OK, I have been "doing" the Wii Fit for about three weeks now. I don't "get" it (like the yuppie scum in "Big" doesn't get skyscraper toys that fold into giant robot bugs). You weigh in, see, and then you do some half-assed balance tests than it calculates your Wii Fit age. Ok. Tonight I did the whole rigaramole. According to the Wii Fit, I have the health of a SIXTY-YEAR-OLD. Right. I am 36 and am about eleven pounds overweight right now. I am plenty sure that puts me in the twenty-percent percentile for fitness in the USA (and probably in the thirties for the world), I will continue to exercise with the Wii Fit, and, more importantly. will continue to eat good (which I have been, without falter or failure). But I will take its assesments with a rock-sized grain of salt. I know I am in better shape...
I did see The Wrestler. It was pretty great. Taut. Realistic. Sympathetic. I hope Mickey Rourke wins the Oscar for it, but even if he doesn't, this performance will get him high-profile work, If it is playing even close to you, I whole-heartedly recommend seeing it. Plus, Marissa Tomei is hot...and awesome.
