Tootsie.

Tonight was a night I looked forward to all summer. After a half day of work and a nap, I headed back down town to take in Tootsie. It was the last night of the Chicago summer film festival, and there were about six thousand people there. We camped out with cheese, bread, chocolate covered almonds with sea salt (!!!), humus and veggies, and I brought the wine.

There could be no finer night. Tootsie has always been one of my favorite movies---Jessica Lange. Jessica Lange! Who knew she was from Minnesota? My heart, that's who.

I also biked about 25 miles today in four different rides. Wowza.

Tim and I are different.

Hey, guess what's being delivered on Saturday from Netflix!

1.The Golden Compass: Bonus Material (!!!!!!)
As a follow up to the movie Golden Compass, this package of "making of" films and galleries is rather astounding. The impressive scale of the props and costuming is worth seeing alone, plus there are massive galleries of concept art, character design notes, open casting footage for Lyra, footage of the metal workers and other artists actually making the artifacts, and a interactive explination of the meanings of the symbols on the golden compass.

2. Righteous Kill
Academy Award winners Robert De Niro and Al Pacino star in this taut thriller as a pair of New York City detectives tasked with investigating a rash of vigilante killings linked to a case years ago, suggesting they may have put an innocent man behind bars. John Leguizamo, Carla Gugino, Brian Dennehy, Donnie Wahlberg and rapper-turned-actor 50 Cent also star in this crime drama penned by Russel Gerwitz (Inside Man) and directed by Jon Avnet.

Take a STAB at who picked what.

(hint, I'm the nice one)
(TWIST! Tim's the sensitive one)
