First, a digression: Today, self and The Man went to see the first screening of American Hustle.
J-Law is just a-DO-rable! Simply adorable!
Amy Adams was of course hot.
Bradley Cooper was the exact same speeded-up dude he played in Silver Linings Playbook. Only this time, he was an FBI agent. Many of the funniest scenes in the movie were his.
But Christian Bale. CHRISTIAN BALE. Since self had just seen him in Out of the Furnace, she couldn’t quite wrap her mind about this new Christian Bale iteration. But — he was magnificent. And also the only member of the cast whose Noo Joi-sey accent was firmly in place, from first to last.
The accent thing was quite a crucial thing in this movie. Alas, self has finally spotted a chink in the J-Law persona: Her accent was the messiest in the movie. But self feels so chary in pointing this out. For J-Law has the most hilarious scene with an exploding microwave. Not to mention, she brings such vulnerability to her role.
And now to — the ONE!
After the movie, we went to The Man’s favorite breakfast place: Broiler Express on Laurel Street in San Carlos.
This time, when they brought her order, the pancake had mouse ears!
BWAH. HA. HAAAA!
Self’s pancake never had mouse ears before!
This was the very first time!
Self’s face broke out in a huge grin, she just couldn’t help it. And the waiter was grinning, too.
Stay tuned, dear blog readers. Stay tuned.
