The Hurt Locker [2008]
I didn’t know anything about the movie apart from the fact that it was about the Iraq War and that it had 97% on Rotten Tomatoes. Telmo suggested we see it yesterday and I’m so glad that he did.
It’s a nail biting, nerve recking, OMG OMG, kind of movie. Much like a japanese horror movie (or so I’m told – I don’t watch horror movies) in the sense that it’s a relentless stress.
I loved it. Perfect writing, sets, acting, story line, whatever… Perfect.
If you loved “Generation Kill“, the brilliant HBO mini series about the invasion of Iraq, you will love this movie.

How to show the whole post in a TwentyTen WordPress theme
How to show integral posts (the whole post without the “continue reading” link) in a TwentyTen WordPress template with a child theme.
Copy the original TwentyTen “loop.php” file to your child theme folder.
Open in the WordPress Dashboard: Appearance > Editor > loop.php
Search for:
<?php if ( is_archive() || is_search() ) : // Display excerpts for archives and search. ?> <div class="entry-summary"> <?php the_excerpt(); ?> </div><!-- .entry-summary -->
Replace “the_excerpt” for “the_content”. Update file.
It should look like this:
<?php if ( is_archive() || is_search() ) : // Display excerpts for archives and search. ?> <div class="entry-summary"> <?php the_content(); ?> </div><!-- .entry-summary -->
That’s it.
I’m writing this here for future reference and for anyone that is as lost as I was in the forums. Holly fishsticks, it took me a while.

Man Men & Breaking Bad
AMC makes the best two series on TV right now – Mad Men and Breaking Bad.
I know you have to live under a rock not know this but I still feel the need to comment:
OMG, what great writing, producing and acting (and everything else)! Superb.
These are the bee’s knees!

Sunset Boulevard
Small comment on the movie, part of my project to watch the “AFI’s list“.
Classic film noir from 1950. Amazing performance by Gloria Swanson. Very dramatic. I loved the way it starts, with Joe Gillis (William Holden) dead, floating in the pool, and narrating the movie. (I don’t consider this a spoiler since it’s the first scene after the initial credits but I blocked it anyway. Select the black line to read.)
