Stars! We Have Stars!
After much trial and error, I finally got my Netlix history (a little ways down, in the sidebar) to show my recent rental ratings—those happy-making stars beneath each of the movie titles. The ones in bright 3-D yellow are the movies that I’ve returned and rated; the ones in red (or dark yellow) are just the Netflix-user averages (because I was too lazy to rate ‘em myself). Why, you might ask, would I kill an evening trying to set this up? Above all, it’s because I don’t want any of you to suffer through “Chasing Liberty,” as I did last night.
Many thanks to Oscar Hills for creating this Netflix rating plugin and, in so doing, indulging in one of my dorkiest requests. Also, a monster obrigado to Andy Diller for walking me through the set-up process, and putting up with a few hours worth of bitching. If there’s such a thing as blog envy, it certainly took hold when Andy’s rating stars appeared and all I got was a broken link.

Your time would be better spent watching my movie.

Aw, come on Moore and Mann: Chasing Liberty wasn’t that bad. I had to watch it, and everyone loves Roman Holiday, so what’s wrong with an updated, hip version?
It could have happened that way….

oh, also, if you are into teenage daughter-of-the-president-gone-wild films, you don’t want to miss Spartan, buy none other than Davy Mamet.

Your time would be better spent booking a trolley … or planning the honeymoon … or designing the wedding program … or making me dinner. Just about anything else would be preferable.
