i've just finished watching the weatherman, pictured above and it makes for a good, light but not fluffy weekend movie.
it features the life of a weatherman who doesn't have a really good life. estranged wife, screwed up children, dying dad whose shadow he's always living in, having fast food thrown at him by random assholes etc.
the movie touched me despite not knowing anything about estrangement, kids [choy!] and my dad is well and alive but because it is so simple and gimmick-free and very human as well, it made me laugh and feel sad at the weatherman's predicaments
some quotes from the movie, both of which are from the weatherman's dad [the always excellent christopher walken] to his son, nic cage.
'what is this sucking and chucking rocks? what is this sucking and chucking and jacking and fucking-up?'
'this shit life, we must chuck some things. We must chuck them from our shit life.'
