Watched REDS

Accomplished the week of Jan. 17

Okay, this one is kind of a stretch. I didn't really have an idea this week and then I noticed the Netflix DVDs collecting dust on my TV. Reds! Of course!

I watched this behemoth of a movie—all 194 minutes—in one sitting. (Did we really need all those shots of Diane Keaton and Warren Beatty dancing?) I'm not very politically savvy, so I'll admit a lot of the rhetoric went over my head. Maybe you weren't supposed to follow all of it? I hope that's the case.

I kept hoping they'd leave whatever rally they were focusing on and go back to the Bryant/Reed love story. And when Warren Beatty said to Diane Keaton, "please don't leave me" when they were reunited, there were tears. Maybe I'll rent that action movie Red to counteract my girlieness?
