One Tree Hill Season 7

I haven't seen this week's episode yet, so this doesn't really relate to anything so far, but it was confirmed last week.

Chad Michael Murray says he is NOT coming back.

Thoughts?

My thoughts: he seems like a total jerk in the video. (Click the link above.)

Oscars Oscars Oscars

So the Academy announced that the 2010 Oscars will take place in March because of the 2010 winter Olympic games. I'm okay with this. I will totally be all about some Olympics and then all about some Oscars! It'll be great!

And while we speak of Oscars, I can't remember if I posted this yet or not, but either way it relates, so enjoy. LA Times has a list of movies to watch for in 2009 as the front-runners in the Oscar race!

And still on the topic of Oscars, FilmJunk has a list of the 10 Worst Performances from Oscar-Winning Actors. My faves on the list are Cuba Gooding Jr and Forest Whitaker. haha

Zac Efron no longer in Footloose remake

Just so you know, Zac Efron is no longer going to be starring in the Footloose remake. The movie is still being made without him, but has dropped quite a few levels for me now in interest. We'll see who replaces him.

Can I also say - on the topic of Footloose - that I watched Hot Rod for the first time this weekend and my favorite part was the Footloose dance remake! Hilarious!

Trailer: Taking Woodstock

This is the new Ang Lee movie coming out this year starring Emile Hirsch, Liev Schreiber, Jeffrey Dean Morgan and newcomer Demetri Martin

I think it looks great! I'm really excited about it!

New Moon Wolves!

They look pretty cute! Maybe New Moon really will be better than Twilight! I feel like it won't take much effort for it to be better, so I'm looking forward to it!

Quote for the Day

“Well,” said Pooh, “what I like best—” and then he had to stop and think. Because although Eating Honey was a very good thing to do, there was a moment just before you began to eat it which was better than when you were, but he didn’t know what it was called.
-Winnie the Pooh

Andy Samberg hosting MTV Movie Awards

I'm excited! I think Andy Samberg is hilarious and he'll do great hosting the MTV Movie Awards! Much better than the awkward-ness that was Sarah Silverman a couple of years ago. Eek! I hope him & Justin Timberlake do some sort of performance together!

Trailer: Year One

I love Michael Cera. Really all I need to know is that he's in the movie and I'll be seeing it. Awesome.

Let's Talk About American Idol

Love them:

Matt Giraud
He reminds me of a more blues-y, piano playing Justin Timberlake. I really like him a lot!

Danny Gokey
He seems like a genuinely nice guy and he can sing!! He sings stuff that I expect to sound just horrible and he always pulls it off!


Hate them:
Adam Lambert
He tries to act so hardcore, but omg he's such a freaking poser. I think he looks ridiculous and I don't like him at all. He's way too theatrical - and I like theatrical! And I've been to a hardcore show. If he showed up at a hardcore show, he would get his butt kicked.

Michael Sarver
He's a nice guy and I like the family-man thing and he can sing just fine, but his days are numbered. I don't think he should have stayed over Alexis. She definitely deserved to be in the Top 10 more than he does.

Anoop Desai
He can definitely sing, but he just doesn't seem very creative or unique. I'm bored with him.


Honorable mentions:
Allison Iraheta
I think she does awesome with the songs like the Heart song that she sang. I want her to do more stuff like that! Her voice is awesome! She reminds me of Kelly Clarkson.

Megan Joy
With the exception of her just hideous dance moves, I think Megan is unique and I really like her voice - although I would prefer to just see still pictures of her and then listen to her cd. Sometimes when she is on stage I feel really awkward about her performances.

Scott MacIntyre
I have a soft spot for him. While I don't think he will win, I do enjoy the way he plays piano and the things he does. He's very Billy Joel for me.

Trailer: Where the Wild Things Are

You know I've been following the development of this movie for a while now and I am just super excited about the new trailer! I heard that it was released today, but I didn't see it until I watched Ellen tonight! I love it! I think it looks just awesome!!!

Deadpool

This post is for my husband, Lewis. Deadpool is one of his favorite comic book characters and so we've been really excited about his character being in the new Wolverine movie. And we've been really excited that Ryan Reynolds is playing Deadpool!

So Ryan Reynolds did an interview where he was talking about the character in the movie. He says that Deadpool in the movie is more a portrayal of Wade Wilson who becomes Deadpool. "Well, it's an origin story, so again I don't consider myself playing Deadpool. I'm the thing that will eventually become Deadpool. But yea, he's scarred up. You're gonna see the scars. That's all in there." He also said that he has been approached for a Deadpool movie, but he's waiting to discuss that until after X-Men Origins: Wolverine comes out. "I've had a couple of people approach me about meetings for a Deadpool movie, but I think it's absurd to think that way until this movie comes out."
