a friend of mine just hung himself in a public park today. a few mutual friends/acquaintances of ours had been talking for months that it was only a matter of time before he offed himself. we couldn't think of any happy ending, so how could he? gretchen just seems to have a general malaise, but being a depressive…

the stanhope louie is one of my favorite episodes of any tv show ever, yet i still laughed numerous times. this episode was great, but grounded. had to laugh at jimmys general dickishness, obliviousness, and pompousness on display.

wow! just used macreedy's "top of your voice" earlier today. touche, internet.

watching shoah, at home be you, straight through, was still one of the best film viewing experiences of my life. satantango was a little tougher mentally, but a great experience too.

did the reviewer not watch the last 2 minutes? no comment? and the synopsis of Matt and John's confrontations reminded me of old ebert reviews where it was apparent he either skipped/forgot the film and heard of it second hand.

Goddammit. Without Zwigoff, this just shouldn't be done. Seeing it opening night with my dad, I was 19, is one of the top 10 screenings of my life.

I would assume he's talking about David Mamet's "House of Games."

one of my all-time favorite movies. one of the great bittersweet endings, but the goddamn criminal error of not showing the epilogue cards for the 4 female lead characters…cut because running time? lucas could have righted that wrong instead of playing crayola with his space opera.

ralph fiennes had been in a tie for best screen actor on planet with ps hoffman until the black dragon awoke. currently has lead over guy pearce as most consistent actor in quality films, but this site hates 'the proposition.' so who the hell knows? and yeah, m gustave was career high.
