Musing & Muted Monologues...

Trying to Make Sense of It All...

Why would you leave a giant plant inside a sink that everybody uses unattended? Why would you put a giant plant in the sink in the first place? Would it be too costly to get something from the dollar store to water your plant with in your office as opposed to the kitchen sink everybody uses? I mean, it’s not even like the faucet is running. Nope. The big ass plant is just sitting in the sink. It’s not like virtually the entire floor uses that kitchen, right? Ah, the people @ my job. So many wonderful cultures, there is bound to be some colorful shit like this on a day- to- day basis.
Anyways, copped a few DVD’s (Dogma, Road to Perdition, and Knock Around Guys) for my collection this weekend. Finally got the Common CD also, which I haven’t quite listened to all the way yet. I already own Dogma on VH- S, but wanted the Special Edition DVD just for the sake of having it. That, and the fact I copped it for my sister’s birthday last May and she has yet to watch it when I could have copped the normal version for half the price. Seeing as though the Special Edition is now half the price, I figured, “What the hell?” I already saw Road to Perdition, and dug it, so it was fitting that I cop it post haste. Knock Around Guys was one of the movies I intended to see, but didn’t get around to. I like it, funny and gangsta at the same time. Wasn’t spectacular, but it was definitely entertaining. Cool points for giving the consumer the option of wide screen or full screen format. Most DVD’s force the widescreen format on you, and a lot of folks I talk to seem to hate it. I don’t really care, but I would look at full screen before widescreen if I had the choice. Which leads me to my suggested DVD of the month: Snatch.
Funny ass British gangsta film written and directed by Guy Ritchie (who is Madonna’s husband currently). Hilarious movie, good plot development, outstanding camera work, and convincing characters who are all memorable and easy to relate to in their own right. Also, Snatch gives you the widescreen and full screen formats on one disc without you having to flip sides (I hate double sided DVD’s…their such a cop out). Not to mention it comes with a bonus disc full of extras that are actually worth watching if you are a movie buff like myself.
