The best day of the whole year to go to the movies is on Superbowl Sunday. No one goes. It's also a good time to go to a restaurant. So, today it was dinner and movie day. Yaaaahhhh! Today's movie selection was "No Time for Old Men". Coen brothers. Excellent movie. I did have to close my eyes a few times because of gore, but the acting, story, etc. was great. Cormac McCarthy novels translate to movies well, in my opinion. I've never been able to read one of the books...too dry, but the visual details are so rich on the screen. Tommy Lee Jones played himself, as he usually does, but he's endearing, funny and smart, so it works.
Last night's movie was "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly". Whew. Take some extra zoloft before you see this one. Some people see it as an uplifting movie. I didn't see it as inspiring, or uplifting or redeeming. It's like I remember "Old Yeller" from when I was 5. It's just tragedy all around.
That's the report. And if you disagree, keep it to yourself. I've heard enough opinions on everything from politics to race relations to movie selections in the past few days. I need a little break.

I could not get over Tommy Lee Jones in this movie.
I don't think I'll venture forth to see the other.
