Normally I’m opposed to posts about the weather, but today in Brooklyn is cause for rejoicing. It’s sunny, in the 60s, with a light breeze. That’s the spring weather I’ve been looking for. I’ve been told by native northeastern that spring around here does not start in March. Today, though, I can pretend.
We watched “Millions” last night (directed by Danny Boyle). Two kids stumble into the possession of a lot of money right before the changeover from pounds to euros. One of them is obsessed with saints, and has lots of conversations with them. The other is prodigiously money savvy. The movie would’ve been a screwball comedy full of absurd characters and groin-crunch humor if it’d been made in Hollywood. As it was it was an interesting, if rather strange movie that made the sleepy me say “huh?” several times. I haven’t been able to decide whether or not I would recommend it. It’s not in the class that I feel was a waste of time, but I don’t feel particularly enlightened, challenged or changed from it.
