My Own
:Random Thought of the Day:
Idle Hands are the devil's playground. Isn't that what they say? What is an Idle Mind then? Must be something much more dangerous than simply having idle hands.
I rented "My Own Private Idaho" a couple of nights ago. It's pretty trippy. I looked it up and it's supposed to be based on a William Shakespeare play. Isn't everything nowadays? I didn't like the dialogue. During the scene in the abandoned hotel when they were directly quoting Shakespeare, I felt it really took them out of the movie. My favorite character was Scott played by Keanu Reeves. I was intrigued with the notion of a 'rich boy' slumming with every intention of going back to his privileged life. River Pheonix's character was almost too apathetic for me. True, he showed emotion and I even felt sorry for him...but he was just too listless and blase about his whole situation. I don't think anyone who falls asleep in one city and wakes up in another would be so 'okay' with it. The cinematography was especially beautiful though. It was a really well shot movie.
I've also started reading Shantaram by Gregory David Roberts. A doctor I work for let me borrow it. She said it was a 'must read' so I'm giving it a chance. I've only read about 5 chapters but I must say that I am impressed! This guy's writing just rocks! I really really like his style. After that I've been asked to read the Harry Potter books. C.c I know I should since it's such a huge part of popular culture. But, I've seen the movie...LOL Copout..I know that too.
