I'd never seen Mark Ruffalo before (and what a treat to the eyes he is!), and I thought he really inhabited the role so much that I can't wait to see him in another role, just to find out what is "him", and what is his acting. The Paul character in the film first comes across (at least to me) as rater flaky, but then you begin to appreciate him more as the easy-going but pretty decent guy he is. I loved the way he goofed certain reactions, such as saying "oh I love lesbians" and then realising that that was probably the wrong thing to say... Won't say more now without a spoiler alert!

Woof! Just perfect in this movie. I saw him on Broadway in Awake and Sing and he is just an extraordinary actor. He is going to tackle the AIDS drama The Normal Heart next.

Delightful, in fact the whole CD is great with a crazy eclectic selection of songs. Unfortunately it is now OOP. She also contributed "Last Time I Saw Richard" & "Chelsea Morning" to the first Pazfest CD (which is definitely NOT OOP and is a must-have) http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/pazfest Also, thanks to Mr. Paz, a soundboard recording of Susan performing ACOY. Sweet. And yeah, the Cowsills stuff was ALL great...Indian Lake, Hair, The Rain the park etc. Loved 'em all. Happy Friday everyone!

I like to be where I am, not virtually somewhere else. (although I do listen to my iPod at work sometimes, because the alternative is to listen to Russian all day long - 'nother story...)
