Jonah: What are our fish called? Tiger Chunkies?

Bill Murray
We like Bill Murray.
We recently watched Rushmore, which I’d give an A-. Joanna liked it “a whole lot” as well. Ben should enjoy it, if he hasn’t already seen it.
Next we watched Ed Wood, which wasn’t really a Bill Murray film (he only had a small part), and wasn’t that good. considering that it’s the story of the worst film director of all time, I’m not sure how good it could have been, anyway.
We also watched Broken Flowers, which wasn’t in any way bad. But I was expecting really good. And it just wan’t really good. It’s done by the same dude who made Coffee and Cigarettes which helped explain things a bit. I do like the generally unresolved note of the movie. It has a tendancy to come off as just a slight pompous, which is not a good thing for a movie insisting that it’s ordinary. I’m not sure anyone who reads this would like it, but maybe.
Ghostbusters is coming up next because Jonah’s never seen it. Her parents were afraid that if she saw it, she’d wind up marrying a non-christian. As a result, she’s almost 32 years old and is culturally deficient.
Worst Wesbite Ever
The worst website ever. I dare you to find worse.
Forecast.
Tonight: Periods of snow. The snow could be heavy at times. Low around 18. Blustery, with a north northwest wind between 20 and 25 mph, with gusts as high as 35 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New snow accumulation of 9 to 13 inches possible.
So we’re doing the Netflix thing again.
Billy Elliot: If you like well-produced movies with English accents and essentially no plot or substance, and you’re female, you’ll like Billy Elliot. I was unimpressed, but it’s not like it was bad– just boring and predictable.
Girl, Interrupted: After hearing a This American Life interview with the author, and on Jonah’s recommendation I thought I’d watch it. Much better than I suspected it would be. Worth watching, but nothing spectacular. It made me think about things that I’m not entirely sure I wanted to think about.
