gwynMy F&F friends who know me, know that I'm not much into Paul Walker qua Paul Walker, and that he does nothing for me except as Brian O'Conner, especially Brian O'Conner with Dominic Toretto. So I wasn't tempted to see this movie, especially after haring the ads they are running constantly on TNT for it that cry "your only chance to see" Noel. But then I saw this mini review in EW and it's so funny that I may have to watch:
Noel Chazz Palmintieri's ridiculous directorial debut follows four strangers (plus an uncredited Robin Williams, who should not be allowed around hospitals) as they experience some vaguely miracle-esque events on a slushy NYC Christmas Eve. If you miss tonight's broadcast, never fear -- you can also buy it on a litmited-life-span DVD from Amazon, or catch it on the big screen in selected cities. Or, read carefully: The high point of Noel is toward the end when it looks like Alan Arkin and Paul Walker are going to make out. It's poorly written a sentimental hooey that tries and fails to warm the cockles of your heart... and there's nothing worse than cold cockles.
But it's the capton that's even more to die for. Under a picture of PW and Penelope Cruz with their foreheads pressed together, it says "If we press harder, we'll have a whole brain."
I just think it's amazing that the guy has zero chemistry with women no matter what he's in, but he always seems to put himself into slashy situations with male actors. Now he's almost macking with really old dudes! Go, Paul!
On another note, it looks like I will finally join the space age and get DSL on Friday. Probably won't be able to keep it long, but I may have a few months' extension where I have to work from home (and get Virtual PC and all kinds of other crap to make my Mac work with the stupid Windows only setup) so I had to do it. Of course, just when I have no vids or large files to upload or anything like that. But hey, at least I'll have it. Now if I could just figure out who to believe about the firewall thing (you need all kinds of firewalls! No, you need only the OS X-supplied one! No, you don't need one at all!) and even understand what I'm doing, it'll be clear sailing...
