Mistakes made awesome

So, Jon and I decided to not sit around the apartment tonight, but to go to a movie. We decided on Jet Lee's Fearless. He talks Lindsey into joining us, in her slightly sick position, and we make our way. We get there, look at what's showing, and notice "The Illusionist", a movie she and I both thought was "The Prestige" is playing as well. We get Jon to agree on the change, and Lindsey and I get excited. We all love Christopher Nolan, Christian Bale, and Michael Caine, but, as I said, this was not that movie. This is the movie with Edward Norton, Paul Giamatti, and Jessica Biel. Big difference! The weird thing was, however, the confusion could be construed not only by title but, somewhat, by subject matter. Both movies involve magicians, of sorts. And both, or so I hope, kick ass. The other similarity being that they both begin with "The". It's easy to be confused by such things.

Here's the point of all this rambling. Go see both of them. Size them up. Check their tires. But I'm saying it now, they'll both be good. AND!, most importantly, they will begin with the word "The".


Post Script - I realize, now, after I've written this how completely unnecessary it is. This just furthers the point I made in the previous post about the nature of this beast I have birthed. Whatever. Time for sleep!
