desk sitting
I am sitting at a desk at an agency.
Not because I work here, but because a client is visiting today and they need warm bodies to pose as 'fluffers' and fill in empty desks. It's kind of sad really, but they're paying me for it.
moving on..
I saw Milk last night. The interesting thing about seeing it was the fact that I knew nothing about it. Absolutely nothing. I wasn't even sure why it was called Milk. Never saw the trailer or read a synopsis. So I went into the theater completely void of pre-judgments or expectations. I was able to just watch the movie as it unfolded, not knowing how things would turn out.
One annoying part about this experience with this specific movie though, is the fact that they say he gets assassinated in the first few minutes of the film. But I didn't know when it would happen, or by who's hands. So every time he would get on stage or to a podium during a riot or a march I would tense up and wonder 'is this it? is this when he dies?' It was very stressful. But I guess it's probably a similar sentiment he was wondering during those events as he had death threats on numerous occasions.
It was just an interesting experience to watch a movie with no knowledge of anything. That's how I intend to watch a few old movies I have never seen. I've never let any one talk about them with me to keep them fresh. Silence of the Lambs was ruined for me cause I heard how it ended. So when I finally saw it, I wasn't scared or thrown off. The two I am saving and looking forward to are The Godfather and The Shining. I guess it's not completely clean slate cause I know there's some horse head scene and some creepy twins in a hallway, but that's about it.
I'll really just babbling to pass the time here. I got here at 8am in the cold drizzly yucky rain. Didn't want to get out of my car. Stuck here till 1 probably. ho hum. the end.
