so damn busy. and exhausted. even having fun is tiring me out lately. i think i must needs spend a healthy amount of time this weekend doing very very little. by way of recuperation. and hopefully catch that lost in translation movie, cause bill murray is a genius and that young ms. scarlett is a fine young thing. talented, i mean. used sparingly in man who wasn’t there and still i somehow loved her in that part. that’s how you know.

oh, i have reviewed very few movies because i haven’t watched enough lately. i’m feeling the onset of what i knew would be inevitable: the netflix guilt. i pay by the month, what if i don’t watch enough this month! the incremental cost will go up to 3 or 4 or 5 instead of 2! holy fuck i better get working!

but here’s a half-assed review for you:

american splendor – 3 stars

i’ve been meaning to see this for weeks cause i have friends that said it was really good. guess what? it was really good. and i’ve been on a comic kick lately. the right ingredients made it enjoyable and if you feel any similar affinites i bet you’d like it too. toby is a riot though. i wish they had white castle here in california.

beforehand we saw a trailer for elephant. that kind of disgusted me. how hard is it to make a shocking and chilling tale of a high school shooting when it’s based on an actually true, very shocking and chilling reality? it seems like a cheap way to be poignant to me. perhaps i should see it and find out.
