Things I’ve Been Interacting With Lately
In two sentences or less:
The Notebook (film): Meh. Too much or not enough softcore (especially in the deleted scenes), I can’t tell.
Wuthering Heights (book): Sister Emily should have sold the story rights to Charlotte.
The Girl with the Pearl Earring (film): I can’t take seeing Cillian Murphy tragically wasted in another film this week; two was enough. Also, as a character note: I hope to she sold that shit.
Maus (book - graphic biography?): Wonderful - still not sure how I never read the original since Maus II has been a favorite of my bookshelf for years.
The Yiddish Policemen’s Union (book): Getting better. I know it’s a noir, but it shouldn’t take me 100 pages to care.
Buffy (Season Six, Disc 2 - ‘Life Serial’, ‘All the Way’, ‘Once More With Feeling’, ‘Tabula Rasa’) (tv): Maybe my favorite three episodes of Buffy ever. ‘All the Way’ would make it four if Dawn’s grisly murder had been a plot point.
‘Life Serial’ gets an additional two sentences, since Warren’s (Adam Busch) outburst during one of The Trio’s James Bond arguments still makes me laugh out loud anytime I hear it or think of it:
I mean, there’s a shot of, like, pigeons doing double takes when the gondola blasted by! Moonraker is inexcusable.
I think that’s honestly the best combination of writing and delivery I’ve ever seen.
Angel (Season Four) (tv): Kinda zzzzzzz. Narrative structure, much?
Herald Sun (newspaper): I actually had to read some of the HS for some research the other day - hands down the worst newspaper I’ve ever read. HS is inexcusable.
[Things I forgot! -Ed.]
Dr. Horrible’s Sing Along Blog (online video) - Awesomely wonderful. If I’d know there was only a short period of time to watch it for free, I would have done it a bunch more times.’
Possums (animals) - So cutie pie and so everywhere. I lure them over with the promise of food, but then get a little nervous and ride away.
