livingdebToday I brought Robin to see "Fall to Grace." He also liked it. I forgot how many sad parts there are, but also how many funny parts there are. I forgot how wacky the Mexican stand-off scene got:
"What are you doing here?"
"I stopped for milk. On the way to kill you."
"You stopped for milk?"
And of course, the placement of the guns, always interesting in this sort of scene.
I didn't see anyone else I knew at the theatre. Just because they're all out of town, or just went to see a movie yesterday... Austinites, next weekend it's playing again!

Later at home we watched "Walk the Line" on DVD. It makes me want to learn more about June Carter Cash. Her character is one of the few I've seen in a movie or TV show who could refrain from kissing someone who tried to kiss her, just because it was wrong. And she kept saying no, just as she should have, for a very long time. From the movie, I would never have guessed that it would have been a good idea for her to marry Johnny Cash. He seemed like nothing but trouble, but apparently he straightened himself up for her and/or she helped him straighten himself up directly.
Her first divorce was described as messy. I want to know what happened. In the movie, a fan of her family's said that getting a divorce was an abomination and she was going to hell. June replied that she was sorry to disappoint the woman. What amazing tact!
The internet shows me that she wrote an autobiography and a memoir, so I'll start there. She also did comedy, so her books may be funny as well as informative. I'll be checking out the newly remodeled Fine Arts library at the university.
By the way, Reese Witherspoon can sing. I really like her singing. Joaquin Phoenix does a creditable job with his role, too.
