Rio Bravo, The Insider
It's late and I ought to be in bed, but I just finished a movie and felt the urge to gush about it while it's still fresh.
So I just finished watching The Insider. I was really just sort of blown away. I guess the whole emotional charge of the little guy standing up for what's right and good. I did find it a bit odd though that the lack of cell phones in common use at that period in time really seems to play a heck of a lot. I guess that's how things were. It definitely makes sense now that Russel Crowe got his Oscar a year late and for the wrong movie, cause you really can't claim the academy giving it to Kevin Spacey that year. It's really nice to be reminded why I don't buy Phillip Morris food products. ****.
So now back to other things. The Strip Bar day on The Unit was somewhat awkward and uneventful. Afterward Brian came back to my apartment and he watched his favorite movie, Rio Bravo. It was alright. It's hard to say that though when someone else is raving about it. I did really like the Stumpy character. He was certainly a nice bit of comic relief. I also found it hilarious that it has a musical number of sorts. The built up to ending worked pretty well too, but I think it could have gotten there more quickly. ***.
I hadn't booked work for today so I got the rush call for The Price is Right audience. Drew Carey is terrible for the show, but he's great just chatting with the audience during the breaks. I love that he laughs at his own jokes it's hilarious.
Then I came home and watched a movie, but I already mentioned that. Tomorrow I'm being paid to get my hair cut for an eventual work day on an upcoming Clint Eastwood Movie. I specifically tried to book something that I knew would be short so I could go to a screening of Lars and the Real Girl. The girl I wanted to go with can't make it cause she has to stay late at work, but I may end up meeting up with her for a drink after.
