From Whey-over-there-lona

Here I am, but as (one of?) the European contributors, my job will be to cover the ...and even more!/review/otherwise interact socially department. To kick it off, here's an Otherwise Socially Interactive question for da Etcescadrille:

What was the Best/Worst film you saw this year? Of course, this is the it's not just for moovies anymore blog, so I fully expect you to make up your own categories, like the Best Film I Hated or the Give Me Back My Money! film of the year, but cleverer.

My submissions, though keep in mind my memory is crap and I have only a vague idea of what I saw this year:

• Least Irritating So Far: This goes to The Island and hits two irritants at once; not only was this the least irritating Michael Bay film, it was also the least irritating Scarlett Johansson performance I've seen.
• Awfully Glad I'm Human: Thanks to The March of the Penguins for reminding me how good I have it.

What say you?

Here's Jon(nie)!

With all the news that's fit to print from the Willamette Valley and beyond. Thanks for the invite. Couldn't pass that one up now, could I?

Joining Up

As a person with a pre-existing blog, when I accepted the invitation, I got evil messages about cookie and java security settings. And then the acceptance process froze. But, lo and behold, here I am. I guess it was just meaningless PC gibberish... like when Windows tells me I have *critical* updates. Hah.

Now I guess I have to post a link to this blog in mine other.

Links galore

So, I posted some links over in the sidebar -- please send me any others you think would be good to have up there for one-stop shopping excitement!

Yippee!

Movies, and parties, and more--oh my!
