Paranoia And A Muffled Cry

Okay, I think I have figured it out:

I’m dead.

Come on, I’ve seen The Others and The Sixth Sense. You know the story, a person who thinks the problem is everyone else, but it really turns out they are the problem because they are dead. Well, anyways, it seems to be the only explanation I have come up with for all my messages that have still gone unanswered.

Alright enough cryptic-ness, just a funny/odd point, today I got to work and our receptionist was wearing true ‘80s acid wash jeans and an acid wash jean jacket. With her bright blue eye shadow, heavily lined eyes and big permed hair, I really thought for a minute I had travelled back to 1985.

So on Tuesday night the hopefully interim Fantastic Four went to see “Be Kind, Rewind.”

The movie wasn’t overly spectacular. (Read Odd Todd’s review here.) The video remakes were funny, and I did enjoy the reworked Ghostbuster song, but overall, I have seen FHE movies that were funnier.

If you have had the privilege of watching “The Holiday” you have seen the Jack Black that I love. Kind, funny and even a bit quirky. Not weird, paranoid and oafish like he was in this movie.

But it was nice to get out of the house, see Riley and to even be on some odd double date.

But, mostly I think I just missed the original Fantastic Four. After a whole summer of movie critiquing together, the theatre just isn’t the same without you, either of you.

Well, I think that is it for today.

Staying the same amid the changes, and trying to stay sane.

As Always,
