house of flying dogs I mean daggers
Sometimes, our house seems to have dogs pretty much everywhere...that's okay, there are so many dogs who live with us and three of them are considered "large". Cowgirl, the terrier mixette seems like a toy breed compared to chubby Roy Bean and tall, thin, Keni. We love them all very much, I'm not complaining. Still, when it rains, they are very much "with us".
Tonight my daughter asked if I wanted to go see a movie with her. This is rare. She's 17.,.so I jumped on it and dashed for a look at the web for movie times. We only go to movies at the Alamo or the Dobie because I have a "thing" about people talking or walking around during movies and at most multiplexes, people talk and walk a lot. We decided to see Million Dollar Baby at the Alamo, cause we were also pretty hungry.
I haven't had 2 minutes alone with Ace in ages and there was so much to catch up on, the musical, her love life, how she feels about the Iraqi elections, everything. We got to the theatre 10 minutes before movie time and the show was sold out. As luck would have it, there were plenty of tickets to House of Flying Daggers.
This movie was breathtaking...at first I had a few flashbacks from when I tried Kung Fu and got some knee problems, and from when I tried another martial arts form and never quite mastered the spin kick...but that passed quickly.
Like most great films about wars and old alliances this was a love story. Twists and turns and fast steeds and bamboo forests and aspens and autumn and flying daggers- this is an epic, a beautiful treat of an epic. Go see it on the big screen. Go to the Alamo and enjoy dinner while you watch. Take a teenager with you.
It was a very good week overall...Shot a bit of the new homeless doc. with two wonderful gentlemen. Both of them are artists, both of them are amazing and interesting and have many stories to tell. When I told one of my homeless friends that we were out of lunches he brought back about 8 boxes of terra chip samples givn to him by some guy who was doing a demo down town. He brought box after box after box. That was pretty sweet.
Buckner came over and we recorded the narration track for Rescue Me. He'll start on the final post sound on Monday morning! There are many people who came together and made this project happen. The screening is 2/10/05. We'll be ready.
