I've been on a serious dvd binge lately. Last night I finally became a member of Scarecrow video, and I bought "Cure," a Silence of the Lambs-ish film by Kiyoshi Kurosawa, and Ju-On. Then today, I won Fukasaku's notorious "Battle Royale" on e-bay. Now, in front of all the world, I'm going to make a pledge to stop buying movies for at least a month, and allow my check-book to recuperate. Hold me to it. Seriously. Spy on me if you have to.
In other news, I started reading "Pale Fire," by Vladamir Nabakov, and have been surprisingly entertained. I would suggest it to anyone who is a fan of non-conventional fiction. The first half consists of a 999 line poem, and the remainder of the novel serves as the footnotes to the poem. Wierd.
