I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I used to mix it up with The Running Man.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I would watch a Logan's/Cannonball Run mashup. That sounds hugely entertaining!

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Now I have the mental image of Schwarzenegger beating the crap out of Laurence Olivier with a torn-off arm from the dentist's chair...

With opera playing in the background.

What's not to love?

So I saw the new Tarantino. I was underwhelmed. I enjoyed it just fine but somehow I expected to love it (or hate it) and so I guess I was disappointed in that I just don't see the passion for it either way.

And I did see it as a long-distance movie date which was pretty funny when they ended up at El Coyote, where I went on an early date with the Math Greek, though I think he was a bit creeped out by the fact they sat at his regular booth. Unsurprisingly, he was more moved overall by the nostalgia of the film than I was.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

I saw the Tarantino over the weekend as well. Aside from the last act, it's like a shambling hang-out movie, which I enjoyed in its own way. I thought DiCaprio was marvellous -- best I've seen him in a while. The scenes he had with his young costar while shooting the new western pilot were probably my favourite in the entire movie. Had more mixed feelings about Brad Pitt's character for various reasons I'm trying to untangle. There is no denying that he is in an EXCELLENT shape, especially for his age though.

The feet thing grossed me out, but mostly because they were dirty. Yuck. It was very in-your-face.

Cereal:

For those looking for good counter-programming to Tarantino, I can recommend The Farewell wholeheartedly. I think it's out in a handful of major cities and opening widely this weekend. Caught a preview of that last week and loved it a ton -- it's gentle and moving and also surprisingly funny, and based on the real life experience of the filmmaker, Lulu Wang, who initially told this story in an episode of This American Life.
