It was a good movie; made me laugh, made me angry, surprised me too! It was infuriating in some respects and perfectly charming in others. I have to say that it was real and that can be bothersome to me. Jason Reitman is not a sugar-coater for sure.

George Clooney looks so much like his daddy that it is weird.
Jason Bateman was in it too.

I am not recommending the movie – Glenda, Adelaide, Mom – there’s cursing and other things. But, for a film made by Babylonians about Babylon . . . it represents.

After the viewing we drove home down a street lined with retail and restaurants. I looked “up in the air” and saw that the Hometown Buffet sign wasn’t completely lit. As a matter of fact , the m e t o w and n were all blown out. Yea, it was a Ho Buffet. REALLY?????? Surely the manager isn’t going to let that go for too long.

My sweet Honey proved how well he knows me by asking if I wanted to turn around and go take a picture. I got a new camera for Christmas – a tiny one, just perfect to keep in my purse for surprise moments that must be captured. Moments just like this one. I changed bags before we went out and I didn’t have my camera. Honey says I will be going back tomorrow night to get the photo as consequence for my bad decision. We’ll see.
