You say "stop-motion," and I'm there. But then you say "Wes Anderson."

I like Wes Anderson, but the dude needs to learn about the concept of editing.

See I love Wes Anderson and I really love stop motion, I just get worried since he has no experience in animation and also when I hear that he directed the movie from a different country.

But it is reassuring that you dug it. I'm sure I'm worrying for nothing.

I mean what's the worst that could happen.  So you'll miss the TOUAMBies to see a crappy movie.  It's not the end of the world. :P

this one's only 80 minutes long, including credits. it's edited. also, the tomatometer gave it 92%, but i think that's too high.

it's not a kids' movie. i think it's meant to be a general-market film, with stuff for everybody, but to be honest, the little girl down the row only laughed a couple times. there's plenty in there for adults, but to be honest, i only laughed out loud a few times. it's a pleasant, gentle film with a fair story and it's beautiful.

trout, i liked it. it's a wes anderson film, and no denying it. i haven't read the book but i can guarantee that most of the script isn't Dahl's words.
Haven't seen it yet, but plan to. I read the book when I first heard this was happening (like three years ago...ugh) and I have to assume that it doesn't follow the book too closely, as it would probably end up being only about 45 minutes long if it did.

All in all, though, if I do happen to make it out to a movie in the next week or two, it'll almost certainly be The Road. Been waiting a long-ass time for that and I hear it's pretty true to the novel. If that's true, there's virtually no way that it could be anything less than amazing.

A scam was going around here in Minnesota this past summer where elderly ladies were being targeted by young men.  The men were calling random old-lady-sounding names and saying, "Grandma, I'm stuck in jail in Canada, can you send money?"  Then poor Grandma would be like, "Mike?  Mike, is that you?"  And the guy would be like, "Yeah, it's me, Grandma, it's Mike.  I got in trouble here in Canada, and I can't get out of jail unless you wire $1000 to bail me out."  You would not believe the numbers of elderly women who were taken by these horrible people. 

thats been happening here in PA a lot, recently.

Accidentally had a book I need to read by tomorrow mailed to my old apartment. Went over there, because UPS said they had delivered it and it had been signed for by someone named "Anthony." No one there by that name.
Drove an hour in horrible traffic to buy the book at a Borders, the only place I could find it. Right when I got there I got an email from the mail room at my school saying "we got a package for you." I needed the book anyway, so I bought it for a second time, and drove an hour back.
10$ book + 20$ next-day shipping + 15$ buying it again... I guess I will return the other copy when I get it tomorrow?

I guess the good news is that since I was already spending 20$ on shipping I bought a used copy of this book I like that I want my girlfriend to read.

oh dang, that is true.

in other news, this book is really crappy. Kind of interesting to read, in a "this guy fucks a lot" kind of way.

Funny, that's not what I took away from The Old Man and The Sea.
