The other night, my wife and I finally had a chance to see the new movie, Lincoln. We had been waiting for a couple of years after learning that it was being made.
If you're ever thinking to yourself, "when the hell are these theaters going to show a movie worth watching?!", look up Daniel Day-Lewis on Wikipedia. It may be a while before his next film but the man has never been in a bad one. And his acting is phenomenal.
More relevantly, the movie has a lot of great, old books in it. A bunch of those classic ones with the marbled paper covers and the leather spines and corners, and those all leather ones with the ties and buckles where they close. In just about every scene, they're in these dimly lit, smoky rooms with glasses of scotch, cigars, and these fantastic old journals. It's all very inspiring. Makes me want to grab my pipe and a beverage and make some of these books. I believe I will. If there is any interest, please be sure to let me know via simplebindbooks@gmail.com.
