Saturday PM Update

I had a very good day today. People have been asking me if the pain I felt previously has gone away or subsided at all, and I haven't been able to give a definitive answer. Well, I can say that that I am feeling much, much less overall pain. A day like today proves it: First going to West Hollywood to run errands; then over to the Grove for a movie; then home. I couldn't even sit comfortably in a movie theater this time a month ago. Even when I saw "Shine A Light" at the beginning of April, I was still in some pain. That pain has gone away.

The movie I saw was "Speed Racer" and I liked it. Visually it's like nothing I've ever seen; I'd describe it as a live action cartoon, if that makes sense. Although the movie seems to be marketed to a family audience (and there were plenty of kids in the audience, unfortunately), this is most certainly NOT a kids movie. I was surprised at the cursing throughout the movie, as well as the overall violence. For the most part, I was pleasantly surprised and I recommend it. PLEASE don't take your kids. If you are going to take your kids, for pete's sake SHUT THEM UP!!! One child cried throughout the entire movie. I wanted to tell the parents, take your godforsaken child out of the theater so the rest of us can enjoy the movie in peace! I kept my mouth shut... I like and subscribe to the WC Fields view of children: "I like children; particularly female children between 18 and 22 years of age..."
