Man, I've watched a lot of movies in the last week and a half! Started with The Man with the Screaming Brain last week. This week, I took myself to see Batman Begins, which I liked, but didn't get quite as excited about it as Ealasaid did. Then I saw Mr. and Mrs. Smith, which was kinda cute. And Silvia and I had a German chick outing and saw Der Tunnel, about a bunch of East Germans who dig a tunnel from East Berlin to West Berlin to escape into the West. Both of us liked it immensely, and shed a few tears.
And then, to top it all off, I saw The Man with the Screaming Brain AGAIN, this time with Rich and his friend Andrew.
We hung out at the Coffee Society (the one in the Pruneyard) for a while, got subjected to Paul Simon doing bad covers of his own songs, talked about music and poetry, and it turns out that I really did know the painting that W.H. Auden poem is about, and remembered correctly that it was Breughel.
It's fascinating to me which random tidbits my brain retains.
PS: Happy birthday, Bruce Campbell!
