Glad to hear it. Sorry she can't be here for it. Of course, she'll always be the cutest little masochist in the leather store to me.

Art Crawl!!!
Did I mention that I saw the Waitress promo on HGTV the other night?
It was excellent to see it on tv.

Reading the reviews of WAITRESS keeps making me tear up because I can't help but wonder what the hell went down to cause what happened to AS, and I get to a certain point and just can't understand. What a fucking waste.

I've read are the allusions to the director's previous film Intacto. Has anyone seen it?
I have, and loved it. Very weird and moody piece, and it built slowly. The only thing wrong with it was that Max Von Sydow was underused.

I think Freddy Quimby should walk out of here a free hotel
Oh, goody. I'll hunt for it then.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Oh yeah, Intacto was a good little movie.

I'm looking forward to Waitress, whenever it comes my way.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
I just got back from seeing "The Invisible," and I was surprised and impressed by how quietly and slowly the story unfolded. With the high concept of "a boy must find his body before time runs out," I might have expected more of a thriller, but the pace of this was almost sedate. One other thing that was notable is that the whole "ghost" concept was handled by simply resetting props - if Nick closed a door or broke a glass, in the next shot, you would see that the door was still open or that the glass was still intact. Very simple, and yet very unsettling. There were a few eye-rolly moments and one fairly important concept that was pulled out of absolutely nowhere, but all in all, a very good movie.
Plus, Callum Keith Rennie in a nice-sized role, which was very much to the good.

I just walked out of The Ex. That's an hour of my life that I'll never get back. Or, possibly, several of the most painfully unentertaining weeks of my life.
Was this thing intended to be a comedy? That's how it's billed, and it stars a number of gifted comedic actors. Who never, ever do anything that's even slightly funny.
The next couple episodes of Scrubs better be side-splittingly funny—Zach Braff owes me some laughter.
