Don’t even think of entering here. As far as you’re concerned, the rest of the planet beyond this point is out of bounds.

Five Days of Photos: Ireland 2009

Mr. Goddess and I are back from a rather spontaneous five-day vacation to Ireland with the lovely Swartzes and the lovely Keilys and it was all quite lovely. 
Don’t believe me? Check this out:

Yeah, that’s what I’m talkin’ about. You don’t see that running out to the Home Depot in Langhorne, now do ya?

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.

An Education

Sally Sparrow from Dr. Who is all-grown up! You do feel as if you are watching a star in the making in Carey Mulligan.

Pirate Radio
The Little 11.13.09
Funny in bits (best bit: Bill Nighy dancing) but not funny as a whole. A bit episodic, with a ridiculous ending.

A Serious Man
The Little 11.07.09
The Coen brothers have made another divisive film: I really like it; Mr. Goddess hated it. I thought it was deeply funny and deeply ... deep.

Capitalism: A Love Story
The Little 10.05.09
Unlike other Michael Moore docs, this was more of a piece of investigative journalism than a political screed. Moore shines his light on for-profit prisons, the appallingly low salaries of airline pilots, and the "dead peasant" insurance policies companies take out on their own employees -- all in the name of making a profit out of anything.
