Let's go again.
To make up for that last post, things I have enjoyed recently.
The Bruce Springsteen concert. Oh my god, it was so fantastic! That man is amazing. He's a singing machine. His encore lasted for forty-five minutes. He just never stopped. Un-fucking-believable. And you may not know this, but he dances like a total dork. It's wonderful.
And he played Born to Run, and the audience got to sing along! That's one of my favorite songs ever.
Just thinking about it makes me bounce up and down all over again.
I also saw two movies that I really liked. The first was Monsters Vs. Aliens. It was delightful. There were all sorts of geeky in-jokes, and Stephen Colbert played the President of the United States. See it for that, if nothing else. Plus, a really great woman main character whose story arc and character development went exactly as I wanted it to. Make sure to see it in 3-D. It costs a little more, but it's absolutely worth it.
The second movie was Frost/Nixon. (No, fandom people, it's not like that.) You would think a movie in which the main action is two guys talking would be boring, but it was superb. I was really impressed. Also, decidedly embarrassed about my lack of historical knowledge. I didn't even know about the Frost/Nixon interviews until this movie.
I also saw What Just Happened, which was entertaining enough, but nothing to write home about. Robert De Niro was great, but the movie itself lacked bite.
