A Bill Gates Date

On Friday [livejournal.com profile] animazed and I arranged to have a date on Sunday after brunch. Since he's in Hawaii and I'm here we decided to go to simultaneous showings of The Prestige in our different timezones. It was actually rather fun, a good second best to sitting in the same theater. Plus it was a good movie as well. I saw part of what was coming right away, but I thought it was too simple, that couldn't be the trick. But it didn't hurt my enjoyment of the movie at all because the movie didn't depend upon the trick. It was all about two obsessed men destroying each other. And the strange coolness that is Nicola Tesla as played by David Bowie.

We talked for a long while after the movie, not as much before. Richie enjoyed it as well as I did, though he seemed not to intuitively grasp what was happening with the big plot device as intuitively as I did. After a while it was time for me to go and drive home. I'm pretty hopeful that this whole long distance relationship thing will work out okay.
