With the recent cold snap keeping me indoors, I had an opportunity to watch a few movies. Social Network: Main thing I came away from this with is....Mark Zuckerberg is a prick. How anybody could like that kid is a mystery to me. I did find out that his dad is a dentist in NY, so I looked him up and found his website I figured it would be the most technically advanced dentist website ever...ummmm not even close. Apparently Mark had nothing to do with it. Although I did learn that his dad's office is attached to his house. While it would make the commute to work easy, also your patients always know where to find you after hours! Twilight: The first movie, ummm only thing I learned is modern day vampires twinkle in the sunlight, rather than melt like they did in the old vampire movies. Don't wear a lot of tuxedo's either. Still stronger than us humans. That's all.
I viewed social network with my wife and have to agree that Zuckerberg comes across as a first class ass! If I was worth 16 billion I think I could make sure mom & dad would not have to work again for the rest of their lives... I did catch Surrogates with Bruce Willis which was not bad if your into Sci Fi's...Tried to watch Inception but it could not keep my interest...
Saw the Social Network and had the same impression about Zuckerberg. Saw the King's Speech. Good flick. It is outside my usual choice of movies. Mary complains that at Academy Award time the only movies nominated that we've seen are the ones for sound. I like those action movies with lots of explosions.
I'm with gipper. I've usually seen those nominated for visual effects in addtion to sound. Saw True Grit last weekend. Not bad, but I can't give a decent review. I was with a date and was probably a little distracted.
