Back to work again! The weekend is over and it’s time to be productive. Last night Lisa and I watched that Johnny Cash movie. I had heard it was good and I was really looking forward to seeing it. Now don’t get me wrong, it wasn’t horrible, but it also wasn’t good. I kept hearing how it was such a wonderful love story. I am sorry but there is no such thing as a romantic love story when the lead character is a psychologically tortured-drug addict. The woman who played his first wife was portrayed as a horrific shrew. I found it very disturbing mainly because I would be a horrific shrew too if my husband took drugs, slept with groupies and carried on with his duet partner. She wasn’t the only one smeared. Apparently Elvis is the one that got Johnny Cash hooked on drugs! The fellow they had playing Elvis was so un-Elvis like! Tall, lanky and completely without sex appeal. And now we get to the singing. Leaf Phoenix sounded like a drunk hobo. Reese Witherspoon actually sounded too good to be June Carter. Years ago I downloaded a ton of Johnny Cash songs from Audiogalaxy. Some of my favorites were these weird love songs he sang with Bob Dylan. It was only recently that I found out that it wasn’t Bob Dylan dueting with Johnny Cash, it was June Carter! I think I will stick to watching The Coal Miner’s Daughter.
Next movie up on the NetFlix queue is Getaway with Steve McQueen.
