Check Out This Fish Tank!

It's at the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium in Japan. The main tank called the 'Kuroshio Sea' holds 7,500-cubic metres (1,981,290 gallons) of water and features the world's second largest acrylic glass panel, measuring 8.2 metres by 22.5 metres with a thickness of 60 centimetres.

100 Best Movie Posters

I saw this awhile back on one of my favorite blogs, I can't remember which. I don't know who decided on these but even if you don't agree, it's cool to check them out. Of course, my favorite is right up there!

The Devil Wears Prada

I don't care what anyone says, Meryl Streep rocks! Great movie. I loved it! She's been great, in almost every movie she's ever been in. It's worth the price of a ticket and, God knows, the reviewers have been wrong on occasion. Lots of times I like the movie better if it was panned.

Movies: American Dreamz

Went to see "American Dreamz" yesterday. Not the greatest movie ever, but it was amusing. The portrayal of Bush (and Laura Bush) was pretty good. I got a few chuckles out of that. Dennis Quaid played him perfectly; that is, if he really is innocent of evil and all of his henchmen are the bad guys. Still, it makes you wonder. Hugh Grant played "Simon" (or Mr. Tweed) as a callow jerk. That worked well for him, too. I think the movie was better than the theater I saw it in.

Academy Awards

Wow! That was a showcase, wasn't it? Jon Stewart rocked, as I knew he would. I loved the intro with all of the former hosts, saying "no" to another night at the podium. And speaking of which, where was the podium? It is a lot harder to stand up in front of a bunch of Hollywood elite and a few million viewers with nothing in front of you for a shield. Some of those women, oh m'god-can you imagine going out looking like that? Selma Hayak, Uma Thurman and Reese Witherspoon, to name just a few, were so beautiful. Of course, it's hard for the men to get as much attention, except the "Brokeback" boys. Still, they help make for an overall fabulous "look" up and down the red carpet. The glitz and the glamour, what a night, eh? It could be that it all seems a trifle forced but it's all worth it to keep "Hollywood" as "Hollywood". Seeing Jack Nicholson being so "Jack" and and so relaxed while he's at it, makes me understand what the term "movie star" is and what it was meant to be in the first place. Jack rules, as we all know!And quite the upset there at the end, Crash was a really good movie but you know the buzz was Brokeback Mountain, all the way.They won for screenplay and Larry McMurtry, up there in his jeans, was suitably excentric while Dianna Osanna looked better than some of the actresses. They won enough to make the Academy seem suitably p.c.; it all seemed more spread out this year. More movies got a shot at something, not just one flick getting all the awards. I think that makes for a better award show anyway.

Narnia video

Strange video I found on someone elses blog, but I liked it!
