Saved!

Watched Saved! DVD.

Really funny, and Macaulay Culkin was strangely perfect for playing the part of Roland, a fairly cynical—but not overly so—student of the Christian high school, brother of Hillary Faye, played by Mandy Moore. Fairly absurd premise (girl has sex with her boyfriend because he honestly thinks he's gay and she honestly thinks Jesus wants her to sleep with him to "save" him), but then again, high school is a fairly absurd place these days. Good date movie (though I watched it by my lonesome), because there is also much sweetness, especially emanating from the characters Patrick and Mary.

My Various Witty Remarks

Follow @sillygwailo on Twitter!

  • @vanmega pants are a challenge no matter what you're doing.
  • How do awkward nerds do at SXSW? #couchbeers
  • @jordanbehan I'm going to hurtle downtown for #couchbeers. If you hear something crashing into the Strutta building, that's me and my bike.
  • Is the bike parking situation on the Vancouver Art Gallery block really as bad as I think it is?
  • @bmann I don't need an excuse to go to Bowen Island on Sunday, but if there's a Tweetup, I'll happily claim that's why I'm going!
