I sit here, shivering and feeling kinda sick, and cold, and it's just. . .lack. I want to watch a movie about someone who is also sick and cold and lacking, because movies aren't real, they're beautiful and tragic and even in death everyone's hair is perfect and even in anger everyone's words are scripted and there is no error, there is no extra, really, because every single element is necessary to convey the whole point, even if there is no point, every moment builds sometimes to this phenomenal lack of point and we wonder why that was made into a movie at all and the reason that it bothers us is because it is like life. In movies the line "I took the Xanax and the Ritalin together. It had never occured to me.*" doesn't convey an urgent need for a stomach pump, it's something glorious and almost noble, forcing the gates of death in one's own time.

Don't mind me, it just hit me as odd.
