Premium Cable

I’ve been using my funemployment to take advantage of premium cable. So far I’ve watched

Perks of Being a Wallflower

Phrases that come to mind when I try to evaluate Perks are ‘good not great’ and ‘it was OK.’ It wasn’t bad but it just didn’t speak to me. I know so many people my age who act like teenagers that it was weird to watch teenagers be more mature and handle major dramas.

Warm Bodies

I like my love stories a bit different so throwing in some zombies worked for me. I liked it in the theater and it still holds up. It’s a good way to introduce a wimp/muggle into the zombie genre

Taken 2

Holy crap was Taken 2 unimpressive. The premise was weak and the story just wasn’t as good as the original. That will very soon be one of those movies on FX you leave on in the background just for the noise. 

Argo

I read the memoir of the Tony Mendez so it was really interesting to see it play out on the big screen. Some things were definitely dramatized but it translated reasonably well.

The Hobbit

It was like rather than love. I enjoyed the book many years ago but I’m not nuts about them stretching it into a trilogy. I know they’re throwing in a bunch of stuff from the Silmarilion and book nuts complain how they never include enough stuff from the book but this may dilute the original source material. We’ll see how it all comes together.

Hopefully I won't be funemployed much longer. I've had 4 interviews between 2 departments at the same place. Tomorrow will be mostly a snow day so I'll probably watch something else while I put up the Christmas tree.
