> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Salem \* > \*\*Has anyone seen the new movie with Johnny Depp and Antonio Banderas? I have no idea what it’s called, nor do I care. Something about Mexico. It looks good. Did I mention it has Johnny Depp and Antonio Banderas in it. Together. At the same time. Like a sammich…hmmm. Oh pardon me, what was I saying? 😉 \*\* Pretty much what I was thinking, actually. Good morning, everybody!! No work for me, YAY! The assistant dept. head is taking it. So I am going to see Once Upon a Time in Mexico, the third in the Mariachi series, and droolanddroolanddrool… mm,mm. Antonio Banderas/Johnny Depp sammich…:sigh:…anyway. A buddy and I are going to Borders and dinner first, so I’ve actually got an evening out for a change. ‘mazing. Has anyone heard from **mipiace** this morning? I know she’s got a kids’ party, but has she checked in? The last email I got was yesterday. Hey, **Robot Arm** , long time no see. You gonna keep doing these hit and run posts? ---

Natick? That’s where I grew up! My parents were still there until my mom died and my dad sold the house after 40 years. It’s changed so much. I don’t even know where the theater is, unless it’s the old Sack Theater (and a hundred other names it’s had since probably) on Rte 9 near the Framingham line. I used to hang out in Wellesley a lot, too. My friends and I would walk down ( I lived near Bacon St. and we’d walk down to 135 and on inot town.)and go in all the shops on and around Main St. There were some really cool places there. That’s probably changed a lot, too, I would imagine. Oh and the pond by Wellesley College. I have some great memories of that place (and most of them not sharable!) ---

Somethin’ just ain’t right about this. **Rocky** , hon, it isnt that you lust after women that causes us to roll our eyes. It’s that lusting after women seems to be all most guys ever do. C’mon, eventually we Babes move on to other subjects. We’re sure you can do the same. ---

I sent her a big hug yesterday afternoon, but I think she left early. You tell 'em, **Rocky**! The least they could have done was tell us who the female lead was.

It’s changed so much. I don’t even know where the theater is, unless it’s the old Sack Theater (and a hundred other names it’s had since probably) on Rte 9 near the Framingham line. Hmm, tricky, I haven’t been around here long enough to know where the Sack Theater is (although I think I’ve got a pretty good guess) or any other old landmarks. Except maybe one; there’s a place called Ken’s Steak House that looks like it’s been around forever. There’s a big building behind that (a big store of some kind, probably) that was empty when I moved here and has been converted into a Wal Mart. The Bugaboo Creek joint is behind that. (Don’t eat there, though, there’s a really good barbecue place across the street.) And if you kept going past that, you’d cross another street and there’s a big post office. Or I could just link to a [map](http://maps.yahoo.com/py/maps.py?Pyt=Typ&name=Bugaboo+Creek&desc=(508)+370-9001&csz=Framingham+MA+01701&country=us&cs=9&mag=8&ed=NJl9Ea160SxNOfEJU9qHfxMGn1mwih16YNTZ6_ZoCznkq76clYtiDcVvXAYyVhnlVj9i_Q--). ---

Hey, **Lorene**!! Good to see you’re still around. Chime in more, knowing what’s going on around here is not really a necessity. Well, all, Once Upon A Time in Mexico is, I’m sad to say, cheesy to the nth degree. Hudson Hawk with an hispanic accent. Not even the combination of Johnny Depp and Antonio Banderas (OMFG) could save me from thinking “I paid HOW MUCH to watch this?” Of course, that may have had something to do with the four thirteenish girls sitting behind my friend and I, as well as the woman sitting next to us who (obviously) believed that she is a living billboard for her perfume, as well as her cell phone company. I hate people. When did everyone at the theater start believing no one else exists but them??? I have no problem with kids making out in the back…that IS what the back of a theater is for, after all. At least it’s quiet. BUT GODDAM IT, CAN I AT LEAST LISTEN TO THE CRAP I PAID FOR??? They got the hint after the third time I chucked popcorn at them. I cannot _stand_ incivility. Just put me in the wrong mood for the movie, and now I’m going to have to rent it. Dammit. Okay, enough with the rant. All in all, I like Roberto Rodriguez. He starts with over the top, and goes from there. And yes, Antonio Banderas and Johnny Depp were _very_ pretty. I’ll let you know if I find a plot the next time I watch it. But don’t hold your breath. ---

Oy, **6** , if I knew her name, I’d tell ya. She _was_ cute. But to bust some bubbles, Salma wasn’t in too many scenes. Too bad, too, she lightened up the scenery. But Willem Dafoe as a blue eyed Mexican was…unconvincing. ---

**lorene** , good to see you here. I just (finally) emailed you. **lorene** is a BostonDoper, in case anyone missed that part. **Maureen** , How frustrating. I hate it when people act like that. And to do so in the middle of a Johnny Depp/_Antonio Banderrrras_ [sub]\*shiver[/sub]movie is beyond uncivil. It’s wrong. Just wrong. I wore boots with 4" heels for hours upon hours today. Someone even suggested I keep them on. Just the boots. His name, however, wasn’t _Antonio_. ---
