Mad girl

I recently started watching the first season of Mad Men (I’m just up to episode two). I haven’t watch enough to say if it’s any good, although so far I do like it, and most people seem to go crazy for this show. Something I find funny is that everybody smokes in this show.

I have to say that the girl above, Christina Hendricks, really really impressed me. Wow, she’s good looking, and has quite a presence, if you know what I mean.

For know I’ll keep watching the show, maybe some day I’ll go find some photos of this cutie and post them here.

Being happy doesn’t mean that everything is perfect. It means that you’ve decided to look beyond the imperfections.

These types of photos seem to be everywhere nowadays…you know…write a "deep" quote, and take a picture of it. One is cool, two are nice, but fool me once…you can’t fool me twice. Why are these type of photos everywhere? Or is it just me? Anyway, I still love most of them.

Ok, let’s forget about that. I know I like writing nonsense, but what am I supposed to do? Post beautiful photos like the one below? I can’t always do that you know, I have many other things I want to share with you.

Either way, you know what I hate? I hate it when you find a cool photo in some site and it doesn’t point back to the source or offers any attribution. I always try to do that, I don’t know why a lot of people don’t. I mean, for example, I love this photo right here, and I wish I could know who took the picture. I can’t, because I found it in some random site with some other random photos (like the first one in this post). Can you tell me, who is the author of the portrait of that girl?

I’m desperate! What should I do! Tell me! TELL ME!

buy this print. Photo by suo-me

I’ve been posting more photos at fb spin, but I’ll think I’ll return to the habit of posting some cool and interesting photos over here. Why? Because you deserve it, and because the sky is blue and roses are red….I mean, because I have no idea why…happy now?

Today we have this gorgeous photo of a woman with her tattoo of two butterflies (or is it two tattoos of one butterfly each). I love everything about this photo, the color, the dress, the tattoos…

You can check out more of the work of this photographer at suo-me’s deviantart gallery. If you prefer flickr, then go to his gallery at flickr. And if you’re a Livejournal kind of person, then go to his blog.

Other cool photos by cool photographers:

Also, check out mirabilia images (art photography), the portfolio/blog of a very talented photographer, but watch out, people are not wearing clothes in some of his photos.

A weird one

Are you wondering what movie did I watch yesterday? You probably aren’t, but I am. I’m still trying to figure out what the hell did I watch, and whether I liked it or not.

Bug (2006) is definitely a weird movie, not for everyone.  It’s crazy, and it’s about crazy people. Actually, it’s about people with delusional paranoia and schizophrenic tendencies.

The movie was directed by William Friedkin, who’s made a couple great movies like The French Connection,  the original The Exorcist, and To Live and Die in L.A.. So you can’t deny that the movie’s director is bad, because he isn’t. Ashley Judd stars in this crazy little movie, which is another good thing. She’s a good actress, and she happens to be naked in a couple of scenes (it seems I measure how good a movie is by who appears naked in it :) ).

Anyway, I’m not trying to convince you to watch Bug, because you probably don’t want to. As I said, the movie is not for everyone. I’m just telling you what I watched last night.

Anyway, maybe, just maybe, you still want to see it, so you might as well go buy the dvd

Five Fingers

Surprise surprise, I watched another movie yesterday, and it was good. It was Five Fingers. It’s kind of an old movie (2006), but I never heard about it before. I didn’t know much about it, either, which I guess was an advantage.

Anyway, the plot is pretty simple: Ryan Phillipe’s character gets captured by Laurence Fishburne’s character and friends. Then he gets tortured (the title of a movie is a big tip of how….five…fingers?). The whole movie is about that, but what makes it interesting is the dialogues and the interaction between the characters. I think Ryan Phillipe did a great work here.

Anyway, I liked the movie, maybe you will, too. Maybe you’d want to buy the Five Fingers DVD.

Well well, I didn’t know that the gorgeous model Joanna Krupa will be in season 9 of Dancing with the Stars, on ABC. It premieres on September 21, so I still have to wait for a whole month.

I usually don’t like those type of TV shows, but hey, if she’s going to be part of it, I’m watching. I hope she dances great, so that she and her partner don’t get eliminated soon. I mean, she’s beautiful, and it’s just nice to see her do anything (I love to see her when she’s posing in a bikini).

On another subject, it looks like the beautiful Megan Fox will will host the 35th season premiere of “Saturday Night Live” on September 26; that’s another day I’m going to watch TV (I just realize I don’t watch that much TV these days). She might not be a good actress, but she does look good (and she knows that). More info here.

Door 6 - the movie

If you’re in the mood for a really bad movie, go watch Room 6 (released in 2006). I don’t even know why I’m writing this post. Maybe I just want to make you suffer, or in some weird way, I did enjoy this movie.

Jerry O’Connell did a really good job, that is, if his job was to act as bad as possible. The story was awful (I guess that, in my case, knowing how it was going to end didn’t help that much), and let’s not talk about the direction. All in all, it’s a bad, really bad movie.

Why then? well, from time to time, it’s fun to watch a bad movie and make fun of it. Hey, I enjoy it, do you? I have no excuses.

So, did I mention the movie is bad? And remember “some doors should never be opened
