I couldn't sleep last night thanks to the remaining sense of total despair. Having bad sad hopeless endings should be illegal. |
They're far too rare in the states. I rent lots of strange foreign movies. |

No there's some real treasures sitting there with subtitles on them. "My Life As A Dog" was the first foreign film I saw and it changed the way I looked at movies forever more. "Life is Beautiful" is probably my all-time favourite, though I really hate using the word "favourite" to describe anything since it can change so often. As soon as I just nominated "Life", I started thinking about "Babette's Feast" and "Cinema Paradiso". I'm seeing "Chocolat" next week, so that should be interesting. Not that it's particularly foreign, but I just wanted to show how cultured I really am. "Breaker Morrant" was good for it's time. We've really done well with satire too, check out "Strictly Ballroom" if you like your comedy espresso-coloured. And of course, "Muriel's Wedding" for the ABBA songs alone. There's also this little-known documentary called "Canetoads", which had me nostril-spewing lemonade, but my taste in comedy tends towards the disturbed. Wasn't "Pelle" from Denmark? It was pretty fabulosi anyways. |

Dave and I went on one of our first dates to see Romper Stomper. That should tell you something right there about our relationship. |

i was thinking of A Boy and His Dog...that hilarious campy Don Johnson flick with his talking dog friend. |
"A Boy and his Dog"----there's a great, sick masterpiece...killer satire...great, twisted ending. (Hey----Blood---pass the Uvula...) |

It's based on the book of the same name, written by Rick Moody. Rick Moody came to my writing class a few years ago. He was a neat man, but he tried too hard to look like Andy Warhol. I found that distracting. I remember leaving that class and going home and writing a whole short story in one sitting. He *was* pretty inspiring, now that I think about it. Read his books. |
