Re: The Weatherman
ahhh right, yeah i hear you on that. I think it might be because in most similar cases we always see the main dude make some much more major change before his life gets better at the end. with this, it seemed like he didn't do much.. ok he started carrying the bow around or whatever but still, he didn't turn down the job to stay with his family and be a better man or anything like that, so it's unexpected.

that reminds me of a really great movie I just saw (Thank You For Smoking) where the main character goes through that same downturn but doesn't change AT ALL. he doesn't give anything up, he doesn't become a better person, he doesn't apologize for being a dick or anything... and yet it's still sort of that kind of movie.... so definitely catch it as soon as you can.
