More Than Meets The Eye

Lucky me, I got to see an advanced screening of Transformers.

It's the summer movie to beat. I don't want to ruin it for you, but it has a wonderful way of melding the best of American genres. The teen film, the car film, the monster film, the horror film, the action film, the romantic comedy -all in ways that are unexpected and welcome. The result is hilarious and it carries the film, supporting the intense action scenes. This is a film to see in a cinema with lots of people, the reactions are as priceless as the jokes. It set a new benchmark for effects that will undoubtedly be noticed come Oscar time.

I'm actually going to see it twice in the theater. That's the biggest compliment I can offer.

Hmmmm

Still in LA. Going home today. Can't wait to get home. I've got a bunch of work to do and this is my last week as an officially unemployed person.

LA was fun. My cousins were in town, my brother lives here and we went to see Knocked Up at the famous Chinese theatre in Hollywood. And I got to visit my brother's two supercute chihuahuas. I like the idea of having a dog, but in reality I prefer the freedom of not having to worry about pets when I go out of town. And I'm not sure that a dog won't totally ruin my yarn stash.

The good news is that I finished a pair of socks this weekend. And of course I started a second sock within 24 hours of finishing the last one.

Oh and we watched 300 on the hotel tv. Lame!!!!!!!!! Pecs a movie doesn't make.
