Happy Holidays!
Dec. 28th, 2012 12:08 amIt's been a great holiday season. Exchanging gifts, taking time to relax, good meals and time shared with housemates, friends, and family!
Visiting Julie's folks over Christmas break has been great. A much-needed break, and a lovely celebration.
Only negative point is that I am still sick, with this week's feature even worse than last. What a crazy cold season! This is clearly the winter to guard your health closely. Hopefully my sneezing and sniffling and general irritability didn't make me too bad company, despite having to retreat to bed early on several nights (including tonight). Today is the first day I've felt much better, so with any luck I'll mostly be recovered for tomorrow. Air travel while sick is no fun at all.
I saw Django Unchained, which was pretty much what I expected from the trailer. I thought it was okay, but it lagged in the third act, with action more brutal and gory than interesting or suspenseful. A cross between shock cinema and spaghetti western. If you like Tarantino's more pulpy stuff and the trailer appealed, you'd probably like it (probably not as much as other Tarantino films). Otherwise, skip it for sure. (Edit: The acting and costuming and cinematography are still quite good, though.)
I'm looking forward to New Year's celebrations. 2012 was quite a year. I wonder what 2013 will hold?
