... and oh yes, the reading list update, or how I'm entertaining myself during my rest'n'recuperation.

firstly, [livejournal.com profile] rdcf and I had George Clooney night on Monday... rented Ocean's Eleven, which was a lot of fun, a very cool movie, reccommended.

Also rented O Brother, Where Art Thou?, which was a great movie, an absolute hoot. I was never a huge George Clooney fan before, but I have to say I very much like those two movies.

... onto the reading list. Finished The Dirt by Motley Crue. Fascinating book if you are/were into the metal scene or get off on any and all celebrity biographies... otherwise, you probably wouldn't like it. The Crue truly lived the metal excess scene, and the book doesn't pull any punches giving the blow-by-blow.

Now reading Gen X TV: The Brady Bunch to Melrose Place by Rob Owen, borrowed from Rox. it's basically a study of the TV shows that influenced our generation, written from more or less an academic standpoint. and a friend of myself and Rox is quoted in it. ;)

ok, I really need to get off this chair.

Perhaps you can tell me what happened in the all-important second-last five minutes of Ocean's eleven, when our satellite went out. Grrrr.

Hmmm...well, George Clooney's character had just slipped something into Julia Roberts' pocket, after the heist...and the next thing we saw, it was the end and they were together driving off in a car, I got the impression it was a little while later.

ok... here it goes, over-simplified... ;)

the heist went off successfully... it turned out that (shown through flashbacks) the crew dressed up as the SWAT team to move the money from the vault. they went their separate ways.

Clooney got busted at the casino (parole violation or something to that effect). Julia broke up with Andy Garcia because she had been watching a Garcia/Clooney confrontation on closed-circuit (courtesy the crew) and determined that Garcia was a bastard.

sooooo, at the end of the movie, Pitt and Julia pick Clooney up from jail and drive off into the sunset.

Ah...they pretended to be the cops! Cool. So the police never actually connected Clooney with the hiest, then? He was just in jail for parole violation.
