Bad Movies in the Movie Marathon Serve a Purpose

And that purpose is: to give me a chance to update my blog. I don't think it's just my lack of attention span leading me to say that Bad Lieutenant is a really bad movie. For reasons I don't care to explore just right now. Not just because Harvey Keitel had a terrible, completely awkward nude scene -- although that certainly didn't help.

Outside of this one, all the other movies have been really good. I think there were a few too many dramas early on and Lars and the Real Girl suffered as a result. Otherwise, everyone seems to like what's been playing.

Overall wakefulness: high. Drunkeness: moderate. If we can maintain those levels, or at worst swap them, we're gonna coast on through to 10am.

“Barry,” my cousin Mike said, “I think it’s time.” It was clear that my brother didn’t feel the same way, but he only shrugged, which Mike took as agreement. “Dave,” he said, giving the words as much gravity as he could muster, “Go get the dictionary.” I was nine years old, and a tag-along. I’d walked in on my brother telling a story about how—during school that morning—a girl he knew got her period in the middle of French class. And I laughed like the dickens. And then they called me on it. After I’d lugged the dictionary down from the spare room, Mike told me to look up the word period and read out the definition. “The end of a cycle, a series of events, or a single action?” “Keep going,” he said. “The full pause with which a sentence closes?” “Not that.” “An interval of geologic—“ “Gimme that!” He yanked the book towards him, read down the page, and pointed me towards the definition he’d found. Menstruation: the monthly discharge of blood from the uterus of nonpregnant women from pu...
