A poignant, funny day. Off to school little Gabriel goes. When he gets home, he'll need a heavy dose of cartoons, snacks, and cuddling.
"K - as in knife."
The Hangover 2 is definitely a funny movie, but it's, as you might have heard, pretty much a carbon copy of the first film, only with a different, sultrier locale: Thailand. Zach Galifianakis is still hilariously zonked-out, loaded with memorable non sequitirs, Ed Helms and Bradley Cooper still do raggedly confused very well, Ken Jeong is still a wild card, and there's even a drug-running monkey. I enjoyed it, but wondered where the inspiration was this time out.
No real opinions on the SAG awards last night, other than fact that it's detestable that Alec Baldwin has now win six straight years for 30 Rock - my vehement disappointment notwithstanding the fact that I really like Alec Baldwin and his work in 30 Rock. My question is: Do the voting actors actually watch other comedy shows? There will no Oscar surprises in the supporting categories - Christopher Plummer and Octavia Spencer are locks - but the Viola Davis-Meryl Streep battle is getting fiercer. Davis is a brilliant actress, but can the Academy please just end this anybody-but-Meryl charade? This will be her 13th straight loss; but then, this will the sixth loss for the never-won Glenn Close and another goose egg for Michelle Williams. And the statuette might just elude Brad Pitt, too, and that's a shame.
Oh, well, not much today. Time to get the boy.
