Odd movies...

Christies comment about odd movies made me think of others I have watched...one afternoon about 4 years ago I sat and watched the strangest movie...the guy from Capote was in it...his wife had died..she had killed herself by sitting in the car and blocking the exhaust.....

Anyway...this guy then starts sniffing gasoline on rags and getting high as a way to connect with his grief and his wife......the whole movie is about him buying gasoline and sniffing it and his life falling apart...but it was a VERY weird movie......not really any story to it....he then had to find other ways to get gasoline when the local garages stopped selling it to him - so he started flying radio controlled/ gas powered miniature planes....so he could get the fuel.......

It was also a BIZARRE movie......I have never seen it on tv again........

What bizarre movies have you sat through?

Good Friday

Its Good Friday........11am. So far today I have cleaned the bathrooms, sorted two baskets of laundry.......tidied and cleaned my bedroom, tidied my scrapbook table...and I am about to wash the floors.......Derek is coming over at lunchtime about some jobs that need to be done......then I think we may go out...no idea where...maybe a drive to New Sarepta or something to see what it is like there...it isn't far but we have never been....

Lloyd is painting the edges around the door frames etc and then we plan to prep the girls room....

Last night we watched the strangest movie...it was called 'Broken Flowers' and starred Bill Murray, Sharon Stone, Jessica Lange......it was about a man in his 60's (I'm guessing) who gets an unsigned letter from an ex girlfriend from 20 years ago who tells him he has a Son aged 19.......but as the letter isn't signed he has NO idea who the Mother is.....

His neighbour sends him on this road trip to see all his ex girlfriends to see who the Mother is....all his ex girlfriends are weird and after the trip he still doesn't know which is the Mother...and then at the end of the movie he meets this boy and assumes he is his Son but the boy runs off and you are left not knowing who the Son is, who the mother is, whether he gets back with his girlfriend or whatever.......in fact no questions are answered at the end and you aren't even sure if the letter was real or if his girlfriend had made it all up.......

It was BIZARRE I tell you! BIZARRE....total garbage BUT it was one of those movies you sit through to the end just to see how it ends - but this one didn't end really - it just ended lol but with no real ending.....

Anyway - odd movie with well known actors so that was odd too!

Off to wash the floors!
