KEEP IN MIND: THIS WILL HAVE PROBABLY A BUTTLOAD OF SPOILERS
*yawn*
I guess I was expecting something different. The origin of Hannibal Lecter; justifying his insanity. It didn't do it for me. The Germans kill and eat his little sister and the rest of the movie is Hannibal getting revenge on this one incident. He was 8 at the time, his sister no more than 2. So yeah, it's a grusome event for any 8 year old. I'm not saying it wasn't justified, but the rest of the movie was Hannibal acting out his revenge on those that took a bite. Then it ends, with a trademark Hannibal pun of course. And then, for his aunt to be Japanese, living in France, made it totally unbelievable for me. Hannibal himself was from Lithuana (this might have been known previously, but I can't recall). I just thought it would be a lot different.
I'd give it a solid 2 out of 5 stars.
1. Sling Blade
2. Hannibal Rising

Daily Entry
So my job interview was rescheduled for Monday due to a "family emergency". Which is no big deal from the outset. The problem is that they tried to contact me on Wednesday but couldn't get a hold of me until yesterday. I hope things go well and I can start making some actual money. The money I have coming in and the money I have going out every month is pretty equal, which leaves me with just about nothing for spending money. I think I calculated that if I had an extra $10,000 a year (bringing my salary to right around $43,000) it would help out a lot. I'll start by asking for $45,000 to see where I'm at.
In other news, I plan on becoming a Braves fan again this year. It's not that I jumped ship because they had a bad year last year (79-83, 4th in NL East), but because they don't show any games on TBS any longer. I'm trying to find a schedule but to no avail. I guess that's why we have box scores! Of course the Red Sox have NESN so I'll probably watch too many of their games. I might have to move to KY just to get coverage of the Braves!
Probably going to see Hannibal Rising tonight so expect a full review next week.

Where I'm headed
Most people do New Year's Resolutions during the week between Christmas and New Year's. I am not most people.
My resolutions for the rest of '07:
a) Generate a third income. I was looking into Ebay businesses for a while and that still intrigues me, but the startup cost (inventory, marketing, etc) would be hell. I think my first area of business should be getting a better first income.
b) Write a script/film a movie. This requires me sitting down and actually brainstorming and writing, which is hard. I have about a million ideas but it's actually organizing them into something coherent. I also need a camera and actors, but I'm confident I could get something done to rival "The Long Walk" or "Vision of Doom".
c) Get a laptop. This is a more superficial goal, but I think it needs to happen. Currently I have no computer set up at home and it's kind of distressing. That probably sounds pretty sad so I'll move on.
d) Gain weight. This requires eating, which I do little of lately. This is mostly due to the fact that I can't cook. But I can make Mac and Cheese and reheat leftovers. I'm also throwing a couple other things in here: Take lunch to work and start doing exercises (pushups, situps).

Update of Updates
So I haven't been around in a while. This is going to change as I now plan on doing some type of update at least once a day, maybe more depending on certain things. Here are some new ideas where I want to take this thing:
a) A Red Sox/Braves mini-blog, complete with news and notes and game recaps. This will require me to actually watch games, analyze box scores and transactions, and be up to date with the teams. Maybe when training camp starts I'll do something similar for my beloved Patriots.
b) Bowling updates. Though it's not going so great for me, we are in 5th and I plan on updating everyone as we head down to the wire. This includes the State Tournament (Mount Greylock!) which should be sometime in April.
c) Real Life updates. These will be few and far between, most likely, as everyone knows I'm kinda a private person.
d) The movie reviews. I hope to bring this back, as it kinda failed. I'll probably start a new.
If anyone has any suggestions of things they would like to see, I'd love to hear it.
