Movie Night In Glen Rock

I stayed at Mom’s house last night because I didn’t want to spend an hour or more driving back into the city in the pouring rain only to have to wake up early to be back at the club by nine for my first lesson. Sean and Mom were both cooking last night, so I had a real treat; a multi course home cooked meal. I started off with Sean’s pasta and fake meat meatballs. Not bad, a good Primi. And then moved on to Mom’s delicious chicken with Indian spices, rice and veggies. Quite a treat… as I mentioned.

For the after dinner entertainment, I went with Sean and his girlfriend Sonia to Wes Coast Video to rent a movie. We took part in the time honored video rental tradition of walking around the new releases clockwise, each of us commenting on movies we’d like to see, as well as sarcastically suggesting movies that were really really bad. It was difficult though, we were all the way to the “T”s and still Sean hadn’t seen anything he liked. My earlier suggestions of “Good Night and Good Luck,” “The Squid and the Whale,” and “Brokeback Mountain,” met with little interest. But finally he saw “The Weatherman,” and while we all agreed that we had heard it was bad, we all remember thinking it could be good. Since, we weren’t going to agree on anything else, that’s what we chose.

It was bad. It had some funny parts, but wasn’t a very good movie. In the post game analysis, Sean and Sonia felt it would have better without Nicholas Cage, and I commented on how the storyline didn’t really mean anything. Satisfied, we said goodnight and went to bed.
