Saw The Incredibles for the fourth time last night with Sarah (her third time). This movie needs to be on dvd rightthissecond so I can watch it without bankrupting myself at nearly $10 a pop.

Note to self: It is November. You live in Seattle. Leaving the house without a jacket = stupid. God it was motherfucking cold yesterday. Had to trot down Market Street after the movie in the drizzle. And was freezing. Brilliant with my cold, non?

More about The Incredibles, though.

God. Edna just klls me. So many funny parts. Such a great movie. Some of my favorite parts are quieter, too.

When Helen first suspects something is going on with Bob (the blonde hair, his rushing to to phone, and her over-hearing his conversation with Mirage) and she walks out to the garage to say goodbye. I really feel for her there. She's so vulnerable. Wanting to trust him, but obviously unsure. She kisses him goodbye and tells him she loves him. That part always hits me. Because ultimately what can you do? Love makes you so vulnerable and it's this incredible leap of faith.

Also when Bob finally gets it. That what matters most is his family, not the glory of his work. Especially not when that hurts his family.

It's such a long movie, but it really goes by so fast. Each time I see it I pick up something I missed before and have to marvel at how amazing it is.

Also! LotR:RotK:EE out in like almost two weeks! I think New Year's Eve will be spent doing a big LotR marathon avec booze and food. Maybe we can Shanghai Ellen and Jeff's house with the ENORMOUS, glorious television set.

Also, apparently (and I don't know if this deal is still available--it's what Jeff and Ellie got), I'm going to set aside money and buy the Lifetime Tivo thing which is $300 but is a LIFETIME of service plus the unit! But I have to wait until I have a permanent job, not just a seasonal one.
