The theater company in Minneapolis that I interned at - and fell in love with - announced earlier this year that they were disbanding and selling their theater space. This makes me very sad - first, of course, because I had always hoped I could get an acting internship there some day. Or perhaps move to Minneapolis in hopes of working there. Or ( Read more... )

What a sweet movie. (and I mean that in the traditional sense not the current slang version of 'sweet')

Though I could have done 150% without crazy Sun-talking-God-Freak-Hollywood-Thriller guy and, had his time been spent on developing themes instead, it would have been really beautiful.

So apparently the recurring motifs in Richard Kelly's movies are time travel, the end of the world, saviors, and agents of inter-dimensional phenomena getting shot in the left eye ( Read more... )

These are the top 106 books most often marked as "unread" by LibraryThing’s users. As in, they sit on the shelf to make you look smart or well-rounded. Bold the ones you've read, and italicize the ones you own but have not read.
