never saw it coming

I just found out that actor Heath Ledger has died, apparently of a drug overdose.

I am in complete shock and I am so sad. I just watched “Brokeback Mountain” for the second time over the weekend, with my mom, it was her first time seeing it. He did such a wonderful job in that role. He was such a talented actor. This is indeed a tragedy. And I think it hurts just a little bit more because he was from my generation.

Reminds me of the way I felt when I heard that River Phoenix was dead. All that talent gone to waste. I just wish people could face whatever their demons are and move through it, instead of letting it ruin their lives.

UPDATE: Okay, so it wasn’t drugs, thank god. It seems kinda creepie say that I’m glad that it wasn’t drugs, ’cause either way he’s still dead. But I’m glad that it’s looking like it wasn’t another “typical” Hollywood-related tragedy. So now this reminds me of when Nikki Taylor’s sister Krissie died from her asthma inhaler.

I just watched two great movie trailers… hopefully they’ll equal two great movies!

First off, I love Parker Posey. Like seriously. Her new movie is called “Broken English” and I know it’ll totally hit the spot for me. The trailer immediately hit home with me in regards to love, relationships and work. Parker’s hair looks particularly awesome I must say and people have been gabbing about her performance in this movie so I wanna see it… Anywhoo… Here’s the link, check it out…

The second trailer is for the movie “August Rush” starring Jonathan Rhys-Meyers and Keri Russell. Jonathan is hot of course and Keri is just cool in general. The trailer got me, I almost cried! It comes out in October, so hopefully the emotional stuff won’t be overplayed-up before then. It’ll be a must-see no matter what. I love the music angle and them all coming together in the end, which they have to do! They must!

mary katherine gallagher — my hero

I am eternally Mary Katherine Gallagher, for better or worse.

The movie “Superstar” starring Molly Shannon as MKG is on this morning and I can’t help but notice the similarities between me and Mary Katherine.

While I don’t wear a Catholic school uniform or keep my hands under my armpits when I’m nervous, I do have an incredibly vivid imagination and delusions of grandeur and I wear glasses.

I’ve long thought that perhaps I am an aquired taste and that makes it harder for me to find a guy that’s right for me.

I’m nice, smart and yes, I’m stubborn, but does that mean that I’m undatable?? UGH! And by the way, no it doesn’t.

This brings up another topic. Negativity. I’m only allowing myself to think positively and be surrounded by those that do the same. I will be realistic, but at the same time I’m not going to allow myself to get bogged down in crappy thoughts.

I am worthy, I’m not a bad person. Thank you. :)

one of my favorite things

Meryl Streep singing “You Don’t Know Me” in the movie “Postcards from the Edge.” In general that is one of my favorite movies and favorite songs of all time. :)

Just an FYI for those of you paying attention.

Worlds are colliding people.

I’m kinda watching an episode of “Jamie Kennedy’s Blowin’ Up”, which is, as far as I’m concerned, a mockreality show about Jamie Kennedy trying to become a rapper. He records a song with Bob Sagat (ya know the dad from Full House), it’s sort of funny and sort of disturbing at the same time. :)

On the other side of the spectrum yesterday I saw a commercial for Vera Wang. She designed a matress people! Is there anything this woman can’t do? She makes insanely beautiful dresses, wedding gowns, then she moved on to china, jewelry, perfume. Of course the next logical step is mattresses. What’s going on? Is Donna Karan gonna come out with a line of vaccums? Crazy.

Oh, and The Omen is coming out soon, so they’re showing more and more of the movie in the trailer. I was intially excited that they were making another Omen movie, but now I’m miffed because it’s just a remake of the original. Lame. I like Julia Stiles, but still I would of prefered it if they made a whole new one instead of starting over from the beginning.

Ok… I’m still sort of watching Jamie Kennedy’s “reality” show and Ice-T’s wife can’t act… ugh… damn bastardization of reality tv :)
