  We finally saw "21 Grams" over the weekend, even though we almost did the exact same thing we did last time which was get their late and the show was almost sold out.
It was all my fault this second time, but luckily there were enough seats. After a mildly confusing period during the beginning where you try to figure out what is going on (three characters lives are shot seperate and spliced together into brief clips with no chronologically order) and it is left to you to figure out what's going on and how these three people relate to each other. It's easy to guess halfway through, but there are still a few blank areas to figure out. The movie has gotten a lot of great reviews and word-of-mouth recommondation, but overall it was only good.
What bothered me was the way they ended the movie. It's very dark and has a lot of death, tragedy, and screwed up characters in it, but it's never resolved. Sean Penn gives a lame monologue at the end of the movie and that's all. It doesn't explain anything. It's a poetic attempt at making sense of all the chaos throughout the movie, but they would have been better off shortening his monologue or cutting it alltogther. I can't WAIT for my video camera! Actually, I can and am. But, I downloaded a copy of "Adobe Premiere" which is Adobe's video editing program (I didn't know they had one) and it's fantastic. It's a little technical since it's an industry standard, but after a few hours of going throught the tutorial, I figured it out.
There are so many options for wipes, fades, and tons of other effects, as well as being able to edit the audio, fade it out, and dub music or sound effects. "Low to the Net" is going to amazing. Our cats, Bojee and Monkey, are getting weird. Monkey scratches strange things like the bathtub, sink, the corners of walls, and the bathroom mirror.
Bojee is very bi-polar and is nice if you can catch her. Once she's being petted she's very friendly, but otherwise she's skittish. We were tv/videogame-fried by the end of last night, so I entertained myself by tying plastic bags around Monkey's midsection as well as wrapping her up in blankets and watching her try to get out. Monkey loves it all strangely enough. When Katie put her in our cat carrier and was driving her to the vet, Monkey was purring the whole way.
We bought the 2nd volume of DVDs of the show "Mad About You" a while back and they're great. I loved the show when it was on and it's still good. We've watched all the episodes and I've sold it on Ebay so I can buy the 1st volume. Go urlLink here to download ANYthing. Games, movies, comics, applications, music. It's great. It's a peer-to-peer thing and you need to download a small program that let's you download them, but it works great and ALL the links are good, as opposed to Kazaa and Imesh which you'll be lucky to find a good link out of thirty.
