i went on a dinner-and-movie

i went on a dinner-and-movie date last night with my husband. we had some great thai currys at the lemongrass, then headed over to thea theater and saw minority report.

it was a really good movie. it wasnt a blood-and-guts movie, but i did have to hide my face during the eye replacement surgery scene. i just cannot handle anything having to do with touching, poking, or prodding the eye.

but the moldy sandwich thing? didnt bug me in the least. oh, i guess i did get queasy with the girl puking. but that passed quickly, so it doesnt count.

there are still a couple of points in the movie that i just dont get - either the leap in deductions was too great, or i blinked at a crucial part in the movie. like how cruise's character knows that the lady is her mother (am trying to be vague as to not give anything away).

and how he knew where the old plant lady lived. and another boggling thing is that the vision of him killing someone is what caused the chain of events which led to him killing someone. like the potted plant in the oracle's kitchen in the matrix: would he have done it if he hadnt known of the vision? i dont really think so. ill need to see it again to see if i missed anything or if these flaws really exist.

great movie, great dinner, even better company. and all on a wednesday night. what more could i ask for?
