In all my haste last night to get the Strangers photos up, I forgot to talk about how FUCKING HILARIOUS the movie was!

Of course, we all absolutely loved it. I was laughing so hard at some points. It was a really fun screening over all. People were clapping and cheering when each of the characters first came on the screen. It was a blast.

Some of the characters weren't the same. Like there was no Orlando, but there was a character that kind of resembled him. And Jerri's brother Derrick was played by a different actor, as was her father.

Most everything else was the same, to me. The movie had a decent plot, starting off with when she first gets out of prison, and mostly focusing on the state science fair. I loved Allison Janney and Phillip Seymour Hoffman as school board members. It was just so great to get more of Jerri Blank.

The Q&A was short and left a little bit to be desired. We're going to see it again on Thursday, so maybe that Q&A will be better.

As for today.... I've seen two movies so far.

The first one was Lonesome Jim which was directed by Steve Buscemi and starred Casey Affleck and Liv Tyler. It was okay. Nothing spectacular. I almost expected a little more from Steve Buscemi. I dunno. The beginning was REALLY, really slow. Once it got going I did like it. Mary Kay Place rules.

Next I went to Nine Lives which I thought was outstanding. It was basically just nine 15 minute vignettes that weren't really connected. Each little story was shot on a single take. There was one where a woman runs into an old lover she hasn't seen in five years in a grocery store. That one was my favorite. Huge cast, too. But none of them were there. Bastards!

Now everyone is at Mirrormask in SLC and me, Elissa and Thomas are just chillin before we have to go to our next movie. My next movie is Steal Me.

I'm sleepy.
