oy ...

so i made this huge, big deal (well, to myself i did) about taking today off from work so i could see strangers with candy and clerks 2. so i just got back a while ago from watching strangers with candy ... and is it blasphemy to say that sarah jessica parker and kristen johnston were the best things about the movie? maybe my expectations were too high? all i know is that i've already had enough disappointment for today, so i'm gonna hold off on watching clerks 2 until tomorrow. then i'll review both of them.

i will say this though (and maybe this was the cause of souring swc or maybe it just furthered it), that there was this older gent sitting several seats to my right. at first i thought it was nice that someone of an older generation (read: he was balding with gray hair and looked like he was in his late 50s or early 60s) could come to enjoy some good, absurd comedy. then he took his shoes off. and his socks. and he started picking at and scratching his sweaty feet. i could smell them. i could smell them throughout the whole movie. it was gross. and yeah, i could've moved, but by then the movie has already started, and i didn't want to be rude to the other people sitting around me; i mean, they had to endure the smell, too, and they didn't move. maybe i'm just too sensitive. oy.

and now i need a drink. clerks 2 and reviews sometime tomorrow.
