Slowly Going Bald

"Look, we're gonna spend half the night driving around the Hills looking for this one party, and you're gonna say it sucks, and we're all gonna leave and we're gonna go look for this other party. But all the parties and all the bars, they all suck. I spend half the night talking to some girl who's looking around the room to see if there's someone who's more important she should be talking to, and it's like I'm supposed to be all happy 'cause she's wearing a backpack."

Run, Superman, run. That's a killer cloud behind you.

Wow, I didn't realize how awesome it was that you write for pajiba. Or that it rhymes with one of my more favorite words... fajita (when pronounced accordingly). Once again, you rock.

Hey, what are the three (ish) movies that came out in the last year that I need to see?

Oh, and sweet review.

Thanks, man. Good to see you back in the land of the living and the posting.

There's still a ways to go for 2005, and there are a lot of films being released this fall/winter that look good. But for 2005 so far, I'd say you should see:

Good Night, And Good Luck
A History of Violence
Hustle & Flow
Murderball
Serenity
Broken Flowers
The Constant Gardener

And while you're at it, throw "Dead Like Me" on the Netflix queue.

I am going to need to get into that netflix thing. I saw 2 for the money last night and it was much better than expected. Check it out and tell me what you think.

I shamelessly plugged your blog in my blog. I didn't think you'd mind, but I thought I'd let you know.

...a stone, a leaf, an unfound door; of a stone, a leaf, a door. And of all the forgotten faces....

O waste of loss, in the hot mazes, lost, among bright stars on this most weary unbright cinder, lost! Remembering speechlessly we seek the great forgotten language, the lost lane-end into heaven, a stone, a leaf, an unfound door. Where? When?

O lost, and by the wind grieved, ghost, come back again.

--Look Homeward, Angel

Conservatives are not necessarily stupid, but most stupid people are conservatives.

--John Stuart Mill

We have all read in scientific books, and indeed, in all romances, the story of the man who has forgotten his name. This man walks about the streets and can see and appreciate everything; only he cannot remember who he is. Well, every man is that man in the story. Every man has forgotten who he is. One may understand the cosmos, but never the ego; the self is more distant than any star. Thou shalt love the Lord thy God; but thou shalt not know thyself. We are all under the same mental calamity; we have all forgotten our names. We have all forgotten what we really are. All that we call common sense and rationality and practicality and positivism only means that for certain dead levels of our life we forget that we have forgotten. All that we call spirit and art and ecstasy only means that for one awful instant we remember that we forget.

--G.K. Chesterton

We were, for the briefest of moments, something greater than the sum of our uncertain parts; we were youth itself, in all its painful glory and sharp joy.

--August Van Zorn

There is a time in the lives of most writers when they are vulnerable, when the vivid dreams and ambitions of childhood seem to pale in the harsh sunlight of what we call the real world. In short, there's a time when things can go either way.

--Stephen King

Film lovers are sick people.

--Francois Truffaut
