Quiet Day
Spent the earlier part of the day wandering the internet and visiting my cat when James called to let me know that he was going to get to see me this evening after all, his boss was letting him go home early to save payroll hours. After he got off work I drove us over to a nearby chinese restaurant where we had an okay dinner and then over to Hollywood Video, we rented a Robin Williams film that was released direct to video called "Final Cut." Interesting film. The premise being that parents can have a chip implanted into their child's brain that will record audio and visual. It records everything. Every moment is preserved. There are people that make their living by going through the memory chip of the deceased and editing it down to make a mini motion picture of the deceased for their loved ones to watch. Of course, some things are too gruesome so they get cut out. It was interesting, in a disturbing sort of way. I wouldn't want someone to be able to see every moment of my life. We both liked the film and I have to agree with James' assessment that the film wasn't released in theatres because Hollywood seems to have this notion that the movie going public cannot handle/enjoy/comprehend films with an ambiguous/ unsettling ending.
