Last night, I FINALLY got to see "Ed Wood". I had wanted to see this for such a long time and was not disappointed. Martin Landau was just amazing and Johnny Depp was, well, as good as he always is. I particularly liked the scene between Ed and Orson Welles. One a genius, the other a failure, but both with a lot in common. Great movie.
We also rented the Johnny Carson Collection on DVD from Netflix. It was very funny but the biggest surprise was in the special features on the 2nd disc. There was a one hour, made-for-tv special called "Johnny Carson goes home" that showed Carson returning to his home town and visiting the house he grew up in, school he went to, etc... It offered a glimpse into where he came from and showed a side of him that I had never seen before. It was quite touching.
