While You Were Watching 300…

…I’ll be watching The Namesake, starring Kal Penn. I *just* blogged about the book, and now I find out that it’s a freaking movie… that came out YESTERDAY. I BLOGGED ABOUT A BOOK ON THE SAME DAY THAT THE MOVIE ADAPTATION CAME OUT. OMGGGGG. I AM SO ESP.
So anyway, I’ve also heard UBERTASTICALLY GREAT THINGS about 300. Apparently, the storyline gives both men and women alike an undeniable necessity to scream for blood. More hype than Snakes on a Plane… and it looks like it’s worth it to boot!
But, since The Namesake is only screening in select cities (YAY. I heart SF), I figure that I can always catch 300 on a “throwaway” relax-time night. I hope the movie does the book justice. I’m a big fan of Jhumpa Lahiri’s work. What I’m *really* curious about is whether or not Kal can pull of a serious non-stoner role. Mmmmm… sliders.
I MISS WHITECASTLE!!!
