October 8th is Officially Mark Ruffalo Day

I've decided that Wednesday was Mark Ruffalo day. The following events happened that day, randomly and independently:

1. Alissa reminded me that in her high school alumni record it says she is married to Mark Ruffalo. Her submission, clearly.

2. I came home and took Time Out out of the mailbox: Mark Ruffalo is on the cover!

3. Maggie and I were planning on seeing a movie. Due to best showtimes, we were gonna see How To Lose Friends & Alienate People, but due to her getting home later from work than planned, Blindness was all we could see at the chosen theatre with remaining showtimes. Two hours of Mark Ruffalo!

Thinking about item 1 and item 3 now together prompted me to ask Alissa if she had seen Blindness:
me: have you seen blindness?
sorry, i must be crazy, you probably went to the premiere with the hubby
Alissa: obvi my hubby and i went to the premiere

G-chat makes it look like I said that first, but we said that at the same time, and that is why Alissa and I are friends.

On a more serious note, Blindness was good. It reminded me of 28 Days Later at times, but was a much better film and story. Also, it had some Lord of the Flies themes going on. I know, so many things are compared to Lord of the Flies, but that's because it's the best example of how different types of people handle power and order when it's free for the taking.

Also, this film made me realize that if Lindsay Lohan ages naturally and remains blond, she will grow to look a lot like Julianne Moore.

The theatre where we saw Blindness didn't have mirrors in the bathroom! It was an interesting social experiment to notice that right before seeing a movie in which almost no one can see anything. I don't really know what the question of the experiment would be, but I bet there were those who didn't notice the lack of mirror and those who did, like me.
