Ben: I heard that Bullock gets turbo naked in her new flick, The Proposal. Of course it's a romantic comedy. And of course Ryan Reynolds is in it. However, I'd like to go out on a limb and say that I like both of em. Not a big romantic comedy fan, but Reynolds is a funny dude and I think Bullock is vastly underrated as a hot. The other day I was watching perhaps the worst movie ever made, Demolition Man, on cable and I found her work to be wood-inducing. Of course that was 16 years ago, but if she's getting naked, I'm in.
Skin: I'm not that crazy about Bullock actually. She's clearly an attractive woman, but on the scale of Hollywood hots there are plenty more I'd rather see naked. I do feel like I'm entitled to seeing everyone naked at least once. But I won't sit through a romantic comedy with an awful premise to see two seconds of side can. Especially hers. I don't recall Demolition Man but there's no way it's as golden as Love Potion #9 which features the highly believable casting of Bullock as biochemist.
Ben: Do you realize that I just admitted to having recently watched Demolition Man and it didn't even faze you? Wow, I fear that you may have given up on me entirely. BTW, Love Potion #9 may have been Bullock's only good movie besides Crash. It actually wasn't that bad.
Skin: All her movies are great. Especially the ones where she's an FBI agent posing as a beauty pageant contestant. Now that's the kind of well thought-out storyline I can invest my time in. Plus, she's really good friends with Matthew McConaughey, so you know she's got good taste. Whoa, that came out kind of raunchy. On purpose. Yeah, ha ha -- high-five myself for being so clever. It feels weird to be typing this kind of stuff out right now. It's gotta suck to be the guy who edits this junk. Who's our editor these days? Actually this is the last entry, so nobody will respond to these questions, so I guess they're just kind of rhetorical, though not on purpose. Where is everybody? I hear an echo in my head and it sounds cold, if that makes sense. I'm going to go now. Or not. Ha ha, psyche. I'm very lonely. They played Pink Floyd on Jack FM today. I bet those guys were lonely, always singing about their mums until they just broke up and wouldn't talk to each other anymore.
Before I got invited to a private party featuring free sangrias, I was planning on hitting up the fantastic happy hour at Sangria tonight. Talk about an embarrassment of happy hour riches! From 4 to 7 p.m. and again from 9:30 to 11, wells, house wines, sangrias and the martini of the day are $3. Scads of tasty tapas also go for three bucks, including calamari, croquettes and the Spanish classic, patatas bravas. I'll have to hit this happy hour in the very near future.
If you're craving a taste of a variety of wines, head on over to Cibus and La Duni at NorthPark Center, which are co-hosting their second alfresco wine-tasting event. I went to the first one and had a wonderful time strolling the lush outdoor space, trying more than a dozen wines and noshing on Scardello cheese and bites from the host restaurants. The fun runs from 6:30 to 7:30 tonight this Wednesday the 17th, and tickets are $20 at the door, $15 in advance. Call Cibus at 214-692-0001 or La Duni at 214-987-2260.
