I'm tired...

Oy. I just finished and submitted my paper for my music class. It's due at 11:55 tonight (isn't online submission thingies great?) but managed to finish it with 50 minutes to spare. We had to pick an artist or group to write about who made a major difference in American music. I picked Buddy Holly and had a not too difficult time writing the paper, but it was just a ton of info to have to get out. I wrote most of it yesterday, but still had a good chunk to write today.

But I did, though now I'm exhausted.

I didn't finish it earlier, 'cuz we had the show tonight and the Roomie & I went to the movies earlier when I got out of class. There's not a whole lot out that sounded interesting, so we had agreed to see Poseidon (not a great choice since my family's prefered method of vacationing is cruising) but what can ya do? I checked and the movies was scheduled to start at 3:00. But we get to the theatre at 2:35 and the movie started at 2:20. After some thinking I realized that I was too tired to see straight an idiot and looked up times for the other theatre near campus. Since we were already there (an it was fucking hot!) and didn't feel like schlepping to the other theatre, we wound up seeing The Da Vinci Code.

First off, there was so much I didn't understand due to not have any knowledge of the New Testament. Roomie had to explain certain things to me in the car on the way back to school. So that kinda made the movie a bit of a pain for me.

Second, I hate Tom Hanks. Yeah, yeah...I know. How can you hate Tom Hanks?! Yeah I've heard the question a gazillion times, but I do- so get over it. Anyway, due to my non-fuzzy feelings towards Mr. Hanks, I (duh!) tend to avoid his movies. But Ian McKellen was in it and very good and so was Jean Reno who was fabulous and I loved seeing (Léon aka The Professional is one of my all time fav movies and how can I not love someone from the basis for my 1st die hard TV fanship, Nikita aka La Femme Nikita).

But overall, not my cup of tea. Or coffee.

I hate Tom Hanks.

I do, too. I've boycotted all his films since Forrest Gump. He's not a brilliant actor. Indeed, he seems to have only one or two facial expressions and doesn't seem to be able to really get into character. When I heard that he had been cast in The Da Vinci Code I cringed; I couldn't see how he would do justice to the character in the book, which I enjoyed. I think I'd rather re-read the book than see the movie.

Léon = one of the best movies ever. Plant!

I say to each his own as far as whether or not you like Tom Hanks. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I'm not a "but how can you not like him?" kind of person. It's interesting to find out why people don't like certain actors that I like, but I don't think it's apalling when someone doesn't like the same actors I do. I personally love Tom Hanks. I've been watching him since his Bossum Buddies days. I can honestly say that I have thoroughly enjoyed all but one of the movies I've seen him in and he wasn't the reason I didn't enjoy the movie. But I can understand if you have your reason for not liking him.


I will say that I have no read the book but my mother has and she has said, even being a Tom Hanks fan as well, that she will have to see the movie before she can see Tom in the roll in which he was cast. That reading the book, she never pictured him as that character.
