Well, I watched the film S1mOne today. It was one of those films that had a really interesting premise and was on my "to watch" list. Well, it came out at a very busy time for me and then I heard one or two bad reviews from friends, so I never got around to it. It was playing Starz while I was working today so I went ahead and checked it out.

The premise is pretty good, an actress walks out of a film, the director finds a way to create a computer-generated star and dupes the world with Simone. As she becomes more and more of a superstar icon, he finds himself weaving lie upon lie until she is controlling his life. It was panned pretty badly by critics, but I think a lot of that is just their way of sucking up to the spoiled stars - the premise is a good one and it makes several valid points about the cult of personality and how overrated stars are as human beings.

I liked the film. It got a little goofy and simple at times, but overall was a really good film.

RATING 7 out of 10

Oh yeah, and on the Cowboys - Panthers game. Another fine performance by the defense (even though they gave up a bunch in the second half.) The Panthers scored two TDs on totally blown pass-interference calls in the end zone.

Quincy was his normal sucky self, but they get the win despite him...

RATING 3 dunce caps
mostly stupid all day
