The great multiplex conspiracy...

I thought I would go see a matinee of The Martian Child today, but no. This and a couple of other movies are only showing after regular price tickets kick in. I have to wait until Monday to see this movie at the matinee price. I realize that for some, to quibble over three dollars is silly, but it means the difference between movie and popcorn or just the movie. And so I wait, and curse the multiplex big wigs for not offering this film during matinee hours today. Now I am stuck with cleaning, and dreaded paperwork I've been neglecting, and writing that best seller, and buying my lottery ticket, because spending a dollar on a once in a lifetime opportunity is all the financial plan I can afford.

I love John Cusack--he's adorable. Remember that movie where he was a Jewish art dealer and befriended Hitler? He starred in that movie, I think, with this tres adorable guy who was in this movie I saw about a guy who falls in love with a mannequin female. "Lars and..." Not sure of the title. Premise was interesting but the movie did that all-American bullshit thing where the town gathers around Lars and his delusion with the mannequin to support him. So unlike reality. Delusion overload. Hope you are well. The dictator canine woke me up at 7 this morning and I predict same tomorrow. Au revoir, Eleanor.
