After making my offer for Golf Course House, I caught a movie Friday night.
If you’ve read my thoughts on The Brothers Grimm, it may do you well to know that I would watch it again before sitting through The Exorcism of Emily Rose again. The Exorcism of Emily Rose plays like a Lifetime Movie Network production–a bad one at that. Ugh.
After work tomorrow, I’m making an offer on Golf Course House. It doesn’t mean I’ll get it, as a lot of things have to fall into place before that happens. They have to accept the offer, I have to formally apply for the loan, the house has to appraise at or above my offer, I have to be approved, etc. I’m excited about it and don’t see any reason why I shouldn’t get it.
There is just one thing, though….Has anyone seen the key to my storage unit where all my belongings are? It’s been so long that I think I may have thrown the key away. 😮

I just had a wonderful day with and ! We had lunch at Macadoo’s, which is one of my favorite local places. We shopped for quite a while, and I was able to pick up the 16-Month calendar of LOTR, the small version of the same calendar, a Shelob, Frodo, and Sam set (even though I already have a Shelob, Frodo, and a Sam..heh), a bunch of stuff for Hobbit, magazines, etc. The we hit Big Lots only to find incredibly great Halloween Village buildings. After buying several of them each (mine alone were $120.00 and I’ll post pics of my village closer to Halloween), we saw a movie.
Oh dear gawd. The Brothers Grimm was by far the worst movie I’ve ever sat through in a theater. OK, maybe it’s tied with Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. POA had a reasons to earn my hatred, though, and I’ve stated them all before. TBG was just bad. Really bad. From the script, to the score, to the acting…it was just bad. Matt Damon and Heath Ledger do well enough with their roles, but their roles are stupid. There is no cohesiveness to the storyline and whoever edited this movie should never work in film again. Ben, Jesse, and I have determined that it would have made a LOT more sense if the film hadn’t been chopped up so badly. This is a Gilliam film (he of the “Chris Columbus ruined the first two HP movies” rant. HA! The irony!) and he tries way to hard to recreate TAoBM, but just can’t do it. He doesn’t even come close.
This movie isn’t even a “but” movie. Van Helsing was bad, but fun. Troy was bad, but pretty. Even Sean Bean couldn’t have saved this movie. It’s.that.bad. Do yourself a favor and just skip it altogether.
