If They Follow You
Weekend was p. good. Thursday night, went out with mom to see "The Kids Are Alright". Well-written and acted dramedy, but these things always tend to go a bit south in the third act. Still, it's best that I watch as many films as I can with Mark Ruffalo so I can get used to the idea of him as the angry green giant two summers from now.
Saturday brought a barbecue with my best bud Jordan, likely the last time I'll see him for a few weeks since he leaves for Europe on Wednesday. That evening, went out with the 'rents to see this comedian Dylan Moran, a hilarious Irishman seen in films such as "Shaun of the Dead" and "Run, Fatboy, Run". As my dad said (though in fewer words), a non-American perspective freshens up any creative effort. Such was the case with Mr. Moran, as evidenced by the fact that he actually made my dad laugh, a rare feat.
Sunday was mellow, though it did bring the third season finale of True Blood. One could argue the finale a number of ways- that they did a number of Ass Pulls, twists that were somewhat frustrating and cliffhangers inserted for the sole purpose of bringing viewers back. I could argue until my face turned all the colors of the rainbow, but instead I'll just say this- I loved the shit out of that hour of TV. They've set up a hell of a lot to happen next summer, and I believe it might actually edge into greatness. But time will tell.
Finally, the ever-prolonged meme slouches forward:
Hugh Laurie
Chris Colfer
Robert Downey Jr.
Christina Ricci
Kristen Bell
Thora Birch
Poll Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Attractiveness, pt. 4
Oh, yes, and today I had an interview at the San Francisco offices of 1UP.com. It was relaxed and I feel pretty good about the back-and-forth I had with the two young folks that sat me down in their conference room. With any luck, I'll have more good news for y'all in a day or two.
