if the sun would go down just a wee tiny bit more, i would be able to see my screen more betterly.

when i read this in my email, i thought it said, "follow red book on dog face" which is intriguing. because it's probably too small for you to see, you'll just have to take my word for it - that's not actually what it says.

speaking of intriguing, last night we watched "the tourist" with angelina jolie and johnny depp. if there are two more beautiful people, well just point them out to me. huh? huh? that's what i THOUGHT. the problem with them is that they are icebergs. well, mr depp is more of a hermit crab, but ms jolie is definitely an iceberg. "the tourist" is intended to be an action romance with a touch of comedy and a mysterious twist. i'd put it more in line with "sherlock holmes" than, say, "die hard". mr depp can deliver, but he cannot carry ms jolie's part, too, and she's just not carrying her admittedly insubstantial weight. ms jolie is certainly nice looking, and she can summon up the tears, but her delivery is generally quite flat and her timing is poor. mr depp's timing is great, and his eyes are amazingly expressive (although he could do with a touch less eye liner) but his delivery is hit or miss. he's better with the comedy lines than the dramatic ones, and that's why his performance cannot carry hers. he has solo comedy bits, or perhaps he delivers certain lines comically, but playing it straight... well, i don't know. have you seen the movie? the more i consider it, the more i think he should have been allowed to let loose just a bit more with his comic ability because he's not so much comic-haha as comic-irony, and that's really what was called for here.

okay - bottom line: good movie, worth the pay per view fee, could have been better, but still fun.
