I�m feeling a bit better today. It helps that I got out of the house last night. Lisa, whinerwoman and I went to see �War of the Worlds�. I know that many of you join me in loathing Tom Cruise for his manic behavior as of late. However, after the first few scenes I stopped saying �Moron, Idiot!�, and watched the movie.
It was an awesome movie. The movie has a PG-13 rating, so I thought it would be pretty tame. However after watching it, I came to the conclusion that they must�ve cut some scenes to make it to the PG-13 rating. It was that intense. Afterwards, Lisa and I both felt shell-shocked and both of us felt the same panicky feeling while watching the movie. We both had a moment where we wondered how much more of it we could take.
That�s pretty funny for a homicide survivor like me and a horror movie buff like Lisa. You would think nothing would faze us, but this certainly did.
I don�t want to spoil it in case you haven�t seen it, so I won�t go into detail. I must mention however that it was said that Steven Spielberg wanted to play on the 9-11 tragedy and invoke some of the same feelings.
It does. There were a few scenes where I said, �They didn�t have to go there� because it actually did invoke some of what I saw, heard or felt on 9-11-2001. Not many of us would willingly go back and revisit those feelings.
If you can watch this movie without interruptions or you can temporarily let go of your mutterings about Tom�s idiotic mannerisms and his devotion to Scientology, you will enjoy this movie. This was a great movie if you like escapism with realism. I came out hoping and praying nothing on that scale ever happens to us on earth.
Now I realize I must also rent the original �War of the Worlds� to compare notes. I heard that Raymond Burr played the part Tom Cruise plays. I�d be curious to see how Raymond plays the part. I know one thing. Tom is great at playing a deadbeat butthole jerk. Must not be far from the real Tom, you know?
This weekend, Lisa and I hope to go see �The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants�. I�ve heard guys say the movie is good, so I know we�ll like it.
I didn�t sleep well last night, but it was because I hadn�t taken my sleepy medication in enough time to get tired before bed. I watched the episode of Everybody Loves Raymond where his brother, Robbie, gets married. If I had a mother-in-law like that, I don�t know what I�d do. Thank God my ex�s mother is the sweetest lady on earth. Even though we�re divorced, she still says she loves me!
While I was gone last night, Little Bear got in the trash, again! I�m so sick of that! But it�s my fault for not putting food in the trashcan in the kitchen instead of the one next to the couch. You can�t really get mad at a dog for being a dog!
I get mad at him sometimes because he is such a brat. But having him around after Grandma died and while Jackie�s gone really does help with the loneliness. I adore the little guy.
Lisa and I are going to Woody�s on Saturday. I need to call my cousin Jacq and see if her and her guy want to go! Maybe I shouldn�t go out so much but I have 3 weeks until Jackie comes home. It might be a while after that before I can go out again!
We hope to see hottie sailor and his cute friends again. What dolls! You gotta love the young guys�.
