It only took an hour to get a good connection today. *sigh* I really need to sign up for DSL.

My brother-in-law (and my sister too) was horrified that I liked Punch-Drunk Love. He commented that I should watch Panic with William H. Macy. Since I had a coupon, I rented it today.

That’s a good movie. I liked it a lot. (Jared should give this one a try as well.) I recognized the woman who played Macy’s mother right away, but I couldn’t think of her name or where I knew her from. The closing credits brought that “ah ha!” moment when I saw her name - Barbara Bain. She was in Space 1999 back in the 70s, a show I loved.

My favorite scenes were of Macy with his son - such a cute kid. The best one:

SON: Dad, when can I get a guitar?

DAD: When you’ve mastered the harmonica.

SON: When can I get an electric guitar?

DAD: When you have your own house.

There’s some adult language and subject matter, but this is one I can recommend.
