Tuesday morning thinking...
Published on October 3, 2006 By crimson In Blogging
Kevin Costner, how much you have done to hang my head. First Dragonfly, but I won't succumb to watching Robin Hood, Prince of Theives, I promise you that much. Guilty pleasures in watching Bull Durham, though. And what were you thinking about, teaming up with Ashton Kutcher?

Leon's sent two young bucks to heft an old dryer out of the apartment, and bring in the first new appliance I've ever had. Granted, my sister paid for it. I'm sure, that if she's out of Native Housing before the dryer kicks, she'll be putting it in the U-Haul too, but I've probably got better than a 50% chance that it's mine for the long run. I've been living in Native Housing too long it seems... young bucks indeed.

The one young buck who stayed inside while waiting for the other to fetch a screwdriver from the van seriously checked out my apartment. It was a little uncomfortable, actually, as it was complete in its usual disarray. Socks, Barbies, and last night's dishes all piled on the coffee table, hanging spiderwebs from the ceiling, and a very dusty television in the corner.

And the papers! I am, in no more than 15 minutes, about to get rid of the half tonne of paper products that litter my computer desk and every other surrounding flat surface. Newspapers, play drafts, bills from french canadian collection agents. Alors!

He was cute, the Leon's delivery guy, that is, but I could tell that he knew that my messiness extended into the bedroom, too. He had that knowing look in his eye as he checked out the livingroom and hallway that led in that direction.

Checked it out, indeed.

I like some of Kevin's movies, some of them. I did enjoy Dragonfly. I didn't see Robin Hood either, not yet. I guess he's trying to remain with the 'young - in' crowd by starring wit Aston!

Oh don't you just hate that, when there's a mess around that you haven't gathered up yet and here comes someone to service something! Seems that guy was probably checking out more than just your place nic!

I don't think young bucks care how messy the bedroom is....

First Dragonfly, but I won't succumb to watching Robin Hood, Prince of Theives,


Dragonfly was "okay." I thought it was far too obvious far too early why the "haunting" was happening, though.

Robin Hood, surprisingly, wasn't bad.

Now, Field of Dreams and For Love of the Game are great movies (with the caveat that the latter is a lot like watching a baseball game... heck it is watching a baseball game with drama interspersed). For Love of the Game is also a great novel. It has a lot of differences from the movie, but both rate an A in my estimation. I've never read Shoeless Joe (I think that's the name of the novel Field of Dreams is adapted from) but I've heard it's inferior to the movie (and from what people have told me, I'd probably agree with that assessment).

I'm not gonna say it. You can't make me say it.

I was pleasantly surprised by The Guardian. We saw it on Saturday--my brother and sister-in-law met in the Coast Guard so I was eager to see what Hollywood would make of the service. I enjoyed it--and it kept my attention, which most movies can't do (I get bored about 30 minutes in to most flims).

I usually find Ashton Kutcher to be highly annoying--but he actually played the part well.

I'd say it's worth seeing...

Costner's shocked response when he sees his father when he gets home is awful. His accent is horrific, but, it was a fun movie. Alan Rickman was simply superb, and it was nice to see Christian Slater as Will Scarlet.

I thought it was far too obvious far too early why the "haunting" was happening, though.


I didn't catch on until late in the game, and I don't think it was a bad movie, just too simplistic.

I might actually check out the Guardian, shades, purely based on your response.

Seems that guy was probably checking out more than just your place nic!


I didn't make the cut, though. hahaha.
