Pete shouldn't be allowed near booze after 5 p.m.

For me
I have to listen to something with a beat. So most of my workout music is ACDC, Guns N' Roses, anything metal. Or electronica, like the Chemical Brothers.

Cool
Thanks for the interview. I haven't seen him in anything, but I'll have to check out his work.

Only 3
"Down to You": I plead youth, since I was in eighth grade at the time. This is the only one I saw in the theatre.

A lot of Cirque du Soleil.

A LOT of Cirque du Soleil.

I thought you meant Chapel Hill, but it was Pembroke. What's a guy like Chuck D doing in Pembroke?

THAT's where I've seen her before! Thanks, that's been nagging me.

Peggy
I'm kind of surprised Peggy gave it up for a Hermes scarf. She should've held out for a Kelly bag.
Imagine what she'd do for Chanel.

It seemed Don was trying not to grimace during that whole exchange with the other dad. Case in point: when the dad mentioned seeing the teacher running, and Don said, "you see the teacher?"

JFK dies, but "Doctor Who" debuts. I'm betting Paul will get into it in the next season.

Saw it last night
I wasn't a fan. I haven't seen the original, but I could tell this one was trying too hard.
I thought there were too many characters to spend much time with and really get to know them. I don't know, it seemed a bit generic.
But that's just me.

Yeah, for nostalgia purposes, then it'll slip down quite rapidly.

I haven't seen the original, but I wasn't a fan of this remake. It felt too generic to me.

Saw it last night, it does gloss over the grittier parts.

Yeah, I kept expecting Jody Sawyer to show up en pointe and then a shot of Peter Gallagher and his eyebrows applauding.

Yeah, it was back in 2003. I had a few problems with what was changed, but it was pretty good overall.

She also played Alsana in the BBC's adaptation of "White Teeth" in 2003.

As soon as Betty gave her the doll, my first thought was that she'd decapitate it.
Close enough.

On a related note, I loved seeing that old-school Barbie. They certainly don't make 'em like they used to.
