A Song For You
Visited the Music Box theater last night and saw Guy Maddin's new film, "Saddest Music in the World." Turned out to be really really good and the acting was phenomenol. Mark McKinney and Isabella Rosallini were incredible but I was really taken with the guy who played "Rodderick." Not sure why but he held my attention.
It was filmed in a way to make you forget what year it was when the movie ended. I think watching it at the Music Box was perfect since that theater is like stepping back in time. Plus as a bonus we got a HUGE lightening storm and downpour when we left which we got to run in. Warm thunderstorms, yummy.
Saw a trailer for another movie I'm stoked about called "Coffee & Cigarettes." Jim Jarmusch (director of C&C) did the documentary for Joe Coleman I believe, but I unfortunately haven't seen any of his other films so I'm curious.
This weekend looks like it's going to be sorta laid back. Going to a improv show tonight and tomorrow hit up a new mini-golf spot we found. Hopefully I can get a little sun-bathing in as well. Now, let me clarify, I'm not a girl that has to be on the darker side of crispy all year, but there is something relaxing about throwing a towel in the sand and reading a book by the water for a few hours.
Oh, and yea, that daughter guilt creeped in after I posted my rant yesterday. Damn, my mother should be a travel agent for guilt trips.
Smooches!

oops..too many typos in my previous comment. PROOFREADING..i need to learn to do that more! (and i guess that's why they have a preview button, eh?
Anyway. i can hardly believe you haven't seen any Jarmusch! sometimes you really surpise me mistress! :)
I's start with Dead Man. Then I'd check out Ghost Dog or Stranger Than Paradise. almost all of his movies are great & he's got a hell of a lot of integrity.
I always love directors that creatively collaborate with their actors.
and as for warm thunderstorms, yes they are indeed very, very yummy! :^)
