Caveat: The Very Long Saturday

Dateline: Los Angeles

I'm at LAX. Not visiting, yet. Just passing through, waiting for my flight to Minneapolis in a little while. I'll come back to L.A. next week.

ImagesThat was a very long and somewhat unpleasant flight. I watched two movies as I wasn't really able to sleep. The first was one called Medianeras, a rather philosphical, internetty rom-com from Argentina – yes, you can find movies like that on trans-Pacific Korean Airlines flights, nowadays, I guess. I liked it. And then I saw John Carter, which I'd been curious to see but not curious to enough to go see it, when it came out. As an interpretation of Edgar Rice Burroughs' book, it was much better than I expected. Still shallow space-action movie – but that's all the original was meant to be.
