Just comparing a couple of movies...

It was a rainy Saturday morning and I found one of my favorite movies of all time on TV.  I happen to think 'The Sting' is one of the most brilliant movies of all time.  Well written, well paced, one of the most gorgeous and talented casts of all time.  I mean Newman and Redford in their prime.  And every supporting actor was amazing.  And Eileen Brennan's character was Billie!!   I remember seeing it in the theater and being conned like everyone else.  I tend to watch it every time it's one.

After that was over, a movie called 'Devil's Pond' came on.  It starred Tara Reid, who I have heard of, and Kip Pardue who I have not heard of, as newlyweds who head to an isolated island for a honeymoon and then we find that hubby never intends for them to leave.  I missed the very beginning and there were a couple of other people in the movie but all I saw was the two of them.  And the acting was horrible!!  But it was only an hour and a half movie and I'd already started so I finished it.  Let's just say I was not sure who to root for because she was so stupid that she probably did not deserve to live and more importantly, if he'd killed her it would save the grief of the driver who ran over her later as she stepped out in front of his bus (which I can only assume was her fate).



How far down Hollywood has come....complete brilliance on every turn to hoping everyone in the movie would be eaten by a bear to save us all from the suckiness.

I cut off every thumb I could find.

So what to do...

So you are technically related to someone (2nd cousins) and you watch their marriage implode on Facebook in a really nasty and dramatic way are you still obligated to keep their current future ex as a friend?  Keeping the cousin is not a problem because he is not the dramatic one and frankly we don't communicate much.  The deal is they sought me out, not the other way around.  And then her mom and aunt so I have collateral friends.

I don't dislike this person but  she posts too much info about herself and too many negative things about this cousin that I don't really know.  Maybe they are true and maybe it's just drama.  And I like her mom and aunt.

Gonna have to make a decision soon.
