after spending the first few weeks of my unemployment attempting to overachieve in the home-life productivity realm, i've given up and settled into a slightly more relaxing routine these days. whether or not spending more quality time with my bed and my television is a healthy development remains to be seen, but goddammit, sleeping until noon and watching every movie i've ever wanted to see is turning out to be pretty darn nice.
two oldies that had been languishing on my netflix queue forever and SO shouldn't have been are:
network and the taking of pelham one two three. both were excellent - the former i found especially fitting for me to be watching during such a turbulent time, and the latter turned out to be a surprising mix* of speed, reservoir dogs, ghostbusters 2, and grumpy old men**, which is like all of mine and missy's fave films combined.
*this might sound like a bad mix idea, but similar to those salty&sweet snack mixes that you think seem kind of gross when reading all the different flavors but then taste heavenly later on when you drunkenly devour them, it does, in fact, work. plus jerry stiller is in it being all sarcastic, and when does his crotchety sassiness not make a program more enjoyable?
**well, only one of us likes grumpy old men. and it's not me.

Anything with Walter Matthau in is worth a look.
That man became a hero when he delivered the immortal line "why don't you pull your bottom lip over your head and swallow?"
he doesn't deliver any one-liners of quite that caliber in this one...but don't let that deter you!
