A few years ago I rented and watched the video "Fools Rush In," starring Matthew Perry amd Selma Hayak (spelling may be off there.) I remember thinking that the movie was sweet, and a lot of fun to watch. I think that I had even recommended it to a number of people.
Last night they played that movie on TBS. I watched it with my wife. I had built it up as a really good movie that we'll enjoy watching. Well, it wasn't horrible. It just wasn't nearly as good as I remembered. There were a few serious "groaner" scenes, in which I couldn't really believe what the characters were doing.
Following the movie, I was led to a bit of reflection. I was wondering why I liked that movie so much in the first place. I suppose that it was the first time I saw the movie was when I was living in Japan. At that time anything in English seemed super-entertaining. I remember making "Full House," and "Blossom" must-see television.
My wife says the same thing now. Living in America, anything in Japanese is more entertaining here than it would be living in Japan. That's interesting...

After "Fools Rush In," they played "When Harry Met Sally" on TBS. I hadn't seen that movie in ten years. That was a good one to watch. I think that I tend to like all of the movies that Rob Reiner works with. I think that I am a Frank Oz fan too.

Baby Kenny has been really cranky over the last two days. He cries a lot. I wonder what's gotten into him. If he is sick, I hope that he gets better soon.
Okay friends, I hope that all of you have a happy day!
