A Serpent of Satan
There was a woman celebrating her 100th birthday in the paper this week, which was nice. Even better was her name: Leura Urch. (Leura is the name of a local mountain.)
I was supposed to go and see The Great Gatsby the other day, but, come the planned evening, we found that it was a closed charity screening. Hmph. But then, maybe not hmph, maybe instead it was a sign that I should avoid it? If so, I didn't take the hint, and plan to go on Monday instead. Hmmm. I am really not sure I want to see this.
Anyway, since our cinema plans were thwarted, we watched a DVD instead: Bernie, featuring Jack Black, Shirley MacLaine and Matthew McConaughey. I am ambivalent at best about two of those three actors (Shirley's great), so I wasn't sure about this choice. I had to eat my words, though, because it's a super little film that manages to harness Jack Black's Jack Black-ness for the purposes of good. If your plans for viewing The Great Gatsby are thwarted, I highly recommend this as a replacement.
