Admiral Akbar, Indeed!

Can I just say, the trailer for Starsky and Hutch looks goddamn hilarious? And what genius decided to cast Snoop Dog as Huggy Bear? That is just tops!!! Vince Vaughn as the villian...and the CAR! i don't mean that Vince is also playing the car, I just mean that in addition to him playing the villian, there is also the matter of the car...being bad-ass i mean.

My attempt to make Calimari was a crashing failure--mostly due to my getting grossed out and annoyed by the intense amount of disgusting prep work involved in cleaning squid.
First, you have to pull out the bottom half with the tenacles too. Then you take out the thing that looks like a long plastic clear thing. Then you cut a membrane off the eyes, cut the flaps off the head, and scrape off the rest of the skin. Then, if you havent' broken the ink sac (and beleive me--you do NOT want to do break the ink sac), you can either scrap out the head part or slice it open and rinse it out. Then you yank the beak out of the tenacles.

After that of course, its just slice, bread, fry and eat. But I was in no mood for food by that point.
We went to Mc Donalds. Luckily, I had saved extra WW points from over the weekend.

Yay for me!
Boo for squid.

I saw Phillip Seymor Hoffman on Daily Show tonight.
He's going to be one of those guys who alwasy gets tons of acclaim, but never becomes well known or liked among the masses. Sort of like Jared Leto, or Steve Bucemi: respected mostly by people who know and love the business. That's what i'd want if I acted professionally...in a non-porno capacity I mean.

Hmmm.. Vince Vaughn... *Drools*

[wednes.livejournal.com]

Yep!

I'm not sure that I would say Jared Leto falls in that category. I mean, he was a teen hearthrob back in his "My So-Called Life" days. There were pics of him in like "Tiger Beat" and "Bop"........not that I know that. I definitely don't. Never ever read(term being loosely applied) any of those magazines when I was 12.

Well yes, but that was an accident. he never wanted that kind of thing, and when it came time for Leto to choose movie roles, he chose (read: do not count Urban Legend) small roles in great films rather than large roles in shitty ones.

I agree about Philip Seymore Hoffman. I call those actors "That guy who's name I don't know, but he's really good in everything he does."
