It's Memorial Day weekend, and the weather in Chicago is wonderful. Great time to barbecue, and remind friends and family that we are not completely off the social grid. I had a couple of quick, non business related thoughts that I figured I would post.
1. I watched 2 movies, Doubt with Meryl Streep and Philip Seymour Hoffman, and The Burning Plain with Charlize Theron and Kim Basinger. I am not going to review either movie but I'd like to state that movies do not need to be depressing and slow to be good, or art. Am I alone in thinking that because I usually do not like movies of critical acclaim, I am not as smart as the film critic and the narcissists that make these obnoxious films?
Can Tarantino start making movies again?
Can Charlize Theron stop trying to be ugly, as if that proves she is a serious artist?
Can we all admit to ourselves that Slum Dog Millionaire was not the best (or even top 10) movie made last year?
Rent Zack & Miri Make a Porno. Seth Rogan and Zack and Miri Make a Porno is great entertainment.
2. Memorial Day Barbecue advice. Drink water. It can be a long day, and we do actually consider Tuesday to be a workday. 10 hours of beer and sun lead to sunburn, and hang overs.
3. Joy and I are on our way to watch the White Sox beat the Pirates at Comiskey Park. My favorite pitcher is going today, Mark Buehrle. We then hope to see the Hawks tie up the series against the Red Wings. That game starts at 2 pm. Great sports day.
4. Both myself, and my wife Joy have nephews who have or are celebrating birthdays this month. Quick reminder, the NJOY NOW card is not an appropriate birthday gift to nephews until they turn 18.
