many levels. god appears in human form and wanders into her life and tells her to do things. god. being all chatty. god. then he takes a different form all the time. but one of the first and so far longest running ones (there's been a total of one episode so this isn't saying much) he takes is that of a cute high school boy. to fit in while talking to joan. this immediately made my brain jump to the conclusion that she should have a crush (which she even admits to). he should reciprocate. there should be smooching. but no, because he's GOD.
but they've raised my expectations for high school romance now. i can't be satisfied with this god character next showing up as a middle-aged, african-american woman masquerading as a lunch lady and wearing a hair net.
this show is just wrong. the final straw came when i realized that john ritter's son, jason, is playing joan's older brother in a wheelchair. it's like capitalization. only really not. fuck this i'm going to bed.

I’m also fascinated. I almost got that dude’s (Bruce Campbell’s) autobiography, but then I realized I would never actually read it, just like the book I bought by Ben Stein.

I love the show Joan of Arcadia, but I agree with the person that talked about how nothing will ever happen with the hot “God” character and the adorable “brother” character, played by Jason Ritter. But, it is still a very good show! Very funny! By the way, it’s on CBS.

IMDB says Bubba Ho-Tep is a 2002 movie, yet I saw a preview for it when I watched Thirteen at the Hillcrest Cinemas in San Diego. What’s the deal? Has it come out yet? I’d love to go see it in a big group.
Btw, Michelle, have you seen Thirteen yet? It’ll rock your world.
Btw2, I still need to get that shirt from you.

Michele, how can you be falling behind on your movie watching? Isn’t that your full-time job these days? I feel like I’ve entered the twilight zone.

but Thirteen has hot girls kissing, hitting each other in the face (unrelated to the kissing), a cute stoner surfer brother, and Holly Hunter in the best role ever!
