I am terrible about eavesdropping when I hear a movie mentioned. Overheard in midtown Manhattan yesterday between two co-workers.woman: Did you see The Blind Side? We rented it last night. Sandra Bullock was so good in it. Because of that accent.Puts what into perspective!?! Jesus. That super rich people have easier lives than poor people?
Honestly, I had a lump in my throat from the beginning to the very end.
man: [earnestly] It really puts things into perspective.
I wouldn't hate that movie half as much if it would leave me alone but people are still talking about it. For this I suppose we must blame the Academy slightly and Jesse James most of all.
