hot ham water.

I don't have anything interesting to say.

We're going to a wedding this weekend and I don't have a dress to wear.

Last night we watched a movie called Love Liza with Phillip Seymour Hoffman where his wife commited suicide, so he started huffing gasoline. It was the strangest plot line I've ever witnessed. I can't believe the movie got made.

We also watched Into the Wild which was also a strange movie. The whole movie was like a plateau. And the way he died was so uneventful! He ate poisonous berries! Who cares?! It was really sad that he died all alone. But he should have been more careful about what he was eating-don't you think? How long was he out there all alone? Eight weeks? And after eight weeks he decided that it might be helpful to know what kinds of plants weren't poisonous? What the hell was he doing the whole time? The end was really sad-that he died alone, but the movie as a whole was not that great.

We also watched We don't live here anymore wish Naomi Watts and Peter Krouse. That movie wasn't so great either. I absolutely love Naomi Watts and I'll watch anything she's in, but this movie really didn't seem to have any kind of climax. This is what I gathered from the movie:
Naomi's character didn't seems to care if her husband found out.
Mark Ruffalo's character did seem to care if his wife found out.
Peter Krouse and Laura Dern's characters seemed to know that their significant others were having an affair.
Once Peter Krouse found out that Naomi was having an affair, there was big trouble, but Naomi wasn't interested in sleeping with Mark anymore. So she left. And that's the movie.
LAME!

We also watched No Country For Old Men the other night. It was also terrible. None of the characters seems to be very well developed. We don't really know anything about any of them. So why should we have feelings for them? Why should we care what happens to any of them if we don't know anything about them? The killer is going around killing people and we don't know why-except that we think he's after the money...but why? How did he know anything about it? And Tommy Lee Jones is supposed to be "the good guy"? I did not get that impression. He seemed like a lazy southern asshole who didn't really care about solving the case. We watched the behind-the-scenes stuff to try to get some insight into the characters and everyone who was involved with the film seemed to be disillusioned about what the audience got out of the movie.

The end.
