I AM BLOG.

I’m going to go against the grain here, so if you’re going to hate, just remember: haters wanna hate.

Overall, I thought the movie was OK. It wasn’t spectacular, but good. I feel like it’s one of those movies you can watch once, appreciate it for what it is, and not be able to watch it again (kind of like Little Miss Sunshine). There’s obviously some deep things going on during the movie. Not all families or relationships are perfect, but that’s LIFE. So deal with it. Got it.

The music on the other hand was nothing short of amazing. I thought Karen O’s stuff was pretty good, but was REALLY impressed by Carter Burwell. Actually, come to think of it, the two compliment each other so well. Really an impressive score and soundtrack.

So it was a good movie. Great in some regards and just so-so in others. In any case, it’s worth watching in the theater, but in hindsight, I wouldn’t mind watching it at home either. Cheers.

Dunno why I’ve never seen this one, but it’s hilarious. 50, you don’t need a career change.

I ate at Cafe Pinot with Chicco this past Friday. I guess this is what you can call my first fine dining “premiere dining” experience. According to Dine LA’s website, it’s not even considered fine dining. It’s actually one under fine dining.

If I have to be brutally honest, the food was good, but not mind blowing. Would I pay $22 dollars again for the meal I ate? Probably. I’ve paid far more than $22 for mediocre food before [like Harris Ranch]. In any case, I realized that while I enjoy food, I will never be a foodie. Give me decent tasting food at a decent price and I will be more than happy.
