I *love* being snowed in. I have decided that I am, in fact, snowed in, for if I look out the window here on the second floor, I see snow. I will not look at the roads. Snow in the trees is all I need.

I am watching movies and wrapping presents and cleaning up a bit here and there and knitting and all is well with my soul.

I just finished watching Peter Jackson's "Heavenly Creatures" and since I am a morbid person who spends hours at a time watching Forensic Files and likes to nap to American Justice -- I googled Parker-Hulme Murder cause I wondered about how the movie came about - and Juliet Parker is now known as Anne Perry - the mystery novelist. I did not know this.

Also - George Clooney appears to have been studying Cary Grant in "To Catch a Thief" for the "Oceans" movies but Marky Mark really sucks in "The Truth About Charlie" and it makes me sad. I am still enthralled by the at will hotness of Matt Damon and need the Bourne movies on DVD in order to study this phenomenon.

ETA: forgot the entire reason I was posting. I have been using http://www.btefnet.net of late since Suprnova was down a lot. Now that it is no more - well - it looks like this place is still active. See - Suprnova didn't actually store the torrents - it was just a hub - a place to find them. I think torrents will still be around - we just have to find out where they are now.

Of course I could just be talking out of my ass. Ha! I don't care. I am snowed in! Lalalalala.

Isn't that interesting? I love that movie, and I spent a good couple of hours one afternoon reading stuff online about the actual case. Fascinating stuff.

I remember when the film was made, a very young Kate Winslet gushing about how she hoped it wouldn't mean the two girls being hunted down by the press. Of course, that's exactly what happened in Juliet Parker's case, but it didn't seem to do her too much harm in the end.

She still lives in Scotland and churns out the books. I tried one once, but found it rather turgid.

I remember reading some Anne Perry books when I worked at the Half-way house (I was weekend manager and did my 40 hours all in one go - starting at 7am Saturday -- there was a lot of downtime) and not really liking her -- but recommending her books to my mother. I think she bought a few.

*clears throat & looks around* Um...you mean that most folks don't do this sort of thing?

And on a side note....I really really liked this movie.

Heh. I spend hours at a time watching CSI and I put on OZ to sleep to.

Oooh, I really liked that movie. I just saw it for the first time a little while ago. My friend Jean is in it and insisted I see it. I definitely liked it, and I loved his part. Good movie.

You're too funny. Glad you enjoyed your snow day!

A few years back on Xmas Day at my grandparents Gone With the Wind was about the only thing worth watching on TV and so we sat through it and I pointed out to my aunt the Clooney/Grant resemblance. It definitely does exist and you raise the somewhat interesting possibility that it's deliberate on Clooney's part.

I like tvtorrents.net, myself. (Though I just thought to check that address and make sure I wasn't misremembering it and it's really .com or something, and it appears to be gone unless I am in fact misremembering it. Dang, I hope I am, or else that I've found a replacement by the time Lost is in new episodes again -- I'm not home to watch Wednesday nights, and I prefer downloading to programming the VCR because I've had too many problems in the past with power outages or forgetting to set the VCR or running out of tape.
