Movie night
So saw, 'Easy A'. To my great surprise...I enjoyed it, but I didn't think it was a good film. This is to say, it delivered on 'regular old stupid comedy/girl flick'.
However what I DID enjoy about it was that it didn't just do what is popular about the 'hip new film that is based on an old classic novel'. They did this correctly here IMHO. It wasn't another 'hip Shakespeare' moment.
All in all, not perfect but better than what I thought might happen all round. Was also very intrigued by the Christian group as a sort of inactive villain in the film. I haven't REALLY seen that angle done in years. I'm really...not offended by it. It was played up to silliness and to fit with the Hester Prynne angle but I was fascinated not (again) offended. I've so rarely seen this approach to a Christian villain in GOD knows how long so I was very shocked by it...and liked it a little even. Certainly played for sillines but it turned out to be one of the reasons I gave the film more than "okay dorky comedy" in the end.
Also had the MOST awesome salsa and fish that I believe I've ever had. Keep an ear to the food blog about that. I'll prolly resort it just now and put it up.
Was at a sleep clinic and I'm not supposed to be awake now but...ah, here we are. They're treating it as night terrors for now but they say that's not...exactly it because night terrors are generally not rememebered in the morning. Still some proactiveness towards figuring it out
