(no subject)
Just got back in from seeing The Upside of Anger. As much as I liked Sin City, and I liked that VERY much (don't get me wrong), this I liked better. And depending on when exactly I saw Closer...this might just be the best film that I've seen this year. Closer and Eternal Sunshine were from 2004, right? It all fucking runs together on me, on days like this. (Please forgive me. I've been up since eight o'clock last night.) This film I really liked though. Joan Allen was just retardedly awesome in this movie, and I should probably have my head examined for saying this, but Kevin Costner was too. They both nailed it in this, and writer/director Mike Binder...good on him too. Of the like two times that I saw The Mind of the Married Man I really liked that too, so good on him for rebounding.
Also Erika Christensen, who has come leaps and bounds since playing the crackwhore that I first saw her playing way back in Traffic, and Keri Russell are both just gorgeous in this film. If I write anything else here in the half-awake, half-asleep state that I'm in I'm either gonna make no sense, sound like a complete pervert, or a combination of the two. Both of those young women could stop traffic though, to use a really overused phrase in describing attractive members of the opposite sex.
Anyway, I liked it a lot, so go see it. The trailer for Crash with Don Cheadle and Sandra Bullock also looked really good.
Other than that...I think that I was the youngest person in the theatre, which was actually fine by me. With so many seniors in the audience I didn't have to worry about anyone bringing a crying baby or a cell phone into the theatre. In fact, I might just be onto something new and exciting here with going to the earlybird shows during the week.
Your old idiot narrator needs a decent pair of sunglasses. He's going to walk into a moving vehicle on his way out of the theatre one of these days if he's not careful, and then that'll be it. No more witty musings. It'll just be tomato soup and a breathing tube. Sometimes I think that I might end up like that, even without a life-altering accident.
