Why I love my wife.

Omaha and I were debating seeing Beowulf, the new one. I commented that it wasn't the real deal; The dialogue was awful, you had wear the 3-D glasses, and Grendel's mother had been transformed from a horrible, mordant monster into, well, Angelina Jolie. Naked.

"Ah," Omaha said. "That's why you want to see this movie. Angelina Jolie's boobs."

I said, "That's not it. I'm not into Angelina Jolie. She's nuts."

"Dear, if I showed you Angelina Jolie's boobs, and you couldn't see her face, you'd still want them. You wouldn't know they were attached to a crazy woman."

I saw it in the theatre (no 3d glasses needed), and was able to ignore the Angelina Jolie-ness of it. Drinking along with the movie is very much in the spirit of it, and it...probably helps. :)

Digitally enhanced...

Which means they're about as real as any others you're likely to see in Hollywood.

They're virtual norks. It'd be like going gaga for Laura Croft.

I don't know what to say. I thought that the Neil Gaiman and Roger Avery Beowulf was very enjoyable. I didn't see it in 3-D, but I think it is well worth the time.

I think if you saw it, you would enjoy it.

Enhanced or modeled?

It's my understanding that Beowulf is 100% CGI, no photography at all.

So Angelina Jolie's boobs aren't the real deal either. :-)

What in particular makes you say Angelina Jolie is nuts?

I saw an interview with her on "Inside The Actor's Studio", and she came across as a very intelligent, well-spoken, centered person.

Based on that interview, I concluded that the press surrounding her was all or mostly BS.

Billy Bob Thorton.

Then again, my impressions of her recently are of someone much more grown up than ten years ago.

You're right, and I'm sorry.

Is it too much to ask that her present mistakes, whatever they are, also be kept out of the public eye? I think I know every detail of the whole Brad & Angelina saga just from looking at the covers at the grocer's.
