I'm Back - and saying "NO!" to "Yes Man"

Turns out they got the data transferred early, and I'm sitting down with my new computer. It's amazing how our lives are almost centered around our computers. My files, my music and photos are all on my computer. My little laptop has so much of my life on it. It's my litt,le friend. A big investment! I once liked Carrey but this movie pushed the hippie philosophy of saying "yes" to everything, no matter if it's good or bad, right or wrong - you make no moral distinctions. It even lands him in bed with a grandmotherly type woman - ewww. It's supposed to be funny, but it's really not. And there's supposed to be this turning point in the film where the big guru who taught the philosophy tells him something "deep" that's supposed to inspire him, but it's really just stupid and shallow. I realized that Carrey doesn't really represent any strong values in his films - he's just making money. Sigh. Save your money. We saw a preview for another film that looks funny - "New In Town," about a woman who is being transferred to Minnesota for her job. It's making fun of Minnesota's cold. She meets a cool guy while in Minnesota. I had more fun watching this preview than seeing the movie we came to see! It stars Renee Zellweger. Here's a clip.

Thanks for the clip! That looks like a great movie and I must go see it!

I also heard that Benjamin Buttons was great. Have you seen it?

I hadn't even heard of it - I'll keep an eye out for it.
