16 days till Halloween!

Since I'm all about Patrick Wilson right now, I'm going to include Insidious. I initially held off on seeing this because of the PG-13 rating, but my son went to see it in the theater and said he thought I would love it. Then come to find out it was written by Leigh Whannell (who also has a role in the movie) and directed by James Wan, the talent behind the Saw franchise? Well, that was all I needed to know and I was sold.

Despite it's PG-13 rating (or maybe because of it), it was actually quite scary at times. It didn't rely on gore or overt violence, but WAS tense, and made good use of score, loud noises, and suddenly-appearing creepy apparitions. And while I've said before that gore has its place, I do like being able to be scared without it.

Patrick Wilson has eluded me yet again!

If you've been following along, then you might notice that I have developed quite an attachment to A Gifted Man, due in no small part to a teensy-weensy crush on Patrick Wilson. You might remember me blogging about how I've not been able, even once, to watch this show on tv yet, due mainly to scheduling conflicts.

So earlier tonight (last night) I was home and I made plans to actually sit on my sofa, turn the tv on at the designated time, and watch the show at its regularly scheduled time.

Well? That didn't happen. Apparently I mistook the time of broadcast as 9/8 CST instead of 8/7 CST. So I missed it AGAIN tonight. Sigh....why must Patrick Wilson (and CBS) do this to me? But then I thought No problem. I'll just watch it online like I've done since the show debuted. And I tried. I loaded the video at CBS's website, only to have it constantly freeze.

Not funny, Patrick Wilson.

Not funny, CBS.

This is like the EXACT OPPOSITE of Josh Hartnett stalking me.

I shall try again after work tonight to watch the show online. But just so you know, Patrick Wilson (and CBS): even though I am a very forgiving person and am totally willing to overlook you ignoring me, our relationship cannot continue like this!
