10/04/2002 Entry: "At Work Really Late Tonight."

So someone was syncing a branch I was working on and asked if I'd be around for a while, and I said no, that I was going to go see Red Dragon, and that I'd stop by and see if there were any merge conflicts after the movie. Can you guess where this is going ?

Well the movie was OK. Mr Norton fails to live up to my rather high expectations, but the rest of the cast is OK, and the movie actually sticks a little more closely to the book this time, which is a welcome change. The 1.5 seconds of Mr D. popping the teeth in just doesn't cut it in Manhunter. The Blind Girl is better this time around as well. On the other hand Red Dragon loses a lot of the procedural edge that was in Manhunter, and there's just way, way, way too much Anthony Hopkins. And I kept waiting for Mr Norton to say something like "This is Lector's enflamed colon".

But I digress. This is not a movie review This is about me being at work at 11:00 PM. So anyway the movie ends, I hop back to the office since the theatre is just a block away, and wouldn't you know it, there were a bunch of conflicts. Damn. But of course you knew it. Why else would I be blubbering on so. So now I'm fixing them, late on a Friday night. Boo hoo hoo for me. Sometimes it is a huge pain when more than half the people you work with live in California....
