Today I figured that I'd go to a movie that I'd really been wanting to see for quite some time now - Funny People. Whoops! It's gone from the local multiplex already. Oh, well. I guess I'll catch that one on DVD. At two hours and twenty minutes long, the movie is way beyond the limit I set for the Byrd's extremely unforgiving seats.
So, instead I made some noodles and watched the third season of "The State".
Tonight it's just a boy and his (sister's) dog, some pistachio almond ice cream, a nice pipe, and Let the Right One In (my brother highly recommended it).
I loved, "Let the Right One In." However, I heard that the US DVD's translation was pretty awful. Hopefully, it will be bearable enough, because this movie definitely deserves at least a cult fan-base via DVD. Great story. Although the book is waaaay more intense than the movie was, from what I've read on the IMDB message boards.
ReplyDeleteI borrowed my brother's DVD and it indeed does have the dumbed-down subtitles, but it wasn't very distracting.

And since I doubt I'll ever read the source material, I read this very spoilery comparison piece (which fleshed out a lot of the film's ambiguities): http://www.avclub.com/articles/let-the-right-one-in,25503/
