Always be a good boy

I was fortunate enough to get to see Walk the Line on Thanksgiving night. It was a great movie I thought and a great portrayal of Johnny Cash's life in music and in relationships. I think Phoenix was an excellent choice to play Cash and Witherspoon did a good job acting as June Carter, but I just couldn't get over that she just looked like herself and not ther person she was protraying. All in all it is an excellent film with one of the most epic marriage proposals in history.

I've been listening to Explosions in the Sky's "The Earth is not a Cold Dead Place" a ton lately. It's a pretty amazing record. I need to see those guys play live one day soon.

Yeah I hate to say it but the thing about Reese Witherspoon bothered me too. She acted well, but didn't look like June at all. Other than that-it was one of the best movies I've seen all year.

and for the heck of it, "...and not ther person she was portraying".

Thanks again for correcting my slip-ups. I really should proof my things, but I don't. I'm lazy.
