I am trying to take a little mental holiday in preparation for a season of nuttiness that will probably require me to brush up on more arcane rules of procedure. I went and saw Tron tonight with CG. It’s in 3-D which is pretty cool. The story is okay (picture The Dude as the Creator of the Universe who fucked everything up) but the graphics totally kick-ass. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Now I have to see True Grit to fully satisfy my Jeff Bridges jones.
There seems to be some decent movies out for a change. I usually see no more than one movie in a theater a year unless I see a bunch at the Philly Film Festival. I just don’t think Hollywood makes good movies anymore. They should go back to the 1970’s and let the lunatics run the movie studios again.
