@achewood I once had the idea that, if only for a moment each night, everyone in the world was asleep at the same time. It made the world manageable.

Just saw Win Win .  It was worth seeing.  I was very impressed with the young actor playing the wrestler - Alex Shaffer - and stunned to learn this was his first acting role.  He out acts Paul Giamatti at some points.  The best thing about this movie is all the things it isn't:  it isn't sappy, it isn't blatant, it doesn't dwell needlessly, and it doesn't pander.  I went in knowing I was about to see a movie about a struggling family who fosters a troubled kid, with cynical expectations of what this movie was going to be.  I was surprised and pleased that they didn't go where I thought they would go with it.

I get free passes to movies sometimes.  I had three opportunities to see this and had a conflict everytime.  It looked good.

Finally saw Gone With the Wind tonight.  I get Clark Gabel's appeal now.  The second half could have really been tightened up though.  And, you know, the who idealized slavery situation is really meant for a time capsule.

Probably 25% of conversations between my wife and I consist of quotes from that movie.

I just saw Cave of Forgotten Dreams, not in 3D. I saw it in the same theater where a friend dragged me to see Jane Eyre a while ago, which was sheer torture, if I didn't mention this before. So it is hard for me to judge this movie accurately given the comparison - you can imagine how much better I would enjoy a movie with caves, animals, history and science, even if it was a little weird, than an incredibly boring made up story about nineteenth century people and their stupid feelings.

I remember seeing the trailer for that; it looked pretty interesting.

Wait. You saw a movie?

Saw Triplets of Belleville, Bus 174, Monsters, Long Hot Summer and While the City Sleeps. Monsters sucked, but the rest were good.

Isn't it nice to get things off your list?

Rewatching "The House of Yes" while waiting for my damn iOS update to restore so I can go to bed.

Man, Parker Posey is just succulent. Dang.

Penny Arcade mentioned "The Wild Hunt" the other day and I checked it out. It's... actually... very very good, despite being populated by cocks & loonies. And the direction is scarily assured. For a first effort, I found it almost impeccably done (reservations being mostly about the S  P  O  I  L  E  R----------------------------------------- graphic shit-nasty that comes at the end, you'll know when you see it. -------------------------------S  P  O  I  L  E  R)

The absurdity is veiled by the poetic charm with which the poet invests it.
