HItchhiker's Guide To the Sahara
Wednesday, May 11, 2005
So, I had the day off today, but I wasn't really sure what I wanted to do for my Wednesday (which is my self-indulgent day each week). I decided that I would run to the bookstore and then catch a movie. While I was at the bookstore that I regularly frequent I recognized that Phil Lamarr, a very cool guy in my book (no pun intended), was not only there, but apparently a regular. We frequent the same bookstore. How cool is that? Cutting it close, I headed for the theater to see The Hitchhiker's Guide To the Galaxy, which I really enjoyed. Sitting right in front of me were Patton Oswald and Brian Posehn, both of whom didn't seem to appreciate the movie very much. I didn't see either of them smile once through the movie or the previews. When the film was through, they complained that it was too comedic a take on the original story. Ah, the joys of hardcore fandom. I decided since I had nothing else planned for my day that I would ummm...go see another movie. I was interested in seeing Sahara, so I caught that. It was your basic action/adventure movie, but it was fun. I liked it. I probably won't buy it on DVD, but I liked it. That was basically my day: Two movies and something to read. It just doesn't get any better on a Wednesday in May in California in 2005.
