Productivity level: dangerously low

So today, after watching Much Ado About Nothing on Youtube while I ate breakfast, I typed up a little outline of all the things I need to do/deal with in RL right now. It was intimidating, to say the least. So just as I started tackling the smaller stuff (i.e. cleaning) my mom calls and asks if I want to go see Atonement. So I do. And then we stayed to see I Am Legend. And I got nothing done today. :/

As for the movies, I have mixed feelings. (No spoilers, kids.) Atonement was obviously well-made, and the settings were beautiful. The way they organized the story worked very well. But it was lacking something. Something to make it profound, I think. It's ending is anticlimatic, and they could have improve that. I'm not asking for rainbows and butterflies and everyone shoving flowers in their ears, just a fitting ending.

I Am Legend, on the other hand, was really good. The suspense was about as perfect as you can get, but the characters- well, character, really- was sensible, unlike most thriller characters which force you to yell obvious directions to them the whole movie. Also, Will Smith is a spectacular actor, and managed to be both funny and tragic, strong and merely human, all at once. The ending, which I had only heard bad things about, was surprisingly fitting, I found. It made sense, given the circumstances, and I didn't think it needed to be changed. A++

Here's hoping I don't have nightmares. :]

I haven't taken a Korean lesson in a week. :( But I can still count! :D
