Movie Plots

stormdogI do not watch movies like a normal person, it seems. I have next to no interest in movies in general. When the newest Star Wars movie came out, for instance, I just didn't care; I needed proof first it was going to be worth the time to see. When I heard a lot of positive things from friends, I decided to read through the plot, and commentaries on the same, to see whether I'd enjoy it. I eventually did see it, and had a good time.
So I really don't care if movies get "spoiled" for me by someone telling me the plot because it doesn't spoil anything. If I don't know what happens, I suppose I feel like I don't know enough to decide if it's worth going to. (Something like The Sixth Sense is a vanishingly rare exception to this.)
Anyway, I hear that Civil War was pretty good, but I'd rather see an alternate history version of Reconstruction where Johnson is impeached out of office and Grant doesn't withdraw the troops from the Southern states.

I was pretty anxious in the morning about catching up on money and things, but I got a really nice 19 mile ride to the Botanic Gardens and back and am feeling better. There were so many folks out with their kids in trailers and things, including a couple on a tandem bike with a kid in a trailer. So cute!
