the truth about cats & dogs
anybody remember this movie? uma thurman? jeneane garafolo? a hilarious and surprisingly truthful movie about men, women, relationships and assumptions. i thought about this movie today only because of name of the actual movie i finally saw today, dogville.
i'd certainly say dogville isn't for everyone. the setting of one soundstage with small props and almost generic method-acting makes you feel as if you're at a local theatre production. i rather enjoyed the hometown feel to it. overall the themes of the movie were of humanity in general, the greed, the sinful nature, the lust, the humanness of all. the movie was three hours and has been touted by critics as a must-see for all. in my opinion, it's something hip for the indie folk to tell people to see, but it's most definitely not for everyone. honestly the last twenty minutes of the movie were most thought-provoking and the ending provided a small twist. if you have three hours and want to see an interesting (not ranking as phenomenal movie), go to it.
also today, i spent the remainder of my time with sarah where she's housesitting. pool, jacuzzi, trampoline, big-screen TV. what more could we ask for, i ask?! after lolling in the pool a bit, we lounged around watching some random wedding planning show on the style network (there's a style network?!). i swear, the wedding industry is raking in some PHAT CASH. these weddings were crazy $50K+ weddings and these wedding planners were running their tails off for a nice margin of profit from same. the sheer number of homosexual men with discriminating taste in this industry is more startling than you'd imagine, almost as startling as the shiny suits they wear. almost. just getting to spend time with sarah (and later daryll) was music to my soul. good times, good friends ... what more can you need in this world?
i feel as if i'm a wet noodle after spending the day in the water, sun, water, sun, water, sun, trampoline, water, loungechair. except for that twinge from attempting to do some old jumps on the trampoline. the russian, herkie and hurdler are no longer choice jumps for me or my sore muscles. but i still kickass (literally!) at the abstract. don't try this at home, kiddies!
