Today Gary and Diane returned from Phoenix. I drove to La Quinta to visit Steve and Mary; they live opposite the 6th hole on one of the courses that will be featured in the big celebrity golf shindig starting Wed. At 4 PM I head for the Camelot Theatre and my last film of the fest. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo was everything I had hoped. Clocking in at over 2.5 hours it went by like it was minutes. This crafty thriller is very true to the book, the characterizations are right on and it kicks butt. I jump out of my seat 3 times. I am sure Hollywood will try to remake it and fail, so see it in the original made-for-Swedish-TV version. You wont’ be sorry.
BTW we had weather here, real weather. On my way to the theatre we had a downpour. This was a real gully-washer and I had to drive through a dozen or more badly flooded intersections. When I drove home there wasn’t a trace of the flooding. Oh, and morning before last we had a 4.3 earthquake, too. Other than these two anomalies we have had constant 70-75 degrees and very few clouds. This morning [Tuesday] I can’t see 10 feet in front of me for the fog but it’s dissipating rapidly. The temperature is supposed to drop at least 10 degrees until Saturday and there are chances of thunderstorms through Friday. Time to get out of here. The Golf Classic should be a hoot with all the rain!
