the morning after

Okay so I am seriously tired from last night. I will tell you all about the movie, but first let me tell you why I am tired. So Matt parks in like a whole different zip code. By the time we get home the dogs are so hyper it takes them till close to 11:00 before they even remotely settle down. And in all actuality, I had to put them to bed because I couldn't stay awake any longer. I hate putting them to bed when they aren't tired because that endless whining cuts me to the core. The vet said they would stop whining as they got older, she lied. Toulouse is older than Rackham by 3 months and he is a much bigger baby about bedtime. Rackham just frumps and lets out a big sigh. Toulouse opens those giant eyes and makes gasping sounds like he is about to die. Ok - enough about my pups and my endless love of them.

The movie was no Fight Club, that I will tell you right now. But Angelica Huston and Sam Rockwell were amazing. I'm not quite sure if I liked the fact that it seemed to be an all star cast pulling indie cred. The movie had a very indie feel to it, but it was littered with stars like Bijou Phillips and Kelly Macdonald of Nanny McPhee and No Country for Old Men fame. While watching I couldn't help to think to myself if everyone in the theater had read the book prior to seeing the film. The script seemed very close to the book, but I have not read the book in entirety since college. When I learned that the book was being turned into a movie more than a year ago I began reading it again only to be distracted by a fresh pile of books to consume where I didn't already remember the ending. But as I watched the movie unfold last night I found myself actually excited to see what would happen next. Only once did I all of a sudden have a flash of "I know what is going to happen next."

So all in all I am glad to say I was one of the first to see this up and coming cult classic. I can't wait to see which one of Palahniuk's books get rewritten for the screen next!
