My Blueberry Nights

Leigh and I have kept ourselves entertained for 2 days now with plenty of shows. We go for Prof. Mathew's class and watch hours of films, mostly world cinema, then have philosophy, sociology and ethics trussed upon our heads, fighting back all the inane questions that get asked with little or not thought actually put into them before they're fired to the prof.

Then we head back to Silveroak, then begin again with Friends, and more movies.

Last night was 27 Dresses, which Leigh found terribly disappointing cause she's been looking forward to it so much, and it was more like a typical romance story minus a lot of the romance that's supposed to make one feel all nice and warm and fuzzy inside (I think that's for her). I didn't expect anything from it, so it passed me by like all the rest.

Same formula, girl has some quirky thing about her (from Disneyland, is a Man-With-Mom-Shifter, etc.) and then has a huge crush on someone who doesn't love her, and the best friend that's always been there becomes the one in the end.

And this afternoon we watched My Blueberry Nights, which I have to say I expected to suck based on the reviews it's garnered so far and the supposed final edit by Weinstein. But it was good. It was great. It was tasty.

And it was lovely.
