A Night at the Movies
February 8, 2009
Rebekah and I made up yesterday. We even went out to a movie last night, something we rarely do. We saw Taken, a new action movie which delivers admirably on its premise and doesn’t waste time doing anything else. It wasn’t one of those great transcendent films, just a tightly focused, well-crafted action-thriller. I recommend it to anyone who enjoys those.
Well, it appears that I have staved off a total breakdown this week, but I have really spread myself thin. I can tell because alot of the negativity which roils around inside me more-or-less all the time seeped out into the wider world this week. Sorry to anyone whom I managed to hurt. I’m trying to feel better, to be better.
Um, is this another one of those magical realism thingies? I have a hard time believing that my sister, who doesn’t do well with Bambi, willingly viewed that movie.
Yeah, she had wanted to see it (preview got her), then heard that it was pretty violent and had misgivings, but decided to go anyway since I was going. Incidentally, it was the parent who got it in Bambi, and the hunters who got it in this movie, which may explain why she had a somewhat easier time with it.
Ooooooooooh, well that makes more sense. I for one can’t even watch the previews for that movie *eeep*!
