Today is errand day

Whereupon all the random things I've let slide the last few weeks gets done.

Such as laundry. And grading. And reading about the PACT*

Right now I'm pondering a movie in the evening. Should it be...

Pan's Labrynth (PA Square, 10:05) - everyone's like omg its so deep/awesome/appreciating it shows your sophistication, which sounds cool, but also makes me a bit wary.
The Namesake (PA Square, 10:30) - which looks like a cute ethnic-finding-roots thing. It will be full of 1.5-gen angst and redemption and I will cry even though I will be able to predict every element of the movie
The Lives of Others (Guild, 8:30) - looks to be a cute movie with spying and a cute couple. Oh, got best foreign film or something?

Currently leaning towards fun German spies. Anyone in the PA area want to come with?

The PACT website calls it a "PACT Teacher Performance Assessment", which I find slightly silly, since PACT stands for Performance Assessment for California Teachers. It's like saying "ATM Automatic Machine"

Pan's Labyrinth is very, very good. It is also terrifying. Like, I don't normally get scared at movies. Not only did the supernatural stuff in Pan's Labyrinth scare me, it is far from the scariest thing in the movie.

I'd go if you have someone to decompress with afterwards.

It's also really, really sad. You will be scared, and then cry.

The Lives of Others is chill and awesome and awesome. I absolutely loved it.

'Course I'm a germanophile, so that may skew my perception.

Pan's Labyrinth was not deep/sophisticated so much as full of beautiful scenes. Definitely worth your time, but don't treat it like an academic endeavor.
