Well, I hope I learned my lesson yesterday. With my new Blockbuster online, I've been going crazy with the old movies.
I loved seeing Last Picture Show, even though it's pretty bleak. It's still a good story.
Unfortunately, I watched Alice's Restaurant yesterday (while staying inside so I could keep my leetle head warm. hooboy is my leetle almost-naked head cold!)
Let me save you from ever wasting your money or time from watching a movie that really needs to be shelved and never removed.
Arlo Guthrie as an actor. No.
Plot line. No.
Editing. No.
Damn long-haired, free-loving hippies. That pretty much sums up any sort of plot. With a really stiff and homely Arlo Guthrie who apparently just needed a movie to go along with his song.
So, anyone out there ever watched Bob & Carol, Ted & Alice? It's in my movie queue and I'd appreciate knowing if I should maybe remove it.
Which reminds me, I'm tired of reading books I don't like, too. Question for any of you who've read the two following books: Should I read them or not?
1) The Corrections by Jonathen Franzen
2) We Were the Mulvaneys by Joyce Carol Oates
I'm reading The Beet Queen by Louise Erdrich right now. I got into it right away. It doesn't have a very upbeat story, but she's a great writer. I'm not against a little darkness in a book. Just nothing too depressing so let me know what you think of the two books I've listed.
I have to go out and face the public today with my leetle shiny head. Can't wait to see how this goes over at the Frame Shop. Thankfully Mr. Frame Shop is out for the day (well, not thankfully for him because he's at a funeral) but I hear the mailman is looking forward to seeing what I've done.
