Really?!

This is cut and pasted from imdb.com

Anna Faris was horrified when she shot her sex scene with Seth Rogen in new movie Observe And Report, because she had to be unconscious, naked and covered in vomit.

Rogen’s mall cop uses tequila to lure Faris’ character into bed in the new comedy.

The actress only agreed to go ahead with the scene because she was convinced it would never be approved by studio censors.

She tells Starpulse.com, “(Director) Jody (Hill) was like, ‘Okay, you guys are having sex and you’re going to have some vomit come out of your mouth, you’re passed out and your boobs are jiggling all over.’

“I was like, there’s no way (they’ll let this pass)’. There’s no way. I’ll do it, sure, because I don’t want to be a stick in the mud but there’s no way this is going to make it in the movie.”

But the scene did make the final cut – and now Faris has seen the footage, she’s had a change of heart: “I’m grateful, I’m grateful. I’m grateful that the movie is unapologetic.”

You call this a sex scene? This is actaully called rape, but thanks for playing. When will the media stop acting like violence against women is something to be laughed at?

Back…did you even notice?

I decided to not do this in Ireland. Write, I did. Post to the blog, no. I did not check email or surf the internet either. I was totally disconnected that way, and it was great. I fell in love with Ireland all over again and wished my stay was longer. I also have started looking at jobs over there. We’ll see what comes of that, if anything. I do love the feeling of no attachment.

And like previous travels mixed in with the endless stream of thoughts, it is making me think to get rid of a lot of things. Books, I tend to never want to rid myself of, but the truth is I have so many and so many that I have not read in a while, nor will I read in a while if at all again, that why not pass them on to someone else who will enjoy them? Not my children’s books though. Movies I think will be a little more difficult for me to get rid of…if at all. So there, there is my one thing I have major issue letting go. (NY made me appreciate libraries again. How the fuck did I manage to lose sight of that? UNIVERSITY).

Remember Jack’s realization that his possessions owned him…in Fight Club? (I know, it is an overrated movie, but you know what I am talking about). I feel that way often. The thought of having to move seems like a burden mostly because of the shit I have to move. I really don’t need much. I just think I do. I have a lot of clothes that don’t get warn as well. Really, I don’t need that many. Frankly, I just need a lot of underpants, ’cause my laundry revolves around that and now that I have to go out to do my laundry, I hate doing it.

I was even thinking that some of my Batman figures could go. I know, I know, blasphemy! But really, why not give them to some kid? Hello, Iskander and August were just born and need some Batman in their lives. It took a lot to give my horses to Tariq’s niece, but I did. And it will take a lot to give away the ones I have here, but I will. Also, I still have a lot of things in my parents’ house that I need to go through and figure out what is really worth holding on to. I should post some of my amazing stories from the second grade here. I found a lot of unicorns in the woods in the second grade. I also murdered Lori, which caused some concern…but that was the third grade. Eventually I graduated to the sixth grade with a vampire story that really does need to make an appearance here, purely for laughs. I have not read it in over 10 years so I am sure it is genius.

I will post about Ireland later. Maybe tomorrow. So much to say….!

3 weeks to myself…and the cats

Liz moved out on Sunday. It all kinda happened really fast. I mean, getting the okay from Askia to break the lease, apartment hunting, then trying to find people to move in here, then trying to find a room, then changing it to getting a subletter. And I didn’t get to spend much time with Liz. Though, we did have a sweet night of delicious tacos and chocolate chip cookies…and Star Wars. And she is coming back to get the rest of her stuff. So, hopefully I can take her out to dinner or something then.

So, for now, until May 16, it is me and the cats. And actually, May 16, I will be in VA. Kate, my new roommate, will be feeding the cats, and I will be back May 21.

Until Kate moves in the litter box is out of my room. That’s right. Also, I feel like I need to clean this place. I mean, it’s clean, but…

It’s kinda strange having the apartment to myself. There are some things I need to get ’cause Liz provided them:

pots, pans, cookie sheet, toaster, maybe a microwave, vacuum….I don’t know what else. I need to see. Also, I need Goodwill to come pick up some un-needed furniture.

cookies

I ate four cookies with a cup of tea for dinner last night.

delicious.

3. Singles

(I was trying get these posted on Thursdays, but that didn’t happen…so…suck it)

I was obsessed with Nirvana and Pearl Jam when I first saw this movie. More than Nirvana, it was Kurt Cobain that I was obsessed with. I don’t know how many poems I wrote about him in the seventh and eight grade. And grunge, well, the entire movement was something I wanted to be part of. I remember when I first saw this movie. Ayat had to pick me up from school because I was experiencing very painful cramps. I wanted to rent a movie and we ended up with Singles. Let’s see, what is good about Singles: Pearl Jam cameos, Tim Burton, Chris Cornell, Alice in Chains, spam, Seattle, Jane Fonda, Matt Dillon…anyway, it can go on. The Pearl Jam cameos are great. When I realized it was them that I was seeing on screen we had to re-watch their parts multiple times so that I could really take in Eddie Vedder’s voice. I may have been convinced at the time that he and I would one day be great friends. Let’s be honest, I am still convinced that he and I could be friends if we met. However, I no longer have plans, as I did between the ages of 13-18 to find him. Nor do I stand along the edge of RFK stadium yelling his name and getting a quick side wave in return. I will never forget Ayat’s face. Ha ha.
Back to Singles. It’s a fun movie, not too serious, not too funny, just the right amount of both. It has a very narrow audience, I think. Sure, it’s about love, but then the range gets smaller. It’s about college aged people, recent graduates. And smaller: in Seattle. And smaller: all into the same movement of music. And smaller: all hetero. And smaller: did I mention they are all white? That’s not to say I do not like the movie, obviously I do. Because I was so into that music the whole movie could have consisted of two characters going to concerts for 90 minutes and I never get to see any character development only hear music. In fact, that may make it way better, as long as Eddie still gets his speaking parts.
