Interview: they’re calling me back today to schedule a follow-up. See Friends-Only post for details.
Got The Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind from Netflix. I was pretty unexcited about the prospect of a Jim Carrey movie as I’m not exactly a fan of his. But it was actually really good, despite Carrey’s presence. It helped that he wasn’t doing his goofy, over-the-top “Jim Carrey” thing, but also, the story was really poignant and thoughtful. It was good. And I really adore Kate Winslet.
Having major technical issues. Comcast keeps fading in and out, making accomplishing anything Internet-related impossible.
Writing Stuff
Had Matthew first reader the folktale. Did two editing passes on it based upon his suggestions.
Told ya you’d like Eternal Sunshine. 😉
I thought Eternal Sunshine… was a brilliant movie…and am a HUGE Winslet fan. She is such a fresh face to see in movies, always bringing something classy to her roles. Have you watched Finding Neverland yet?
Anyhow, yes, I thought it was a nice role for Carey to slip into…not what I’d expect from him.
How are you feeling these days 🙂
ooh, I *love* that movie. And yeah, I thought Jim Carrey was a weird choice until I saw him in it… and then I thought he was perfect. He’s got layers, man. haha
Good luck with the job!! I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you!
I detest Jim Carrey. But I love Kate Winslet, and Charlie Kaufman, and those things plus the unstinting praise heaped on Eternal Sunshine have overcome that (just barely – I REALLY loathe Jim Carrey) to get the movie in my Netflix queue. It’s coming up soon, I think. I’m glad to hear you enjoyed it despite similar reservations.
i really like that movie. and i don’t like Jim Carrey, either. at least not his typical overblow “Jim Carrey” thing, like you said.
heh, that whole thing reminds me of a conversation i had last night…
We have comcast too and it has been doing the same thing to us. If we keep having problems they are gonna get an earful. Good luck on the interview. *crosses fingers*
