1. Le Petit Soldat: Hilarious in light of my colleague’s recent remarks on Jean Luc Godard, but it must be pointed out that I share a Netflix queue with my husband, a pretentious film scholar, and that thus our queue is somewhat of a “mixed bag.” In terms of its being a mixture of films that are not boring, and Godard films. SNAP
2. Bored to Death, disc 2: I think this show is boring, as boring as Godard. Yet one feels one must keep pressing onward, for some reason. Why is that? I would still french Jason Schwartzmann, even after all these years. Dearest Schwartzmann, you’ll always be Max Fischer to me.
3. Will Ferrell: You’re Welcome, America
4. Fata Morgana: I don’t know what this is (see above re: husband)
5. American Ballet Theater in Swan Lake: better delete this
New 5. Blow Up: ANTONIONI!!!!! This one’s all me, because you KNOW my old ball n’ chain’s seen that shit!
However, we still have the last 3 episodes of Friday Night Lights to finish and mail back before any of these delights may grace our screen.
I’m just gonna put this out there, re: Jessica’s last entry, and say that she is NOT going to like the film “Scarface.” And that this newly-mutual loathing we shall soon share will make my upcoming essay about Brian de Palma all the sweeter, once I write it. Brian de Palma, you are such an ass!!!!!! THERE I SAID IT
I watched that Will Ferrell one like five times no joke
Season 2 of Bored to Death is better, I think. I like BTD in the same way I liked Northern Exposure when I was a kid. Like you say, something about it, just compels me to keep watching.
If you shaved an Ewok and split the result into human form it would be Galafanakis and Schwartzmann.
omg how dare you!!!
