I've been a little sickly lately. Flu, cold, stomach issues -- you name it. So, what does one do during those times? Watch dvds -- and a lot of them. It was a chance to catch up on some classics. It's funny how movies are different in subsequent viewings:
High Fidelity: Way more depressing than I remember. When I read the book, I thought, "Wow! What great insight into the male psyche!" When I first saw the movie, I thought, "Wow! What a great interpretation of the book!" Now that I've seen it again, it I was saddened by how even a "nice" guy is still a self-absorbed guy. Still, a good flick. Who doesn't like a "top 5" list or think about the complexities of the mixed tape.
Notting Hill: Julia Roberts is way more monotone and charmless in this movie than I remember. But, it still has an unruly cast of Brits that are full of vim and vigor -- and wit. I chuckled many-a-time.
Office Space: I can never say anything bad about this movie. It's a classic through and through. Sheer perfection. So funny. But what ever happened to Rob Livingston?
The new fall season has started. Caught Heroes. So, the big question is, what has become of Peter Petrelli? I think he is glad that he finally got to cut his hair, tho.
The new season of the Office, also launched with a one-hour episode. Yes, people, Pam and Jim ARE DATING. Chew on that for awhile!
