Had a crappy day. Stomach flu. I won't go into the projectile vomitting details.

So... home from work. bored. Sipped hot tea and watched movies all day long.

Mr. and Mrs. Smith: Kind of an average movie. Would have been a crap movie if Jolie and Pitt hadn't injected it with star power. Marginal thumbs up - but don't plan on watching it again soon.

War of the Worlds. I probably should have seen this one in the theatre. Didn't have much oomph on the small screen. A few good scenes, but really not a very memorable film.

Vanity Fair: Pretty good. Reese Witherspoon did an excellent job. The story, itself, is a bit depressing in the end. It starts out all "Jane Austen-y" but gets a little sad and unfocused ultimately. I never read the novel, but I get the feeling huge chunks were probably left out of the movie.

The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou: Hadn't seen it in a while - but they're running it a lot lately on the movie channels. Must admit I have a soft spot for Wes Anderson films. Found myself laughing out loud at some of Bill Murray's perfect facial expressions and deapan lines. I like this movie more every time I see it. Bittersweet but ultimately cheerful.

Sean of the Dead: What can I say? Best Rom-Com-Zom (Romantic comedy zombie) movie ever made.

Well... that was my day... 11 or 12 hours of movies with the occasional barf-storm thrown in. Aren't you glad I shared this with you?

Projectile vomiting is one of those events that is vivid, even without detail...

I liked Zissou, too. I only saw it because I enjoyed Royal Tennenbaums.
On Tuesday, the Russell Crowed boxer flick comes out...might rent that.

I hope you feel better.

Sean of the Dead is great!

Thanks. I am feeling a bit better.

One of the things I forgot about "The Life Aquatic" was a guy named Seu Jorge as one of the crewmen always sitting around deck playing the guitar and singing Bowie songs in French. That was tres cool and really added a lot to the atmosphere of the film. I also forgot how damn beautiful Cate Blanchett looked.

Shaun of the dead? right.

Good film liked the ending its rare that I'm not annoyed at British comedy.

Thanks. I am feeling a bit better.

Yeah...I feel a little dirty having the hots for a pregnant woman...

Like Al Bundy used to say, its like putting gas in a car you've already wrecked.
