Movie Night

Last Saturday, as I blogged about a week ago, was our anniversary. Our gift to each other was our time, and we spent the day touring old houses, as I mentioned. But we decided we really needed a tangible thing to celebrate. (Besides, our parents had given us money to spend, so why not?) I reminded Tim that I had gotten him a book for our anniversary. He said I had never presented it to him, so it didn't really count. I said that his discovery of it too early meant I didn't need to "give" it to him. But oh well--we went out shopping.

We headed to Best Buy. It was a cool, rainy night--perfect for movie viewing. We decided to splurge and buy the cheapest DVD player/recorder that they had. Then we even bought some DVDs to bring home.

Last night was watched "The Gods Must Be Crazy." I guess this movie is something of a classic--it came out in 1980, filmed in South Africa--about a bush man who discovers a Coke bottle that comes from the sky (from the gods, he assumes), but how that bottle causes disharmony in the tribe because everyone seems to want to use it and there is only one bottle. So, he ventures out to throw the bottle away at the end of the world. The adventures along the way are really amusing--even though a lot of it is slapstick humor.

It was fun to spend the evening doing something we rarely do--but perhaps will do more often now that the kids are older and not home as much. It was a nice way to unwind from the day--especially for Tim who's been so busy lately with work. If you're looking for a fun movie that's clean (well, the bushmen/women don't wear much clothing.......) and appeals to men and women, this one is it. There are parts I and II--can't wait to see the sequel! (The DVD came with the pair.)

Till next time,
