Saint Genevieve

I walked out of "Solaris" (the original one, not the one with George Clooney). I know Tarkovsky is supposed to be some kind of genius, but I kept waiting for something to happen and it never did, so I took off.

I also couldn't tolerate "Breaking the Waves" and watching Emily Watson shrieking and crying through the whole thing. My friends told me I missed out by walking out on it, but whatever.

I was vaguely disappointed to discover that the dude who plays Kensei isn't actually British.

Get well soon, Lou!

If the Haitian were to be near West while he was flying, would he drop like a rock? Please?

Hopefully West would fall on top of Molly Walker, and kill both of them.

Once again Tweedling proves that people in Texas have no redeeming value.

I love the New Yorker and it's writers to pieces but I cannot stand Sasha Frere Jones. I found this piece to be even more annoying than his usual output.

Anyone who claims that artistic quality is entirely based on one factor, is a douchebag.

I believe I shall call this "St. G's Law."

I also don't find much going on over in the UK, but in the US I think it's been a great year for music.

There hasn't been anything going on in the UK in many years, IMO.

I haven't been keeping up on much new music lately, but Spoon, Okkervil River, and Feist have put out great albums this year.

On the topic of overrated bands/records who else thinks Sleater-Kinney is terribly overrated? (please don't hate me now VC)

Man, that bird's got more rhythm than a lot of humans...

OMG - I'm a MAN.

 

Don't tell my husband,

Laura

Only men listen to good music - didn't you know?

Paul McCartney

That was disgusting.

Yeah, I had to hide my eyes during that scene.

I'm convinced that the flying kid is actually Sylar (who can "fly" using his telekinesis skillz).

I hate everything.

Boy, Andy's not looking so good lately, is he?

Thanks, everyone. I'm in Portland visiting my friends right now, and in about twelve hours I hope to be drunk.

Happy belated birthday to one of my favorite VCers!

Murphy's law.

Godwin's law.

Happy birthday!!!!

Happy birthday, Ms. Y!

they don't make videos, because they're afraid they'll turn out like this one:

 

Shot in the Arm

I like that the category is "comedy."

Ugh, I'd really like a moratorium on quirky indie movies about geeky misfit boys in high school.

Good song, though.

I miss living on the same coast as Maudie.

The drone.
