One of those...

...weekends. It was just one of those times when lots of feelings about life and the future and everything else hits you (lord knows if people who are older experience this anymore)

I saw four new movies, none of which were particularly happy, in terms of content or endings.

Topping the list was The Constant Gardner. Ralph Fiennes is awesome. And so is nearly every part of the movie.

The other three sort of come in at a tie, The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada, The Weather Man, and Lord of War.

All of them were pretty good, but became weak in parts. The Three Burials has the award for most non-sexual sex scene I've ever seen in a movie. I rented the other three, but Burials Josh and I saw in the theatres in Scottsdale, full of old white people, who apparently laugh at parts I can only surmise because they couldn't come up with a better reaction. (Thats another rant for another time)

We'll see how this week shapes up, there's an NAU banquet, and hopefully I can get something together with intern(s) for the weekend.

Adios for now.
