I can’t really say it’s a weekend wrap up as I plan on being up another 7 hours or so. A lot can happen in that amount of time! Doubtful, but you never know- I may add more of my vicarious dating through Lara pics.
Last night I finished “Fracture” Anthony Hopkins stars in this legal thriller as Ted Crawford, a man who allegedly attempted to murder his wife and is now locked in a battle of wits with an assistant district attorney, Willy Beachum (Ryan Gosling). The D.A.’s convinced Crawford has blood on his hands, but Crawford is freed on a technicality, sending Beachum on an obsessive mission to prove Crawford’s guilt — even if he has to bend the law to make his case.
Wow, I never realized how unimpressed I was with Ryan Gosling. I never really noticed his presence before, but this time that I did, he really annoys me. He stars as this “hot shot” lawyer who merely comes across as an arrogant slime ball who is cocky, moronic and enjoys sleeping with his soon to be boss.
Not once using common sense or cunningness it’s a wonder Crawford outsmarted him at first and shocking that he wasn’t able to in the end? Who ever wrote this piece of garbage needs something fractured of theirs. The evidence wasn’t ever obtained- the only thing they ever had going for them was this apparent genius willingly spilling the beans. Maybe Gosling’s character should have gone into psychology instead of law.
My other film, “Art of the Devil II”; I had attempted to once more get past the immediate gore thinking that something else would capture my attention- As soon as I turned it back on and viewed an additional ten seconds, I fell sick to my stomach once more and shut the movie off. Will I attempt it AGAIN? I’d say no, but I guess it would depend on whether or not I was in a masochistic mood, bored out of my skull or an intruder breaks in, ties me up and forces me to watch it. I don’t like to say “never” as I’m typically proven wrong.
I went to GameStop to exchange Resident Evil 4 for one that worked, “Oops, I guess we forgot to fix the disk before we put it on the shelf.” Ya think? Being as the new one cost 2 dollars more than the used one ($17.99 for used) and they didn’t have any more of that title that was used, rather than being annoyed that they didn’t just swap me straight across, I paid the two dollar difference and spent a couple of hours shooting up not zombies. Whee!

Trying to play a game I thought I had invented “lawn chair game”. If your patio/balcony is facing a busy street where the speed limit is at least 40 miles per hour, the game is you need to place the camera in front of you and try to capture a car as it goes by. It’s either not as easy as one might think, or I just really really suck at it.
