Jun. 24th, 2005 10:59 pmLong week...finally at an end. Celebrated it's closure by going out to dinner and a movie with Wales. Dinner was at the local Japanese restaurant, Osaka, in Brooklyn. Has a lovely outdoor garden, with ornamental tin walls, trees, and little tin tables. Then off to the movies. We considered seeing something a little more thought provoking, but both felt far too brain dead and craved comedy - so by-passed the art cinema, for the 12 theater multi-plex - ten blocks north of the restaurant. And used our refunded tickets from Sunday, to see Bewitched. I wanted to see Mr. & Mrs. Smith - which got so rudely interrupted on Sunday, but it wasn't showing until 9pm and Wales pointed out that it made more sense to wait until it showed up on DVD, as opposed to wasting a free ticket on it.
Very disappointing. Made me miss the original series actually. Wales and I saw it for free more or less, so we didn't mind. And we did laugh at sections of it. And saw a wonderful trailer for Rent. Wales and I saw Rent way back in 1999 or 1998, with most of the original cast on Broadway. I also own the CD. I have an odd affection for it - maybe because I lived in New York during the period it encompasses and have seen the period it fears. What interests me about the movie being filmed - is it is a tale about all types of love at a time when people wish to put a boundary around love and confine it. Art always finds a way to force people to face their own prejudices. The other trailers were pretty lame - although I got a laugh out of the Jim Carry/Tea Leoni remake of Fun with Dick & Jane. This was the first adult movie I'd seen. I must have been 8 years old at the time. We snuck out to it, when our parents thought we were seeing a Disney movie. When my mother found out about it - she grounded me for a week. The hilarous bit - is on Sunday, a woman brought a toddler to Mr. & Mrs. Smith and most TV shows, video games, and cartoons are far more graphic than anything that was in Dick and Jane.
