Movie review -- In Good Company
In Good Company's one of the nicest shows I've watched in a long time. I mean, it's just nice. It's funny, sweet, heartfelt, nice. I don't remember why I didn't catch it before; must've been really busy with something to miss a Dennis Quaid movie.
Anyone else thought that it was funny how Quaid's last name in the show's Foreman? You know, because Topher Grace in That 70's Show... okay, nevermind.
Anyway, I thought the characters came together really nicely. Perhaps what touched me the most was the father-daughter relationship being played out; I've had one too many struggles with my dad, and we still disagree a lot. I've pretty much given up on telling him not to worry about us, and to let us make our own decisions -- it's not like he's going to listen.
But despite our differences, my dad has always been my hero; probably no one else on this earth will love me as deeply and as completely.

Fathers' Day is coming up next Sunday.
I'm all out. You name it, we've done it. Ties, shirts, handmade bookmarks, and even this key chain thingy which we recorded our voices into -- "Happy Fathers' Day, Daddy!"
I know he'll tell us not to get him anything, but since I made something for the mother, I can't not do anything for him.
Ideas? :)

I still don't think i can bring myself to say "I love you dad" to my father. I mean, I can't even bring myself to say that to my mom, what more my dad!
Sigh. I don't even remember when was the last time I gave a gift to my dad. Maybe guys just don't bother to make such an effort. (or so the stereotype goes, of couse)
I loved the show, but for obviously different reasons.. I must have been drooling at Scarlett Johannsen(?) all the while..
But more importantly, sometimes there few presents better than a nice long letter than you can keep for a long long time..
Raymond: Fathers' Day is always a good time to start, right? ;)
Woof!: Yes, Scarlett Johansson is a babe. And so young! :p I've written long letters to my dad before -- as has he to me -- but right now, nothing comes to mind that I haven't already said, so if I write anything it's just going to come off contrived. Ugh, this inspiration thing needs to strike more often -- or before Fathers' Day. :)
You are a very sweet daughter :)
Hmmm, i dont have ideas too. If i ask my dad what he wants, he will probably ask for a dozen packs of ciggies. That my dad will appreciate best. But NO.
My dad thinks that we can achieve world peace by eradicating smoking. ;)
I'm watching this in a few hours time. Scarlett fans, please go and watch Lost In Translation if you haven't seen it yet. :)
Enjoy. :)
