Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004): to watch a movie without any prior knowledge of the plot is the best way to watch a movie, even though these days it is impossible to do. this movie would have been a million times better had i known nothing about it. that is not to say that it wasn't spectacular though. it is hard to believe that there are people and editors clever enough to put this movie together. my hats go off to the braves souls who dare to make these movies. very confusing of course, but that's why we buy the movie to watch over a 2nd time to figure it all out again. which means i think its worth buying. not for those who base movies solely on entertainment value. also, kate winslet is hotter here than in titanic. just had to throw that out.
In America (2003): oh man. wow. i'm in awe over this movie. i know that maybe 1 person reading this has even heard of this movie, but you people have to get your heads out of your butts and rent this. i've never seen a finer cast of people. every single actor is so perfect and i haven't a complaint for a single one. the story is sweet and sad and you could tell from the first 10 minutes that the movie is gonna be hard to sit through because it would be such a downer. i've never seen a more real family in my life on the screen. and you know my deal with child actors: i hate about 99% of them. well the girls in this movie put 99% of adult actors to shame. please see this. you don't have to buy this like i plan on doing (however it will be quite the investment on your lives), but you should scrounge the $3.79 and head to your nearest gestapo video store and rent it.
so how bout that 3rd quarter in the purdue/notre dame game? ouch! that must hurt. on a brighter note, utah is freaking ranked #11 now!! pretty crazy times. poor fresno state got knocked, cu is still anybody's guess, byu is more of the same, and csu must really suck to lose to byu.
i've always wanted someone to make either a realistic painting or a photograph from a person's point of view. this sounds really gay, but i was taking a shower yesterday with my head under the water and looking down at the drain. it would be so sweet to have that captured somehow. just moments of the little things in a person's day. and it would have to be done right so that the viewer of the piece would have to focus on the center of the picture in order to get the effect. everything around the edges would be a slight blur. anyways, i could make millions off of this if i had the time. i'll leave it to someone else to fiddle with. so patti, hop to it.
have i mentioned my snowboarding pants rawk the freaking house? so amazing. and on saturday we scoped the mall for more gear. found a perfect columbia jacket that i'll get in a few weeks, a crazy expensive pair of dakine gloves i want, and some dc boots that i prolly won't get this year anyways. but who knows. maybe i will. there are some good holidays coming and i know i've been a good boy!!!
i've come to the conclusion that the training table has the #3 best burgers i've ever eaten. 1 and 2 being respectively in 'n out and jerry's of course. i've had their hawaiian burger and saturday i had some southwest mexi burger smothered in artery clogging green chili or something. whatever it was, it was soooo tasty. already looking forward to next saturday.
i haven't had time to sit and talk about my thoughts on my old job, but i will sometime i promise. also, been thinking about my dad lately. want to jot a few things down about him too. hopefully i'll get to it this week. only 1 more week of my blockbuster movie pass, so that will free up a ton of room on my entries when i cut back on movies. but look out hollywood-terrible-selection-with-everything-still-on-vhs and naked-perverts-running-around-video. i'm coming after you next.
