I rented and watched today the best effin' movie I have seen in a long time: Alice Wu's Saving Face. I admit I may be biased, but it was exactly what I needed to see right now. Not only is it a great film in and of itself, but it also deals with themes that I'm finding particularly relevant, being in the process of coming out to my family. The story had both tragedy and comedy without once going over to the unbelievable and there was a great combination of optimism and respect for human imperfection running through the movie hand in hand. I loved this film a lot (unlike Kissing Jessica Stein, which, despite superficial similarities, left me with heartburn) and I'm considering renting it out for a second time to give to my parents for watching.
And that song that plays in the beginning and at the end of the movie, the one that sounds like a Latin rhythm or a jazz gig; I'm not sure what it is as I suck at recognising genres (damn, I could use my ex-boyfriend now; he was like the dictionary of music) -- I love it, have no idea what it is called, and am very frustrated by this fact.
Tuning out. Hopefully will be found either writing fic or sleeping in the immediate future, but is frightfully likely that will end up playing Minesweep instead.
