What happened to my blog? AKA thoughts on "All About Steve"

I had set up my blog on blogger earlier this year.
Recently I got busy and did not write.
Now I can't get in to add posts.
What's going on?

Anyway, today I saw an old movie, "All About Steve."
Yes, the one that Sandra Bullock got a Razzie for.
I would't have paid money to see it.
But on DVD it was not so bad.
She feels totally different on "All About Steve" than she was from "Blind Side." 
The latter made her feel so much older.
Here in this movie she was all bubbly and interesting in her way.
Bradley Cooper is cute!
I saw "Silver Lining Playbook", and found his performance impressive.
More so than Jennifer Lawrence's, and yet she got an Oscar for her character.
But then again, how can anyone beat out Daniel Day-Lewis, who played Lincoln.
(Amazing portrayal, by the way!!!)

The reason I wanted to post this is because while the movie was somewhat crazy,
and you wonder about Mary's obsession with Steve.
At the end of the movie, after everything that happened in the mine,
Mary said something to the liking of there is an empty hole inside all of us.
She tried to fill it with words, with crossword puzzle, and with Steve.
But that was not the way to do it.
She went through a lot to find out Steve was not the answer.

That was what impressed me most about the movie.
Perhaps it was the reason Sandra Bullock decided to take the movie?
Because it is really about how we try to fill the empty void inside of us.
Sometimes we go crazy (like her chase after Steve) because we are just so empty inside.
We don't know what's wrong.
But we would do anything to get it filled.
