Who Knows

I've been renting a lot of movies lately. Most of them have been fairly good, but really really sad.

Today I watched Mystic River. It won a lot of Academy Awards for the acting in it, so I expected it to be decent. It ended up being really good, but there's not one good thing in it. It's all a series of sad events and nothing happy comes from it, it's not like American Beauty where there's at least some humor to the sadness of the people, this movie is just sad.

Yesterday I watched Secret Window. Once again a really good movie. Probably the best Stephen King movie second to Green Mile. The acting was of course good becuase of Johnny Depp who can carry I movie single handly if he needed to, and of course it had Jesus in it. Not like the real Jesus or even the Jesus from Mel Gibson's box office tanker "The Passion", but ya know JESUS! from "The Big Lebowski"! And nobody fucks with Jesus. So, it had to be a good movie.

And I've been sucked into playing the Lotto lately. I know it's stupid and the chances of winning are terrible, but it's still fun to dream and I have a lot of dreams.
