Hmmm, I had the football game on briefly during half-time, but apparently missed out on the JJ pasty incident. That said, really enjoying reading others livejournal commentaries on it. Someone even made what appears to be a livejournal icon of Janet Jacksons' pasties. LOL! Heck this is more entertaining than the actual football game was, not that I saw much of it. Tried to watch for about 20 minutes after the half time, but got so bored, I flipped channels, then gave up entirely and turned the tv off to read and do other stuff. J tried to explain football to me on Sat, but sorry, still can't see it.
Saw Tim Burton's new film BIG FISH on Saturday with J. Really enjoyed it. I think it did a far better job of commenting on why we tell stories and the meaning of stories than ME did in Storyteller, wasn't sure I'd like it since I still loathe ME's version. But I loved Big Fish. Didn't have the problems J or others had with Billy Crudup's character - whose difficulties with his Dad's storytelling made complete sense to me. I've met quite a few people like this in my lifetime. One of Burton's better efforts in my opinion. Usually Burton's emphasis on special effects and fantasy serves to distance the audience from the characters, this round I felt closer to them.

Big Fish is an interesting and uplifting film. Highly recommend it. One of my happy movies.
Speaking of happy movies, I bought myself two books from Amazon with a gift certificate that an online friend generously sent me out of the blue. ( Read more... )
