Don't you love Robert Downey, Jr. I just adore him. I think I first loved him in Only You..."Itly...What's my wife doin' in Itly???" Probably the cheesiest movie ever put to film. Well, maybe not the cheesiest, but, well. It's up there. Such good memories, what with watching freshman year at the Movies 8 with the roomies. I think we all sort of fell for Mr. Downey, Jr.
And then he hit that rough patch and who knows what was up with him, but he had a miraculous comeback, schew! So glad about it.
And today was one of those days. I'm fully willing to admit that I have issues with being sad. I wonder at the people who take all things in stride and can maintain an even emotional keel at almost all times. I have serious envy of such folks. I am not one of those folks. But anyway, I can admit to the sadness issues, but one thing I am not...grumpy. Not since my younger days, mostly in high school.
Oh but today I have been having a serious case of the grumps. And so I went to see the new Sherlock Holmes movie and sat in the dark and just enjoyed some entertainment and Robert and Jude and a little bit of Rachel (she wasn't around much this go round) and tried ever so hard to forget about my bad mood. And can I tell you that I love they way they do the action sequences in these movies? The slow motion, speeding up and slowing back down? It's different. I'm not a filmographer. I don't know much about the art, but I am almost certain that someone would probably point out that other, better film makers had done the same thing before Guy Ritchie came along, but I am not one of those people and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I actually think I might have to see it in the theater again, I liked it so much.
So that's what to do on a bad, grumpy, no good day. Go watch a movie and shut out the world.
