So I just finished watching Prairie Home Companion with my mom. I like the radio show on NPR; it's usually quite amusing. The movie, while it definitely had its amusing moments, was just, well, weird. Honestly. I can't think of a better word for it.
WARNING SPOILERS OMG!!! Like any of you care.
Seriously folks, the angel of death walking around backstage? Who thinks of these things? What does that have to do with Prairie Home Companion? And the old guy randomly dying, okay, I can kind of see that fitting with the rest of the movie; he's old, it's part of life, okay, okay, I get it. But still. wtf? And the Axeman getting killed at the end---it didn't do anything! The show still got canceled! That was so pointless, wtf? That's really all I can say. And the end was just weird.
END SPOILERS OMG!!!
So yeah, overall, the whole thing just seemed, idk, off. The humor was there, and the characters were well done for the most part. But the plot (what meager plot there was) seemed to go nowhere, and made no sense. Just left me feeling off. Worth seeing, I suppose, but expect no greatness.
And now for something completely different, a few other random bits I feel the need to share:
There's supposed to be a meteor shower tonight. I was all excited. So I go out to scope out the conditions in preparation, and it's cloudy as hell. We are not amused.
My cousin Dylan is here to play with Michael. He'll be staying all night and most of tomorrow. Somehow, my memory never quite manages to capture his extreme brand of annoying. We are further not amused.
On the bright side though, praise whatever gods may be for two-ply toilet paper. May its glory be forever known.
And, yeah. I'm off to go forage for a snack. On that note, I must say, it's pretty sad when you come home for break and find yourself missing the food from the caf.
Later.
