I am officially the last one standing. We're (I'm) watching Suspiria right now, which is occasionally ridiculous but mostly just really really terribly dull. Damn this stupid effing movie. Entertainment Weekly called it "one of the scariest movies of all time." Lies, lies, damn dirty lies. And everyone's asleep but me. Lucky buggers.

Outside of this one movie, everything else played very well. Bloodsport was eight kinds of awesome, Raising Arizona was weird and hilarious, Casablanca was dependable as always, Holes went over best of the lot, Grey Gardens was a head trip, The Warriors was outright wicked, Cube was as good as I remembered, and Hard Candy was castratetastic.

And now, I'm just waiting. I'm praying to all the gods--the real ones, the fakes one, and two or three I made up right now--that this movie is over soon, and that Sunshine is seven hundred times better.

And yet, during sunshine, you sawed more logs than the pioneers. :) I think our failure is a shared one. Killed by Italian horror and slow-moving science fiction with too much of areligious message.

Sorry, that should have said "During Sunshine", as in the movie.

Not the thing that's going to show us just how much snow fell last night.

I should add...

... that two people were instrumental in my joining Twitter. First, Isha . She sent out an article on it when the application was still brand new. (And I remember thinking, "Screw that noise. Like I need more online commitments.) Second was Rebecca . She joined up just a short while ago, claiming she hadn't met a bandwidth she didn't like . (And then she disappeared entirely from the internets .) It looked nice and pretty over there on her sidebar, and then I got a little jealous. The rest: history. And for those unobservant among you ( Jorge ), the Twitter feed is right there on my sidebar, replacing the old Radio 3 player that I loved, but that I think scared the bejezus out of a lot of people. Also, everyone should join Twitter. I'm needing some diversions , people.

Discuss Amongst Yourselves - January 30th, 2006

In case you don’t read my comments (and if not, you’re nuts cause that’s where all the good stuff is), Courtney has just declared herself movie illiterate. So, if you had to recommend five essential movies that everyone should see, what would they be? Let me stress: only five. For those of you with break-the-rules tendencies (like--I dunno--just picking a name out of the air... Jorge ?), your comment gets chucked out. Give’r.
