Went out for breakfast this morning and managed to eat outside although a little chilly. Afterwards we were going to walk around downtown and pay our bills, water, cable and power, but the rain started lightly so we had to put the top up and drive to the three places. I’m sure we burned more in gas than we saved in postage, but oh well.
Watched Chinatown and The Two Jakes back to back today. I remember watching The Two Jakes on video way back when it first came out and I thought it was an OK movie. At the time I didn’t even know that there was a prequel. Today I thought it sucked, most probably it was because I could compare it to Chinatown. May even buy Chinatown for my meager collection. To me everything just looked right, Jack Nicholson was perfect for the role, as were the other main characters, but Roman Polanski’s direction is what made the thing great. On a side note, Chinatown was on AMC today about the time I finished watching it on DVD.
Favorite quote from the first movie: “You’re dumber than you think I think you are.”
