big movie time

[fflo]

shipping from netflix today: the first in my big movie marathon. on a whim i arranged for the first 10 in my queue to be films with "big" in the title. so if you're up for some taking in a little "big" noir, do let me know.

i think i'd been thinking, seeing the title, that this film was this other b/w not-noir '40s film. which is a fine lazy weekend afternoon half-attention picture. but it's not "big."

dunno what time. it should come in the mail saturday. could be saturday night, provided i've recovered from tonight/now by then. could be sunday, if you'd like. do you have a hot date for saturday night, ms. no-longer-single-at-facebook? ;)

i gathered :)

in keeping with the old adage that once it starts raining, it will often proceed to pour, i've started getting bizarro messages through facebook and friendster and decided it was better to withdraw from the whole thing than to struggle with excessive correspondence.

i'm not sure about tonight yet--might actually go to the party organized by the one nice man in my cohort, but not sure what else. will inform.

what are you recovering from?

yes, as they say, there does follow the precipitation of precipitation, almost as if inevitably, a bunch more of that. ;)

i'm getting ready right now to recover from stinking to high heaven. then a nap, i think. or at least a lazy lazy afternoon.

i bet i know who the decent cohortier is: the one who actually somehow senses my presence in the world when we are in immediate proximity, and who has been known to follow that feat with, omg, speaking to me?

that must be the one! he was the subject of conversation at a recent defense celebration, if only one for ridicule (of the quality and condition of his sweatshirt in the first year of our shared education).

one would think that in the course of six years more substantive qualities of his would come to light, or the sense of scale would emerge for some otherwise clueless people, esp by the time we have occasion to celebrate someone's successful exit from the game, but no.

i started working a bit, but now i'm lazy again. might go check out the parky-park behind our house and maybe take a nap and try to work a bit more.

Hmmm, I want to meet that guy in the other reply thread...

So, will you rent "Big", the charming child-in-a-man's-body Tom Hanks film?

i like that movie, but i saw it again not terribly long ago, so it seems too soon. and maybe twice is enough on that one anyway. even though it's a natural for the theme.

i think i might have an objection to something about that film and its delineation(s) of child vs adult, if i really thought about it.

i have an objection to too much tom hanks.
