One down, three to go.

I did see Walk the Line today. There's a scene where Johnny is talking to June and she asks him if he's alone on Thanksgiving. Us single folk in the audience snickered.

I really don't think anyone other than Joaquin Phoenix could've played this part well. He has the rugged good looks, and can kinda sing like Cash. Hell, Cash chose him to play the part. But all I could think about during the scenes where Cash recounts losing his brother, and goes through withdrawal, was how easy (and yet so hard) it must've been for Phoenix, having had similar experiences.

(OK, so I also was very focused on how utterly hot he is, but that's a story for another day. But I do officially forgive him for The Village now.)
