Monday was my birthday, and I'm glad no one made a too big a deal out of it. A couple of friends made a cake for me, and I got a couple of comments on my Facebook wall wishing me a happy birthday. I didn't get scheduled to work, so I relaxed a bit even though I was behind on homework (and still am, but I don't really care very much right now).
On Monday, I borrowed Ocean's Twelve from Mattie. I watched it yesterday afternoon, and I don't care what anyone says, I thought it was hilarious. There were a couple parts about it that I didn't really like. The use of Deus ex Machina is not appreciated in Aparment 33. Otherwise, it was, I thought, a very enjoyable movie. That whole with Julia Roberts? Genius. Music? Awesome.
Tyler, my roommate, does make a good point though. In Ocean's Eleven, everyone had a field of expertise for which they were hired. It's what they were there to do and they did it fantastically. In Ocean's Twelve, not so much. Everyone just kind of did whatever because the focus in this movie wasn't just one job. It was spread over a couple jobs, none of which needed any experts in any field (except maybe Nagel and his hologram thingy, but he wasn't even part of the crew). The whole hiring of the grease man, movers, pickpocket, etc. was the appeal in the first movie. Everyone had a chance to shine. Still, I liked it a lot because it made up for the lack of distinct roles with humor and creative filming, though I hear some people thought the filming was just confusing and stupid.
I also hear that Ocean's Thirteen was better than Ocean's Twelve, or at least that Ocean's Thirteen was really good, so I'm intrigued.
Oh, and question. Did Tess count as the twelfth person? Because she didn't really do anything, except to pretend to be herself (haha!).
Best line in the movie: Well, I gotta sit down on the toilet or else I'm going to shit on your feet.
Or maybe: God, it's almost like this Kabbalah crap doesn't even work!
OR: And tell him dresses like a gigolo!
Ah, so many good quotes. I could go on and on.
