I Wasn’t Lazy

It was a very busy day yesterday and I won’t go into all the details cuz, frankly, who cares? But I will tell you that my honey had a computer crash the other day and so he finally took in his computer to Eric to have it reformatted and stuff done.

I’ll explain that my honey has my old computer. When I buy new stuff, somebody always scores my old stuff. So when he got my old one he had it reformatted, and for some reason the CD and DVD would no longer work. So he’s been using a computer for years(?) without any way to use a disc.

This has made things very hard if he wants to add a program or anything. I know I’ve put some games on his computer but I’ve had to copy the whole CD onto my computer and then access them through the network. That didn’t work for everything, though.

He’s also got Windows XP on there now; now that it’s almost time to buy Vista. So I was busy doing some installing last night.

We did rent a movie, and it was a movie that got a bad review by critics – it was Fun with Dick and Jane. We liked it. It was amusing, and I could certainly relate to the being out of work stuff. I don’t know why it got such a bad review.

The funniest thing during the whole movie has to be at the beginning when they’re introducing the characters and the dog gets zapped with a little electrified collar. I have no idea how they got the dog to jump like it was getting electrocuted, but it was hilarious… we played that part back a couple of times when the movie was done (yes, we’re sick, but sick in a very laughable sort of way).

Let me know if you’ve seen the movie and what you thought of it.

Fun with Dick & Jane starring Jim Carrey and Tea Leoni

I haven’t seen it yet – but based on your review, I’ll definitely have to. I never go by actual critic reviews anymore – I think that’s all just about the bucks (ie, who is paying off who). Then again, maybe I’m just opposite from the average target audience. For example. I hated “Titanic”, despite great review, and absolutely love Terry Gilliam’s vision of “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas”, which received horrible ratings.

Anyway, like I said – “Fun with Dick & Jane” – I’ll have to check it out.

I think it got bad reviews cause the critics generally don’t like remakes of movies and any thing starring Jim Carey (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind being a rare exception)

But I think I’ll eventually take a look at it, if I can ever get through my backlog of movies.

No – we have not watched the movie. But I want to say: We don’t listen to critics – we form our own opinion :razz:
