Definitely got into my element last night. Fired up the grill for ribs and peppers, added some potato salad, and fed us all like kings.
Watched a couple films lately:
- if you have a chance to see Lars von Trier's Antichrist, don't. Skip it. Seriously, that guy owes me an hour and a half of my life back. I like Willem Dafoe, but this was just not good. Obviously done as art, not cinema...and failed as art. Felt like something a 15-16 year-old would write, trying to be shocking and controversial (which, from everything I've read about von Trier, sounds about right).
- On the other hand, if you wanna grab a copy of The Lovely Bones, I recommend it. I enjoyed this a lot more than I expected. Oddly surreal in places, but not in a way that leaves you confused, just enough to really appreciate the visuals. Story was not only good, it was satisfying, if only for times that characters did the smart thing I thought they should instead of the idiot Hollywood thing I'm used to seeing. A sweet film that made
numerauko cry at the end. Good stuff.
