I drank a bit too much last night and I'm paying for it now. UGH. I hate flying with a hangover. (The absolute worst was the morning after my sister's bachelorette party. UGH.)

Before I leave, I meme:

The Unpopular Opinions Meme

1) Comment with one of my fandoms or a character or two from that fandom.
2) I'll answer with one or two of my unpopular opinions about that fandom or character.
OR! You can also comment with fandoms I'm not into, and I'll tell you why I'm not a fan.

Fandoms I'm in/shows I'm fannish about: BSG, SGA, SG-1, SPN, West Wing, Torchwood, Harry Potter, SCC, ST:TNG, Boston Legal, CSI, Criminal Minds.

Today is Warren Beatty's birthday. It's the only celebrity birthday I know (except for David Hewlett and Melissa Joan Heart and that's because we all have the same birthday :) ) and here we are another year past. He turns 71 today and hasn't appeared in a film since 2001 but remains my forever favorite.

I just opened up this week's EW to find a feature on the Special Edition release of 'Bonnie and Clyde' available tomorrow. Surprise!

My favorite movie of all time on 2 discs with extras and an "A" from EW!!

I saw this movie for the first time in 1990 and probably 50+ times since. Here's my favorite quote (which I try to deliver but simply can not match the tone and quality of Faye Dunaway): "The only special thing about you, Clyde Barrow, are your peculiar ideas about lovemaking which is no love making at all!" It's said with the intention of hurting Clyde but Bonnie is hurt, too. They're running scared and trying to make sense of something that's bigger than both of them when, really, a boy just wanted to impress a girl and the girl just wanted out, out, out of her boring, dead end life.

In addition to Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway you have Gene Hackman as Clyde's brother and Estelle Parsons (who won an Oscar for her role) as Buck's wife. "My eye! My eye!"

The violence in the movie isn't shocking by today's standards but it was back in 1967 and still gets to me every time I watch particularly the ending which left me dumbstruck the first time I saw the film. I also have to mention the soundtrack which set the tone for the story perfectly.

An A from EW and an anticipatory A+ from me.

* This here is illustrates one of the many reasons I love Justin. He's not afraid to make fun of himself and he always looks good doing it. (Well, except for the omelet. Yellow tights are rough on even the best of us.)

ghettogreta - Here's the Vanity Fair scan of Jennifer Nettles you requested. The text at the bottom is a little blurry but hopefully the text isn't what you were after.

* My garage door isn't closing correctly and a neighborhood animal ate my pumpkin. I need both a full time maintenance man and a full time gourd sitter.

* My mom's oncologist recommended the radical double mastectomy. It's not a surprise but it feels heavier now that it's real. I'm so proud of my mom for taking proactive measures. She's brave and strong and doesn't need her breasts to continue being either of those things.

* Warren Beatty! He's so reclusive, particularly since he settled into family life, so this week's interview in EW came as a huge surprise! (And a very welcome one, at that.) 25 years after it was released, "Reds" comes to DVD and Beatty is finally doing press on the film. He even participated in a DVD documentary! I may have to override my "No DVD's until the place in FL sells" rule for this one.
