Junebug

Well, today wasn't that flash; it was just OK. However, I did buy a ticket for the movie, Click, for next Monday...I bought it with a can og Spaghetti....does anyone else have this kind of thing, where you live?? It happens once a year here; there's a selection of just two movies, which you can get into buy presenting a can of any tinned food.

Last night, I went to the movie Junebug; it was fascinating...it's one of those "when two worlds collide" sort of films. The main characters are a young-ish couple, George & Madeleine; George is a Chicago lawyer from a southern redneck background; while Madeleine is an Art Gallery owner, and the daughter of a British Diplomat. In North Carolina, Madeleine meets George's parents, the quiet Eugene & the slightly hostile Peg. Eugene sees the couple as being worthy of his respect - "He loves her. She loves him," he states. Peg is less complimentary. "She's got nice hands, I'll give her thay-at," she quips. The other two main characters in the family, are the sullen Johnny, and his bubbly, heavily-pregnant wife, Ashley. "If the baby's a boy, I'm calling him Johnny," she gushes. "And if it's a girl, I'm calling her Junebug." As you do..... ::) Amy Adams, who played dippy Ashley, has been nominated for an Oscar for her performance. *** For about the 5th time since I've been going to the movies here in Timaru, I was the only one in the theatre... my wife assures me there's nothing wrong with my aftershave, so it must be sheer coincidence...you may make bad jokes, if you wish...
