Saw Midnight Cowboy for the first time last night. Great 60's stuff, Hoffman is amazing, fun with dream sequences and jump cuts.

When the bus pulls into Florida and Joe buys the fresh, light, easy-wear clothing, and everything is sunshine and suburbs, I am again resolved to never live anywhere that's anything like New York City. <shudder> I think being a bum in NYC has got to be a high-ranking hellish life. It's bad enough enduring the weather when you've got a warm home to go to.

I finally watched My Big Fat Greek Wedding last night. I realize I was the only female on the planet who had never seen it.

Yeah, I liked it. I mean, it's not an amazing bit of cinematography, and I spent way too long wondering which boy band that cousin belonged to, but I'd watch it again.

It was nice. Totally insubstantial, but exactly what I want in a romantic comedy. Just easy to watch. Enough cliche that I could relate to the main character, not so much that I felt like I'd seen that exact movie a gazillion times.

You were not. I haven't seen that, and never had any desire to.

Curious, not knowing your background, but were you raised in any sort of "ethnic" environment (yeah, I know, it's an il-defined question...but I think y'all get my meaning)? In general, that movie gets a lot more laughs from people who grew up in America in some sort of non-Protestant, lived here for generations family. Or at least grew up with good friends who did. The specifics may be different, but there is so much common ground, whether you're Greek, Jewish, Italian, etc. I know that so much of it had me rolling, simply because I recognized so much of my Jewish family in it.

Does midwestern count as ethnic? Because it should around here. No, I don't think that "Swiss Immigrant" qualifies as ethnic as you mean it. However, my family (and my best friends' family) was the odd one when I was growing up. My mom wanted to dress me like it was 1965. I wasn't allowed to do any of the usual social events. "Dates" consisted of sitting on the couch under parental supervision - and each butt had to be on a separate cushion. We're not as loud, but if we're in central Iowa I'm probably related to every other person who walks by, and my dad could tell you exactly how. He has something like 40 first cousins, so her 27 is small potatoes. My grandmother would regularly hold family reunions on the Farm with hundreds in attendance. The local paper printed a blurb whenever we visited. It is a definite kind of life, although not what people of think of when they say "ethnic".

We watched DOA the other night. We recently bought a film noir collection - mainly because it included Detour - but we started with DOA. This was a fine little film with an interesting premis:

I want to report a murder
Who was murdered?
Me.

There are other noir films that that enjoyed more, but this was certainly a good one.

Watched Pirates I last night. Needs to be on the big screen to be sure. I liked it better in the theatre, so this does not bode well for Pirates II which I missed due to the road trip.

I really do need that 42 inch LCD tv......that will make all the difference!

I think it is still playing in some theaters if you really want to see it on the big screen.

Saw Dead Man Walking finally last night. As soon as the credits at the beginning started rolling, I cringed. It was a veritable whos's who of whacko activists most of whom I have a particular disdain for. That aside, I was able to look past that and enjoy the flick. The ending is certainly interesting and the story does and interesting job of straddeling the death penalty issue...one that I am personally conflicted about.
