back to the saddle…

Okay….

So not a lot of movie watching this week but there is some stuff to report…

We watched, just out of the blue, Little Dieter Needs to Fly. I liked it quite a bit. It seemed so much a “Herzog” documentary. About one minute into hearing this guy talk, you think, oh yeah, this guy is perfect for Herzog. Little Dieter is a very interesting fellow, the life story he relates and the way he relates it are fascinating and overwhelming, one of those “this guy must be kidding” kind of life stories. Dieter’s is soo engaging, and his story is soo engaging, that Herzog doesn’t have to pipe in to save the film like he does in Grizzly man, Dieter is really quite engaging himself. I would quite recommended it. Sure, it’s no My Best Fiend, but I found it to be a much stronger subject than Grizzly man or The White Diamond was.

More watching, we finished this sixth season of the Sopranos. Of course,I love the Sopranos… But I must admit that some seasons don’t really thrill me. In fact, it’s really only the 1st and third that I really like… I must say that this was the dullest season yet. Man. It barely dragged me in at all, and it just left me as the lone guy on the hill in backing up Phil. I just can’t help it, I like the old-school guys… Carmella has turned out to be such a waste. Sad, since she was finally moving in the right direction at the end of season 5… No more… It makes me miss her “blood money” episode.

So in more things, we just spent 2 days in a yurt at Nehalem Bay State Park! I’m not going to post any pictures here, because I’ve had enough people ask me to report back to them that I’ll give the trip it’s own little page here… The Yurt!
