As regular readers of this venue know (how egotistical of me to suggest there are that many ”regular readers,” but nonetheless, I generally spend my weekends watching movies. Well, in absolute honesty, I do things around the house that require doing as well, but mostly watch movies.
Today I watched one I’ve seen a few times, The House Bunny, starring Anna Faris. The link noted earlier will lead you to IMDB and I encourage to read the reviews, lest you think this movie is “pap.”
My view is that there’s absolutely a place for “sweet” movies that takes one away from virtually everything that’s not so in our daily lives. In the case of this one, Anna Faris is a delight to watch…and okay guys, she is, in the vernacular, “hot,” but she’s also remarkably talented and it is beyond me why she’s not been recognized as such and done more.
That’s my House Bunny comment and I’m now watching Bringing Up Baby, with Cary Grant and Katherine Hepburn. Okay, two movies, 7 decades apart, not only hold my interest, but engage me thoroughly. I recommend them both to you.
I’m not certain if my “range,” as they say, is really that broad, or that I just enjoy diversions and I believe the latter.
This weekend, I was a bit distrubed, as I couldn’t find the DVD of my favorite movie, A Thousand Clowns. For various reasons, not the least of which is because of what I do for a living, I’ve got about 400 DVDs. A Thousand Clowns, however, has never been “officially” transferred to DVD. My copy was one I purchased on the Internet and not an especially good reproduction as it seemed it was copied from a tape. In any event, there are apparently other copies reproduced in Europe that are available so I now have to buy one of them…
And, I’m looking forward to a week in which I have to “prep” for depositions in a couple of lawsuits, one having to do with a client and the other, that nutty copyright suit.
Oh, jeez, I’m boring again today, but posting here is a discipline for me.
