The X-Files: I Want to Believe
The Longshots (directed by Fred Durst)
I really wanted to believe in the X-Files movie. Instead, I laughed a lot. Much more believable: the spirit pictures in Shutter (on our shelves just yesterday), which I would certainly recommend. I can't speak for the Joshua Jackson remake, but the original took me places I was not expecting to go (in a good, pleasing, not too many loose ends kind of way.)
I am sure all you lovely readers noticed that this blog is being posted an entire day early due to Thanksgiving! We should all take a moment of silence to thank Lincoln for this particular contributi
on to the great tradition of American feasting. Then I would like to share with you a thing I am very thankful for--my favorite words of November:Pandiculate: v. to stretch and yawn at the same time.
Dysphemism: n. antonym (along with cacophemism) of euphemism--the usage of an intentionally harsh word or expression instead of a polite one. ex. replace to die with to assume room temperature.
Chimera: n. mythological, fire-breathing monster, commonly represented with a lion's head, a goat's body, and a serpent's tail or any organism composed of two or more genetically distinct tissues.
What are your favorite November words? Only a few days left to figure that one out...
