Peeee-Euwwwww
MSNBC has some feedback from folks who saw the movie over the weekend...some enjoyed it, others felt like me...I should say that I thought the actors did a fine job, I didn't have a problem with them, just the situations that they were asked to go thru...I blame Steven Spielberg and George Lucas - they waited 25 years for THIS script? Really? wow...
We decided to take in a late movie last night...knowing that the Indy movie was already sold out (on all 3 screens) we figured we'd do Forgetting Sarah Marshall...ok, no prob...the theatre was packed, but we figured they were there for Indy (and they were)...except when we tried to get tix to Sarah Marshall, there was only ONE left...oops! Then, the dude says "well, 10 tix just opened up for the 7:40 Indy" and we bought two...hurray, look at us, sneaking into the new Indy movie...and for about the first 20 minutes it was ok...a bit of a throwback to the old Indy movies...but then it turns into a rehash of all the old Indy movies...ooo, scary ants!...ooo, scary Nazi woman with bad accent (I love Cate Blanchett, tho)...and then, the 'big payoff' was SO STUPID!! The guys sitting next to me were cracking up at the scary monster, they just lost it...it was pretty funny...and not in a good way...NO ONE clapped when the movie ended either...I had to look over at Brian at one point to see what he thought and he shook his head - yeah, I think it sucks too...i didn't wanna kill his fun-buzz if he was enjoying it, I was gonna hold my tongue and let him enjoy all the silliness...but we both just went 'UGH'...I can see why Harrison Ford was surprised at the positive response to the movie...and if you enjoy it, that's great...it was exactly what I was hoping it wouldn't be...booo....
This morning I've been gathering up my B&B supplies, parts are upstairs, others downstairs...now I need to see if I can find a box and ship them up ahead of time...there's no way I wanna drag these things in my suitcase...why did i sign up for so many classes that need hammers? what was I thinking?? I thought I chose wisely...geez...
its so humid here, that Amelie spent a few minutes outside, and when she came back in, her hair was all frizzy (like mine)...pretty funny...Jack and or Chloe has left us yet another present on the porch, I think it might be a baby squirrel based on the coloring of the fur...its not a pretty sight, I'm not looking forward to cleaning it up...Brian is doing consulting for our CPA and some other folks waaaay across Austin, so I won't see him the rest of the day...I'm on dead-animal-clean-up-duty...
I've got a list of tasks to do, I'm marking them off one by one, and 'make beads' is on that list...I've rounded up all the bracelets I'm taking with me, and its a HEAVY bag...I'd guess at least 5lbs worth of beads...but I'll definitely have some for ya'll when I return, so don't spend ALL your money filling your gas tank, and save some for yourself...(I think that might be considered begging...heh)...
