sam_gamgeeSo far it seems like the good news is that I won't be turning into my mother.
The bad news? I'm probably going to turn into my father.
This revelation was brought on by the two of us seeing The Family Stone tonight. We both enjoyed it a lot and I highly recommend it to everyone. And it was written and directed by Thomas Bezucha, who did Big Eden. And we both geeked out at recognizing the town that it was filmed in - Madison, NJ. Which is where I did a theatre internship a little over two and a half years ago. So that was fun, knowing where things were and recognizing landmarks.
And don't get me wrong - my mom enjoys movies too and I think would even enjoy this one, but I think she goes into watching most of them with preconcieved notions that they all need to be worthy of at least some award, whereas my dad and I just go into the whole thing to enjoy.
So, in summation, rent the movie as soon as it comes out. You will not be disappointed.
And on a completely different note - is anyone going to be at the Phantoms game on Sunday?
