As seen the other day at Sunrise Records:
A very bratty 11 or 12 year old boy creature, tow-headed and insolent beyond his (few) years who was shouting, "NO, MOM!! SALIVA!!!!" at his mum, who was asking the shopkeep (apparently incorrectly) for this unfortunately named band. "SALIVA!!!!!" Then he set off down the aisle of CDs, bashing his little sister, or pulling her hair or something while his mum called out, "You mean like spit?"
I left quickly, unsure whether to laugh or cringe at this spectacle.
In other cultural arenas, I'd highly recommend Michel Gondry's film "The Science of Sleep" which I saw last night and greatly enjoyed. It's quite charming, in a subtle sort of way, and actually not as confusing as the reviews had suggested.
