"Treaty".

Choice
So, let a crazy homicidal man go free or go without Chinese food? I actually had to think about that for a minute.

Junk Mail- That aspect comes in a lot clearer during the second reading as well. Particularly Eva's own contempt for some of her son's victims. (Not that she wanted them dead or anything.) I find that darkly hysterical. Kevin is more like her than she knows.

Also, I felt the same way about Kevin the fist time I read it (even though the ending had me crying like a baby) but I couldn't get it out of my head so I read it again. If you can stomach it, I think it's worth a second pass. I don't know exactly how to put it but it's more humane? Warmer? I don't know, but it's

It just debuted at Cannes. It didn't win any awards but I think it got pretty okay reviews.

Sounds like a plan.

Christ. The AI debate again. I'll be at the bar.

Before and After
I haven't seen the film, but the novel Before and After by Rosellen Brown is a worthy addition to number 5. It's not nearly as good as We Need to Talk About Kevin, but it's haunting none the less.

The Good Son
Just wanted to point out that screenplay for The Good Son was written by Ian McEwan. It's a fact that I like to bring up as much as possible because it's fucking insane.

Gah
It's been a while since I've seen that Grease clip. "Grease Lightning" is a filthy, filthy song.
And I would listen to the Grease soundtrack non-stop when was like, 2. What the hell was wrong with my parents?

"A course in how to open an umbrella"
I remember liking this one because it had a ton of Grant College jokes. I was a sucker for Grant College jokes.

Just a head up
Producer's cut of Lil' Sebastian up on Hulu.

"OreGANo? What the hell?"

I loved the "google voice" thing they did in the first ep and one they did I think in Feb. And the "drunk dial from an ex-boyfriend" Christmas thing was pretty good too. Otherwise I'm not big on the live sketches. The great undiscovered project is always brilliant though.

Both are acceptable.

Bad- That's was a weirdly sublime little story you made up there. I laughed for about a minute at that one.

So…
No one is going to make a "Madame Chao's: the sexiest Chinese restaurant in town" joke? Really?

Morton Salt is the reason I don't have a goiter. Thanks Morton Salt!

I love that "giant" Scott was maybe a foot taller.

I pictured Phillip Seymour Hoffman, but Reilly would be good too.
