…follow up on The Road (movie)

To sum it up in one word, “grim.” The movie was good, it was graphic and true to the book. But I’ve decided the movie just can’t relay the poetic beauty of the book. You leave the book touched, whereas I left the movie theater depressed or slightly disturbed.

Kate and I are anxious to see “The Road” that is just now hitting certain theaters. We both read the book over the summer (Cormac McCarthy) and it was fantastically dark and beautiful. The movie looks good too:

10yrs sans TV

It just dawned on me that I’ve now gone 10 years and some change without cable TV. Overall this is a good thing, besides being one less bill to pay it keeps me focused on other hobbies. The only time I wish I had TV is during the Olympics, the Tour, and some big football games. But for those I can just crash in at my neighbor’s house.
