Life is about discovery. Went to see "Capote" with Superman last night. Neither of us had to work today so we got something to eat and then slipped over to the theater to watch the movie. We had Theater 3 to ourselves. Sort of sad, but kind of cool at the same time.
It was a slow moving character study of Truman Capote's methodical plod toward writing "In Cold Blood". I vaguely remember reading that book at some point during my school years and I had no idea that Capote was so close to the case. I figured he had learned about the story from the paper and wrote a hybrid fiction/non-fiction account of the killings. It turned out he helped get them better lawyers, interviewed them (quite extensively) and even took pictures with them. I had no idea that was the case.
I also never realized that he never wrote another complete work. I can't say that I really followed Truman Capote's life and times, but...
Side note: I'm sitting here watching Women's Olympic Curling. I understand that the woman who has thrown her stone wants to get the best shot by using the sweepers but why does she have to yell at the top of her lungs "HAAAAAARRRRRRRRDDDDDD!!!!!!!!" over and over when they're sweeping as fast as they can? I mean, she lets the stone slide down the sheet of ice and -- immediately -- she's yelling, over and over, "HAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRDDDDDDD!!!!!" and "NNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!" and "YYYYEEEEEEEESSSSSSSS!!!!!" as loud as she can. It's very distracting.
I watched "Grey's Anatomy" and discovered that life is short. I had taped it because I was watching Capote while the episode was running. What...? You have a problem with 'discovered'? Yes, I discovered that life is short. You'll see what I mean.
