Hey there kids.
I wanted to let you know that I watched Once over the weekend. This is the Irish movie which won the Best Song Oscar this year. It was soooooooooooooooooo good! I adored it. It was a bit bitter-sweet and I cried, but aside from that it was well-acted and well-written. Lots of good music and it really presents the song-writing process in a very real and interesting way. It's a very simple movie, about these two people writing songs together; I guess some people may find that boring, but I didn't. It is also about the developing relationship of the two main characters, but even that is mostly presented within the arena of their writing together.
Also - lots of Ireland, which is fun. :)
Arnie would really like it, Blonde Sister, so you should Netflix it. You will recognize the main actor from The Commitments (he was a member of the band in that movie).
Brunette Sister - look for it on cable, cuz I think it's still playing periodically.
