Carey's Hollywood Roundup & Canine Cajones
Oscar season is in full swing and we saw 7 movies this week! (Today was a triple feature. We walked to The Grove (to avoid parking fees for 7 hours) and saw three in a row! Haven't done that in a long time, but it was fun.) Slumdog Millionaire is still my favorite of the year, but here's a roundup of this week's films. I still have to see Gran Torino & Revolutionary Road.- The Boy in The Striped Pajamas - Good, but a bit contrived. Claudio liked it better than I did.
- The Day the Earth Stood Still - Horrible. Don't waste your money.
- Valkyrie - We both enjoyed it more than we thought we would. A bit distorted, but gripping.
- The Curious Case of Benjamin Button - Saw this last night with Mica, and we both loved it. Brad Pitt is perfect in this role. Truly the Forrest Gump of this decade.
- Doubt - Meryl Streep has done it again. What range! It's hard to believe she played such completely opposite roles in this movie and Mamma Mia in the same year. Both Oscar worthy!
- Seven Pounds - Will Smith is a powerhouse, but I'm not sure how I feel about this movie yet. I have to mull it over a little.
- Marley & Me - You can't help but like this movie if you're a dog lover, but it kind of makes me sorry I didn't publish Oreo's story before Marley's got published. Oreo's life was far more exciting, and would have made a great movie!
Chazz came through the operation like a trooper. And no, we didn't get him Neuticles!! What are Neuticles you ask??
"Neuticles" are fake testicles for dogs. I love this quote from their website:Neuticles allow your pet to retain his natural look, self esteem and aid in the trauma associated with neutering.With Neuticles - It's like nothing ever changed!
I wonder how many Beverly Hills pooches actually have these? LOL Anyway, here are some photos of Chazz's recovery and the rest of our holiday weekend!
A toast to Chazz's last night of virility!

Poor puppy!

Neuticles? hm.. is it only for animals? i can they do that to people who got their testicles removed also?
@Sc12EeN17aM3 - Sure they can Jad. Don't you watch Nip Tuck??
@CareyGLY - nope. i dont think i have the channel lol
Happy to hear Chazz is ok! What a face :)
so, are you gonna get the certificate framed and hung on his doghouse wall? i wonder if guys who have vasectomies get a certificate like that to hang on their bedroom walls? the day the earth stood still wasn't that bad - not an oscar to be sure, but good entertainment! How could you afford 3 movies in one day??? - no popcorn??? and a farmer's market in LA - just seems so contrived! peace, Al
lol @ Neuticles As though the dog would care by then :D Chazz is still looking cheerful after the neutering! Its amazing how dogs can stay so postitive after such painful experience. Gonna love them for that.
how can you guys live with yourselves!!! ... smiling and carryin on with champagne when youre about to remove the little guy's boys.
~shakes head in disgust
i used to like you ... now i'm just so confused.
hey i submitted your africa letter post as one of my ten. maybe it'll get picked. watched the front page. (see the "edit" to my latest post if this doesnt make sense.)
Did you really have to get it done?
@lv2skrp - Thanks. Hope Gibby can meet him some day!
And regarding affording 3 movies in a day, who said I paid for all 3?? Shhhhh.
@pukemeister - Shhh, the certificate framing is a surprise!
@Desert_Eagle_AE - Yeah, I know right. I can't imagine such a frivolous company could survive in this economy.
@curtainsopen - Wow! Thanks for the vote of support. That's great that Xanga took your idea. My idea was the first one they actually accepted: Getting rid of that annoying "subscribe to" popup for non-xangans. http://xd4.xanga.com/283f240417234224877766/w176731537.jpg Thanks again. Oh, and regarding Chazz, since he was a shelter dog, we had to
@Dezinerdreams - Yep, we did. It's the law. He came from a shelter.
i'm opposite of you in that i loved the day the earth stood still. i even wished it was longer. LOL
your photo of chazz in the marley role was very funny and cute.
the sunsets were pretty. i guess there is no ugly sunset.
a thai elvis why not. hehe.
the farmers market christmas tree was very beautiful.
@razzlebash - I thought the original movie of TDTESS was better, but oh well
Some sunsets are definitely prettier than others. We had rain last week, which washed all the smog away. Smog usually makes the sunsets prettier, so the other day was unusual!
@pukemeister - That Farmer's Market has been there since 1932!
@CareyGLY - LOL smog makes sunsets prettier. the facts are the facts tho.
@CareyGLY - no wonder, it's a throwback!
I doubt if my town will get the movie Slumdog Millionaire. Its a small town and movies like that do not do well.I will have to wait to see it either in Chicago or St.Louis or wait till it comes out on DVD.
You have such a beautiful view of the LA downtown. The pictures are beautiful.
@ZSA_MD - If you hurry, you can still catch the 6:50 show at the Kerasotes Springfield Parkway!
Make your husband buy you a large popcorn too. LOL

It's only 2 hours away!
Funny. I like that.
Hey.
I like your page. Your blogs are pretty interesting. :)
Neuticles? Wtf?
If Chazz knew you were blogging about his operation and showing him off like that - I'm sure he'll be taking a big bite of some sensitive body part. (which may require neuticles)
@livelife1111 - Thanks. How did you find me? Do I know you? Happy New Year.
@ElusiveWords - How do you know Chazz didn't want his pictures out there?? Maybe he paid me, just like the tabloids pay the movie stars for their baby pictures! There's no such thing as bad publicity, and this is Hollywood!!
Marley and me was such a good movie. hahaha love the photo! :) woo hoo back to the grove again! lol
Neuticles reminded me of this article [link]
Not actually because of the article (well, maybe sorta), but because of a comment I read afterwards -- "what good is an aesthetic penis if it doesn't work?"
@aliceandrandy - Thanks Alice. Happy New Year to you and Randy.
@torontobabyblue - Youch!!! LOL. A lot of those comments were actually pretty funny. Thanks for the link.
while i understand the reasons behind neuturing one's own pet dog, i don't approve the act of multilation.
one of my son's christmas gifts was your friend's dvd. he is 12 and loved it. he solved it that day. he was so excited.
