Oh yeah, Monk
So THEY got rid of Sharona on Monk, eh? Replaced her with Traylor Howard from Two Guys, a Girl and a Pizza Place--which I must admit Rachel caught LONG before I did. I didn't place the face, but Rachel did. Didn't know she was from Orlando. Cool. The other somewhat local person I liked was on (gasp!) Two of a Kind--yes, with Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen. Yup, I really liked good ol' Carrie--er, Sally Wheeler, but I digress.
Anyway, I was surprised that Sharona's character was done away with. Ahhh, I see, it was a money thing? I'm out of the loop. After last night's episode was done, I think I will easily get used to Natalie (Traylor Howard) and her daughter. Upset? Not I. Pleasantly surprised is more like it.

So, Rachel and I have a sitter and will actually get to go out and do whatever we'd like (read: we'll get to watch a movie, even). So, with that, I ask. . .
[Poll #423015]
I get a feeling it will probably be Phantom of the Opera.

Ended up going to see. . .
Phantom of the Opera. A long time ago, I swore I'd never throw any money at Joel Schumacher ever again. Dirty, dirty common street tramp of a director destroyed the Batman franchise, you know?
Rachel has long been a Phantom fan--I can't remember how many times she's seen a production of it. Throughout the movie, she kept nudging me. It seems she thought I was napping for the majority of it. I was not. There are few musicals that I've really taken to. Moulin Rouge was one. THE one that I could sit and watch just about anytime is. . .(wait for it). . .Grease. Couldn't really tell you why. I do have a memory of seeing it in a theater with my mom when I was really, really young. Let's see, I would've been 5 when it was released, so I suppose it's ingrained itself into my subconscious. Heck, I would even suffer through Grease 2 for Michelle Pfeiffer and the Reproduction number. Heh, now I can hear Al Pacino's Tony Montana saying El-Vee-Rah.
Anyway, I can't say I really got into the movie as much as I got into Moulin Rouge. It did, however, pique an interest in me to see a stage production of it someday. That and Les Misérables. In fact, I'd like to read my abridged copy of Les Misérables again. Perhaps one day, I'll pick up an unabridged copy of it and dive in. Maybe.
All in all, though, it wasn't horrible. . .at least it wasn't Christmas with the Kranks--which probably isn't fair, since I haven't seen it, but I really don't care to. Oh yeah, Emmy Rossum reminded me of a young Trini Alvarado, whom I liked, so as such, I have an affinity for Emmy Rossum now. Previews were somewhat interesting. Have to make a point to rent Terence Malick's The New World whenever it's released on DVD. Iffy on Kingdom of Heaven--oh look, it's Orlando Bloom waging war again (just a wee joke). It was good to see that Michelle Trachtenberg has gotten some work. She didn't annoy me too much as Dawn on Buffy, and Ice Princess has a cutesy look to it. Hey, I went to a theater to see The Cutting Edge, I like Moira Kelly THAT much, so there.
By the way, I have had impulses to break out into song of late now, though. I turned to Rachel and sang as I asked her what she wanted for dinner.
.: in my tenor, or is it baritone?, voice and to the tune of The Phantom of the Opera song :.
What would
you like to eat?
Are you star
viiiiiing?
I'll stop somewhere
for yoooou!
So you can eat. . .
Ok, I'll stop now. Please find it in your heart to forgive me.

The Aviator
Oh yeah, we almost went to go see it, but it was sold out everywhere.
Pretty good, pretty good.
