My trinity is complete. 11:53 PM

The third piece is now in my possession...

You can laugh while reading a book? 8:52 PM

Evidently you can, as I found out while reading my new favorite book...

I honestly don't think I've ever enjoyed a book as much as I did I Love You, Beth Cooper. I started laughing aloud on page 2 and did not stop until end. And these were not "Heh" laughs. They were "OMG. I CAN'T BREATHE" laughs! "BRITTANY! COME HERE! Listen to this!" laughs. I Love You, Beth Cooper is about a geek in high school, named Denis "The Penis" Cooverman, who decides to proclaim his love for the school's head cheerleader, Beth Cooper, during his graduation speech in front of the whole school. Thus leading to the craziest night of his life. The whole story takes place in one night; Reminiscent of high school comedies like Dazed and Confused. I love "how crazy can one night get" stories and this is a funny one. Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE should read this book. Do yourself a favor, listen to me and go check it out.

Go see this... 1:27 AM

Easily one of the best movies I have seen all year long is Slumdog Millionaire.  I walked in not knowing too much and this movie blew me away.  The story was great, the quality of the direction and editing were hard not to take notice of. This movie feels a lot like City of God, only this movie has a ray of shining optimism about it, where City of God did not. I cannot fully express how much I enjoyed this movie. All I can say is that, right now, were it not for The Dark Knight, Slumdog Millionaire would be my pick for movie of the year.

Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist 10:28 PM

Saw another advance screening tonight. This one turned out a lot better than Burn After Reading did. This is one of my favorite movies so far this year. Easily relatable and completely likable. This movie has heart and just makes you feel so damn good. Random applause actually broke out at one point. I had a grin ear to ear for the final 5 minutes of this movie. I just had a great time watching this movie and cannot recommend it enough. Go see it when it comes out October 3rd. It's a good date movie. Plus, who doesn't like Michael Cera?

Burn After Reading. 11:57 PM

I saw an advance screening of it tonight. It's easy to like a movie with characters that are relatable. Too bad this movie doesn't have too many. Everyone is so unlikable and all are either ass****s, douches, annoying, or all of the above. Brad Pitt and George Clooney come off almost pretentous. As if, they realize they are being so much more goofy and insane than the usually are and know that they are better than this. But I guess they think that is where the funny is supposed to come from.

This movie also has a bit of violence. I guess that is almost to be expected from the Coens at this point but then again they have quite a few comedies without it so I didn't know whether we'd see some or not. And we do. And I hated it. The first act of random violence, shocks you so much that I can't even comprehend how the hell it happened. And the second act of violence really bummed me out and was so overly-violent just for violence's sake that my girlfriend and I did something I have never done in 19 years of my life...walked out of the movie.

I found the plot to be getting a little out of hand. And I couldn't figure out why the characters were doing what they were doing or where the story itself was going. But there is a single scene with J.K. Simmons that makes you realize that you are not really supposed to. Which was a funny scene in itself and relieved me that I wasn't the only one not "getting it" but then again, it also made everything seem so ridiculous and pointless.

The movie did have it's funny moments where I found myself laughing. But with unlikable characters doing stupid things all movie long, I felt I was wasting my time not being entertained, but instead, really annoyed and aggrivated. I gave Burn After Reading an hour and a half of my time and couldn't even wait out the last half hour[or whatever it would have been] to see how anything turned out. I just couldn't.

I hated Burn After Reading.

Summer Days 1:00 AM

Friday Night At 9 o'Clock. 11:10 PM

Disneyland, is that you??

No. Believe or not, this is picture was not taken in Disneyland. But rather, The Fountains, right here in Roseville! Who'da thunk it? Roseville is blowin' up! We now even have our own water dancing show. And it's even set to music. Haha. Take a seat, Bellagio. The Fountains is here!


And here's a picture of my beautiful girlfriend from earlier in the evening...

"Hi, I'm Brittany. And I'm cute."

I am so copy-catting this shit someday and making my own...

Pineapple Express 11:12 PM

I saw an advance screening of Pineapple Express tonight and it was great! It was absolutely hilarious. The first half of the movie is just flat out funny but then the second half was something that I, for one, wasn't really expecting. This movie went hardcore action flick. I was not expecting it to be violent, the way it was, at all. But it was awesome. Yet, still continued to be funny, never sacrificing humor for action but instead giving us a great mixture of the two. With some of the best fights I've seen in movies this year. I'm not kidding either. The whole crowd had collective "OH!"s, "OUCH!", and "SSSS"s. Haha. Both Seth Rogan and James Franco are perfect. Neither outshine the other. It honestly just may have been the most overall entertaining movie I have seen so far this year. It's a lot of fun.

Christopher Nolan -- Of Heath Ledger 2:25 AM

Heath Ledger

1979-2008

"One night, as I'm standing on LaSalle Street in Chicago, trying to line up a shot for "The Dark Knight," a production assistant skateboards into my line of sight. Silently, I curse the moment that Heath first skated onto our set in full character makeup. I'd fretted about the reaction of Batman fans to a skateboarding Joker, but the actual result was a proliferation of skateboards among the younger crew members. If you'd asked those kids why they had chosen to bring their boards to work, they would have answered honestly that they didn't know. That's real charisma—as invisible and natural as gravity. That's what Heath had.

Heath was bursting with creativity. It was in his every gesture. He once told me that he liked to wait between jobs until he was creatively hungry. Until he needed it again. He brought that attitude to our set every day. There aren't many actors who can make you feel ashamed of how often you complain about doing the best job in the world. Heath was one of them.

One time he and another actor were shooting a complex scene. We had two days to shoot it, and at the end of the first day, they'd really found something and Heath was worried that he might not have it if we stopped. He wanted to carry on and finish. It's tough to ask the crew to work late when we all know there's plenty of time to finish the next day. But everyone seemed to understand that Heath had something special and that we had to capture it before it disappeared. Months later, I learned that as Heath left the set that night, he quietly thanked each crew member for working late. Quietly. Not trying to make a point, just grateful for the chance to create that they'd given him.

Those nights on the streets of Chicago were filled with stunts. These can be boring times for an actor, but Heath was fascinated, eagerly accepting our invitation to ride in the camera car as we chased vehicles through movie traffic—not just for the thrill ride, but to be a part of it. Of everything. He'd brought his laptop along in the car, and we had a high-speed screening of two of his works-in-progress: short films he'd made that were exciting and haunting. Their exuberance made me feel jaded and leaden. I've never felt as old as I did watching Heath explore his talents.

That night I made him an offer—knowing he wouldn't take me up on it—that he should feel free to come by the set when he had a night off so he could see what we were up to.

When you get into the edit suite after shooting a movie, you feel a responsibility to an actor who has trusted you, and Heath gave us everything. As we started my cut, I would wonder about each take we chose, each trim we made. I would visualize the screening where we'd have to show him the finished film—sitting three or four rows behind him, watching the movements of his head for clues to what he was thinking about what we'd done with all that he'd given us. Now that screening will never be real. I see him every day in my edit suite. I study his face, his voice. And I miss him terribly.

Back on LaSalle Street, I turn to my assistant director and I tell him to clear the skateboarding kid out of my line of sight when I realize—it's Heath, woolly hat pulled low over his eyes, here on his night off to take me up on my offer. I can't help but smile."
