But dinner was perfect

[beelikej]

While I was cycling to the Arthouse with my mom, I hit a pothole. Damn thing got me real good in the crotch. Ouch.

They turned up the heat in the Arthouse again: I nodded off several times during the film. So much so that I kind of lost the plot at the end. Oops.

Now I'm gonna try to get into bed before midnight. Watch me fail.

If you're going to fail, fail epically.

Right. Back to work I go. (Which film did you lose the plot in?)

[beelikej.livejournal.com]

I agree:)

It was The Kite Runner, which my mom wanted to see after reading the book. She was a bit dissapointed, I didn't get what all the fuss was about (I haven't read the book). I just didn't care much for the main character, but I was mostly annoyed by my inability to stay awake. I blame the heat, not the film;)

*watches you fail*

Meh, that's one thing I don't do: if the cinema is too hot, I don't stay. Heat makes me nauseous, and I don't enjoy sitting around being nauseated for two hours ;).

Maybe the movie would've been better in different circumstances?

Hey, I did manage to be in bed before one, that's pretty good.

I don't blame the movie for dozing off, but I doubt I would've liked it better if I had seen all of it. Although I could see the potential of the story, the main character's actions bothered me and I didn't understand his motivation for behaving the way he did. All the people he interacts with are more intriguing.
From my mom's point of view, the book is much better, so I guess if you are interested, you should read rather than watch the story;)

Ugh, The Kite Runner. That is one hyped book that just passed me by.

Same here:) Although sometimes a hype does make sense (HP!) this one was not for me.
