Tonight's DVD - The Kids Are All Right. I think this could have been a great movie if only it hadn't been trying SO HARD to hit all the "normal marriage" notes. I do understand the impetus - it would be unrealistic to take for granted that a mainstream audience would see this family as "normal" if it weren't hammered home in every scene. But for me, it was just overwritten enough that I wished I could have just been told the story without being also loudly informed of what a NORMAL EVERYDAY STORY it was.
Also, I don't see the appeal of Mark Ruffalo. Is this the same kind of attractiveness I don't get about Nathan Fillion?
I like Mark Ruffalo sometimes, but sometimes he comes off sort of slimy/creepy to me, and I'm not sure why.
I liked him a lot in
Shutter Island,
though.
I love Fillion, but don't get Ruffalo.
True Grit last night. So good! Such a late screening after a very large meal (T-Bones and many sides...it was an event T-Bones and True Grit) = VERY tired now.
I always thought Ryan Reynolds was the cute one on Two Guys etc. But since Firefly I find Fillion exceedingly hot. Mark Ruffalo comes off as more creepy to me.
I don't remember the night scenes in True Grit being too dark. I hope your theatre didn't have a bulb that needed to be changed, Jessica.

It was my next-door neighbor's living room - I'm sure it looked fine in theatres.
aren't you supposed to be able to click on that puzzle and enter in guesses?
Hmm. Mine isn't clickable.
