Across the Universe

A friend (Michael) and I went to the Bear's Tooth theatre this evening and saw a movie called "Across the Universe". It was pretty interesting. It's labeled as a drama/musical/romance by IMDB. I think I would label it a drug-induced/beatlemania/war/romance. Like I said... very interesting. It generally takes awhile after seeing a movie for me to decide for certain whether I actually liked it or not, and this one is no exception. But the more I'm thinking about it, the more I think I did kind of like it. It left me with a happy feeling afterwards, which is key in a good romance, and definitely laughing due to the absurd volume of Beatles music used throughout. And since it was a beatlemania film, it had to be drug-induced. I'm convinced that watching it while on drugs would make it far more entertaining, although I don't intend to test this theory.

At any rate, it was good to get out of the house and it was also good to have a reason to finish packing quickly, which I had to do when Michael called about an hour and a half before the start of the movie. But now the packing is more or less done and will be finished half-blindly at about 3 a.m. tomorrow morning when I stumble around and try to get myself to the airport. In the meantime, it's time for a few hours of beauty sleep.
