Thoughts for this Thursday: 

- It's picture day for Gabriel Fischer!  Always a fun occasion, always hilarious/adorable results. 
 

- Julia is on spring break next week.  Her goal is to read a lot, finish her dissertation, and stay home every single day. 

- Savannah tomorrow! 

- Crazy couple of days in NFL free agency.  Denver-Seattle is looking like a possible Super Bowl matchup next year.

- Julia now has me into Millionaire Matchmaker... Uh, oh. 

- There's going to be a Veronica Mars movie!  http://insidetv.ew.com/2013/03/13/veronica-mars-movie-is-a-go-kickstarter/

New Movies Opening This Weekend:

The Incredible Burt Wonderstone    Despite an impressive cast - Steve Carell, Jim Carrey, Steve Buscemi, Olivia Wilde, James Gandolfini, Alan Arkin - this comedy about rival magicians in Las Vegas has only gotten tepid reviews.  No one finds it that funny.  The script is by four writers, including the ones for Horrible Bosses.

The Call    This one looks like it can be in the vein of Cellular, a preposterous but trim, fast-moving B-movie.  It took three screenwriters to concoct this plot about a 911 operator who receives a call from a teenager (Abigail Breslin) who has been kidnapped and stored in the trunk of a moving car by a killer.  I like director Brad Anderson's films, though: The Vanishing on 7th Street, Transsiberain, Session 9.  
(Yes)

Spring Breakers
    A conversation piece if there ever was one, Harmony Korine's film is an in-you-face, graphic, volatile work about a horde of coeds partying on the Florida coast during the most famous week in college life.  James Franco reportedly steals the film as a cornrow-ed, Hip-hop sounding, whacked-out Meth head, but the film's buzz is centered on the young, clean-cut actresses who play the lead girls: Selena Gomez, Vanessa Hudgens, and Ashley Benson.
