Not a Deep Freeze but not Warm either

puppetmakerOh Spring, you tease. You gave us some nice weather and now we are back to wind that is making the very low 40s feel like the high 20s. Not much is going to happen outside the house this weekend except some stick picking up.
Caroline did fine in school yesterday. She is good to go back today so we are pretty much back in schedule.
Got a chunk done on one project but the other went on hold because Peter and I went to see “Paul”.
What a clever movie. I laughed very hard through out and there are some really far in jokes that were very funny. I know we had one other true fan nerd in the theater because we were not the only ones laughing. The cast is top notch. I can’t tell you who some of the people are because that is part of the fun of the film.
Simon Pegg and Nick Frost wrote a very clever script but they are also the brains behind “Hot Fuzz” and “Shaun of the Dead” so I would expect clever from them. Basically two british geeks are over for comic con and decide to visit all the alien sites in the Southwest in an RV and along the way they meet up with an alien named Paul who has been on our planet since 1947 and hilarity ensues.
Well worth seeing and there are some scope things that do need the big screen but most of it would work on any screen. My sides still hurt a bit from laughing. I haven’t seen a film that gave me that true belly laugh in a while.
I am grateful that I took the time to see Paul.

Date: 2011-04-09 02:22 am (UTC)Scene by scene, the many possibilities of genuine comedy are missed, mutilated or ignored by the creators of "Paul," a tasteless, vulgar and ultimately dumb-dumb comedy that stands to make a mint at the box office this weekend as a result of its very tastelessness. And movie is merely mindless in a repetitive way that takes low comedy to a new low.
Now I pretty much feel like I have to see it, just to see for myself how far off base he really is! :)
