Stranger Than Fiction

Saturday I did something I rarely, if ever, do.  I willingly went to the movies.  I don’t like the movies.  The smells, the talkative people, and the fact that I have to sit and stare at a screen for two hours, none of it is appealing to me.

But when I saw the preview for a Will Farrell movie, where he’s a character in some novel, my interest was piqued.  So I called up Zai, and said, “Let’s go see a movie.”

It took several hours for her to recover from the shock.  But when she did, we headed to Hollywood Boulevard, our theatre of choice.  There’s nothing quite like a theatre with high-backed chairs, drinks, refills, and food, all while you watch a movie.  I figure if I have to be dragged to a movie, I may as well be comfortable.

This movie was a pleasant surprise, it was especially refreshing to see Will Farrell taking on a more sophisticated role.  Filled with a lot of deadpan comedy and believable characters, it was what I would call a good movie.  I honestly walked out of theatre happy that I saw the movie.

So if you’re looking for a good movie, I would recommend ‘Stranger than Fiction.’  Which, in a sea of sequels and remakes, is actually something original out there.

Well, that’s all for the moment.  I leave you with one of my favorite lines from the movie, “Aren’t you happy to know you’re not a golem?”

Zel-kun out.
