GO SEE IT!!! IT’S AWESOME!!!
we haven’t been to a movie in a long time. weeks, months, years, even. ok maybe not quite that long. but a long time.
tonight we went out into the seven-degree night to see “juno” and i thought maybe i’d like it but it was so great because instead, I LOVED IT!
funny, touching, well-acted, brilliantly scripted. it’s nominated for four academy awards, by the way – best picture, screenplay, director and actress.
i wasn’t immediately sold on it. yeah yeah yeah, a cool grungy teen girl who walks around with a pipe in her mouth, right, please don’t force your blatant attempts at originality and cleverness at me.
but then….IT WAS WONDERFUL.
after it was over i wanted to sit there and watch it again.
kevin paid a big price for going to the movies. this is the first time he’s sat down for two hours straight, and he was barely able to stand when it was over. PAIN, and lots of it.
he’s happily sitting on the couch now, having taken lots of vicodin.
it was worth it, he said.
did he really say that, or am i making it up?
i guess we won’t go see it tomorrow night.
maybe not for a couple of days anyway.
and now it’s only four degrees. but it’s ok because it’s so great to see a really really good movie.
i don’t know that i’ll see any of the other oscar-nominated films. depressing, bloody, full of lots of drama. no thanks.
hot chocolate, anybody?
deep in the heart of winter grace.
