This afternoon I finally blocked out a segment of time to watch a movie. To practice first-in, first-out inventory control, I started with Adaptation because it had been around the longest. Managed to make it about 15 minutes in before bailing out. Just couldn’t take Nicholas Cage’s whiny characters (Character is plural, because he plays twins.) The Meryl Streep portion of the movie that is supposed to be the book that Nicholas Cage is turning into a screen play seemed interesting, but it couldn’t overcome the WHINE.
So we picked the next oldest movie, Rabbit-Proof Fence. It had an interesting premise of a trio of half Aborigine girl who escapes from a re-education camp and head back home. The trick is that home is 1200 miles away and to get there they follow Australia’s rabbit, now emu, fence. We made it 42 minutes into this one.
Tomorrow I will try to get in Spirited Away.
