I just went to see
Thank You for Smoking. It was really good. It's the best kind of totally evil, make you feel sympathetic for the bad guy, kind of film. When you read personal ads and the person is like, “I'm totally open minded and open to new ideas and especially new experiences!!!” what this really means, is that you can take them to an Ethiopian restaurant without them trying to order a PB&J. What I wish it meant, is that you could take this person out to a movie about a really cunning tobacco lobbyist, who meanwhile is trying to be a good role-model for his son, and they won't make horrible faces at you in the dark. You should all see it, and we'll compare notes later.
Some other movies I want to see soon are:
- Hard Candy
- American Dreamz
- Some Italian or French thriller about blackmail that I can't remember the name of. I saw a review of it, but I can't remember the name at all now. Can anybody help? Probably not. Nobody else I know goes out of their way to watch foreign or independent films.
There was another one that I saw a preview for today, but I've lost it.
