This is another two part entry! So I mentioned in yesterday’s entry that I was up all night peeing like a racehorse? Yeah, I got so little sleep from that that I called in sick on a Thursday AGAIN. (Rather incoherently, my boss said the next day. “Well, I got that you were calling in sick...”) I was in such a damn fog I’m surprised I could operate a phone. Anyway, I went back to sleep until jerks across the street started doing construction on something, then sat around staring at the computer doing not much beyond being braindead, then I eventually uh...did the same thing as two weeks ago and went to the movies. (And then went swimming afterwards before my class.) The movie I saw was Trainwreck. It had a lot more people there than Magic Mike and I am pleased to report that none of us were shot for seeing it. So there you go. Anyway, like the rest of the world I have been on an Amy Schumer kick. While I have zero interest in anything Apatow usually, the movie didn’t remind me of that sort of stuff and felt all Amy, so I was down with that. I was going to write a review of it, but I have been trying to post all of my damn journal entries from this month, this is the last one to go, and I am feeling semi-brain dead about it. But I thought it was pretty darned good. Especially good bits (yes, some spoileration is gonna happen): Anyway, I liked it, but I figure it’s an “if you like Amy Schumer doing her thing, you’ll like it, if you don’t you won’t” sort of movie. To each their own on how much brutal honesty/bit of raunch/swinging girl they can take, I suspect. Overall, I thought her evolution worked in the movie, not in a “suddenly she’s gone Hallmark Stepford” sort of way (some reviews I’ve read seem to think this), but more of a “I can act like more of a grownup without having to go Stepford” sort of way. |
