Mele Kalikimaka

obama christmas cardAfter stuffing his presidential cabinet full of scientists, economists, political experts, and Nobel Prize-winners (and in record time, too) Barack Obama is now settling his brains for a long winter’s nap.

A new group of FOBs (Friends of Barack) have gathered at an oceanfront estate in Hawaii for a ten-day Christmas vaycay. No word on whether the Clintons have been invited over for the cookie swap.

The forecast for Christmas morning in Oahu: 77 degrees and sunny. The forecast for the USA in 2009: continued crappy with a chance of hope.

    like your forecast for us mainlanders! Wonder if he’ll set up a White House West in the land of Mala Kahliki Maha (or something like that!) to get work done while Washington either sleeps, partys, or plans how to steal THEIR part of 700 billion?
    Happiest of Holidays to the Goddess Family and her fabulous Posters here, and you Know Who you Are !
    Oh…and everyone needs to see the movie: MILK.
    Sean Penn, once more, proves he is one of, if not The. Finest Actor of the current age. Amazing performance. :>

Alice in Wonderland

The word I left the theater with was "boring." Johhny Depp is a marvel, but there was little else there besides a handful of amazing visuals that I'd love to have as posters on my wall, but not as a 108-minute movie.

Edge of Darkness

Mel Gibson does a good angry face, but the British TV series this was based on was sooooo much better.

Crazy Heart

Loved the music, loved Jeff Bridges. But I'm sorry, Maggie Gyllenhaal nearly ruined it for me. Is it too much to ask the Bridges' character might fall for someone in, I don't know, maybe her *thirties* or something?

Sherlock Holmes

Completely ridiculous but oddly endearing. Sorta like Robert Downey Jr.

Fantastic. So simple, so small, but kinda perfect. And very on point with the current economic situation.

The day a filmmaker with an actual story to tell ("unobtanium?!" hilarious.) gets his or hands and this amazing visual technology, that will be something.
