Looking out the window next to the desk where I write, I see a young oak tree across the street. Formerly proud, now after a day of rain he is barren - leafless. But he'll be back.
Now for some real news. I'm going to the Sundance film festival. I wanted to go, but I didn't want to go alone. A month ago I asked a friend of mine if he was going and he was all like, "No. Probably not." So it looked like I wasn't going. Then last week he called me up and said,"Did you still want to go to Sundance?" I was all like,"You bet." So we booked the flights and hooked up some floor space with a fellow that we know who will also be going. It's a "bring sleeping bags" sort of scenario. I am looking forward to it. Mostly I'm going to a) hustle Sandow, b) meet people, and c) see movies. I'm looking forward to it.
The sun is coming back after a gloomy day. Hopefully, I'll be able to get some golf in tomorrow.
Peace.
P.S. Check out the New Feature on the sidebar. I'm keeping track of all the Books, Films and Videos that I watch this year. I'm working right now on reading the Culture sci-fi novels of Iain M. Banks.

But instead, you played Halo. What a gloriously wasted day.
ReplyDeleteMachinist didn't rock like I hoped it would, though it wasn't terrible IMHO. I didn't feel cheated by the final twist, which isn't true in 87% of movies of the psychological-thriller genre. Worth seeing just for Bale's insane dedication to the role i.e. skeletal ribcage. That freaked me out more than anything in the film.
The twist was good, and his skeletal figure was good, but come on, Eileen, the hour and twenty minutes up to the end was simply boring. There really was no story. By the time the end rolled around, I didn't care what was going on. As I said, I thought it was crap.
