Movies
I’m going to see Pan’s Labyrinth tonight. I’m psyched. It’s the only Oscar contender I’m really in a tizzy to see. The others? Well, I’m sure they’re good movies with good performances, but the Oscars always favor such downer movies. I can’t deal with that sometimes.
Denny and I saw Children of Men last weekend, and I liked that. It too was a bit heavy; the style was very similar to my favorite of Cuarón’s films, Y tu mamá también, but it wasn’t nearly as funny. I’ve got to say, I prefer comedies in general.
In other news, I’m hungry. I’ve got a crockpot full of chili at home, which I’m looking forward to eating.
I, too, was hungry. I made cold noodles with peanut sauce and sesame oil chicken, peas (frozen peas are much better if you pretend they can’t be microwaved), and had some delicious grapes.
Ah, Children of Men! I wanted to get around to seeing that, I was afraid of seeing it and being mad if the female character turned out to not have any real importance other than being pregnant, but apparently it’s a pretty good movie?
Yeah, it was good, and there were other interesting female characters besides the pregnant one. But the pregnant one was more than just pregnant.
