Actually, I think it was just cloudy, but in my memory it's rainy as well because that's the way I justify our lazy day.
We made dinner: our special tuna salad wraps with roasted garlic mayo, snap peas for an appetizer, and wine. Because that's just how we roll. We bundled up in the living room (on separate couches) and lit candles and watched two movies.
The Tree of Life.
Most confusing movie. Ever. Watched. It was so confusing. Instead of being described as "Impressionistic," it should be described as "Abstract." There are dinosaurs, dream sequences, flying, not a lot of talking, and a LOT of pictures from the Hubble telescope and a couple volcanoes. Sorry I just ruined the movie for you. It doesn't really have an ending so I guess I only partially ruined. Decide if you want, but I'm warning you: we watched for about 45 minutes before deciding we had to take an intermission to get cokes and popcorn. That last 1.5 hours was brutal with lots of me and Erin screaming "WHAT??? I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE DINOSAURS. WHY DID THAT JUST HAPPEN???"
So then we watched Trespass.
Which most of you will know as the Nicholas Cage Nicole Kidman action drama. It really pulls at the heart strings. But I will tell you this: at least it had a recognizable plot. We definitely understood that movie.
The moral of this post is if given a choice between these two movies: stick with the recognizable one. Impressionistic = crappy movies. Great art, crappy movies.
