Sunny 9 for 2004 December 14

Whenever Aaron finishes a semester and isn't on a school schedule, he really likes to relax and do a lot of nothings he doesn't get to when he is in school. This starts on finals week since he isn't one of those that spends 8 hours a day studying. So last night he talked me into watching two, yes count them two movies in a row, back to back. I didn't want to, but I often say no to things and I just didn't want to disappoint him by saying no again. So we watched first on Clean Flicks 'Man on Fire' with Denzel Washington and Dakota Fanning. It was still too violent for me, and an ok movie, but not really if you think about it, but if you think about it more it was bad but not that bad...one where you can't make your mind up about liking. Then we watched 'The Punisher' on Clean Flicks too. Aaron loves comic book movies so he rented this one of course. It was a lot like 'Man on Fire' in that all the killing was all about revenge. It was cheesy and violent for me too. John Travolta plays the cheesiest bad guys I think i.e. Broken Arrow, and some others I can't think of off the top of my head. So anyway, I can look forward to seeing 'Shakespeare in Love' tonight I'm sure b/c Aaron rented it last night with the others. Can you tell we like Clean Flicks? I also want to rent Fahrenheit 9/11 on Clean Flicks because I am curious. It will be edited so it won't be the full Michael Moore experience. I will take it with a grain of salt, and will let you know my review of it once I see it.

I don't know what I was thinking in my last post. Tonight I am going to buy Extended Version of LotR, and we'll watch that.

While we are on the subject of movies, is it just me who thinks the casting of 'Beyond the Sea' with Kevin Spacey and Kate Bosworth is just wrong? I mean why is a 21 yr old actress playing opposite of a 45 yr old actor? That is just disgusting and there is nothing romantic about it. Kevin Spacey creeps me out. That is just Hollywood/society for you. If it were an older woman with a younger man everyone would be turned off, but it is ok the other way around. I mean he is over twice her age. It is just wrong.
