The second one did, Perkins--thanks!

I'm trying to watch American History X and I'm not sure I can make it all the way through. It's making me too anxious. Plus Ed Norton creeps me out since The Illusionist. And I keep thinking of what Ed Furlong looked like in CSI: NY, and that's kinda disturbing too.

that movie kind of scarred me

No worries, msbelle. I was at the movies and missed her reply. Part of the problem is that I have to do some stuff for our class reunion so all these idiots keep friending me on Facebook. I grew up in a very conservative, religious town and I just don't think these people remember what I was like. So they friend me, read something on my status and feel they have to opine.

I'm taking Allyson's advice and thinning the herd. I have a few conservatives as friends and I actually enjoy the give and take. We have respectful differences of opinions but I can't tolerate any of that Fox News/Rush Limbaugh/Sean Hannity "Liberals don't like anyone who has a difference of opinion" crap. Needless to say, I'm going to be a pariah at the reunion this summer.

Fuck 'em. The entire narrow minded lot of them.

There are entire portions I won't look at the screen for, and one I muted proactively. I'm not sure I can make the whole way through it. But I need something to occupy my time, and I'm not feeling the other two Netflix movies either.

if you're more than halfway through I think you're past the worst of it

I just shielded myself from the really awful scene I knew was coming, but even so I think I experienced too much of it. But the rhetoric makes my brain hurty.

it's the particular scene of violence I couldn't take. And I think it's repeated.

ita, I agree. I watched it because I was fascinated by it, though. I think Norton did a good job. Plus I wanted to see how he did at the editing. There was a huge deal with him getting his hands on that--I can't remember if it was with the director.

I just saw Taken with Liam Neeson. It's very non thinky and visceral. The fight scenes were pretty Bournesque.

I'm having an email conversation with someone about which one is Bert and which one is Ernie.

I feel really non-thinky.

I gave up. I'm watching a concert for peace. Annie Lennox, John Legend, and Lennie Kravitz so far. I feel much better. Cleaner. Some art I don't need/can't handle.

What is there to talk about who's Ernie and who's Bert? I mean, who doesn't know? That can write English, I mean.
