Movies!!!

I guess some folks don't like pneumonia, but for me it's been a real treat. People ask fewer questions about my sleeping fourteen hours a day, and Joy brings me ice cream any time I ask for it, even before 10 AM (a battle I lost early in our marriage). Most of all, this pneumonia's allowed me to watch MOVIES!!! You know how much I love movies, personal secret Internet diary.

"Defending Your Life" - still brilliant. The portions are so big in heaven! Also, I keep expecting to think the ending stuff is schmaltzy, and yet there I am, crying like a baby when the tram doors open. A

"Empire Strikes Back, The" - just the best ever. I was coaching Milwaukee when this came out, and reeling from an opening-round Game Seven loss to the Supersonics (LOL, still can't believe we called them that)... I was feeling pretty rotten. Went and caught "Empire" at a run-down place in Cedarburg, and I'll be buggered if that frown didn't just turn upside down. "I love you". "I know." DAAAAANG. A+

"No Country For Old Men" - didn't care for this. I don't much like new movies. Too many tricks. D

"The Crying Game" - jeez, am I the only person who didn't get this one at all? F

"Defending Your Life" - still brilliant. A+++
