Thirty Two Short Films about Glenn Gould. Now THAT'S a film.

Also, a repeat viewing of Ghost World. it's great on it's own, but it's fun getting all the inside jokes (ie. Cheap Suit Serenaders).

I saw a film of all my friends and I acting like idiots. Grade 7 was a very good year.

I just watched the PHANTOM TOLL BOOTH. That show is part of my childhood.

Don't know if people are still making updates to this forum, but anyhow...

Anyone seen "Donnie Darko?" I recommend it if you're into teen angsty films that involve time travel, bad motivational speakers, and a weird dude in a bunny suit. I think the goth kids would especially dig it. It also features the brother/sister team of Jake and Maggie Gyllenhall and has a killer soundtrack with Echo and the Bunnymen, Duran Duran, and a really freaky cover of Tears for Fears "Mad World."

I also enjoy skateboarding, riding the cerf, killing bugbears, and Stratego. I am a devote Catholic (in case you couldn't tell! lol). Other than that, I am just a normal guy. I believe Nixon got it right the first time, that we should live in a society with an elaborate caste system, and that the only thing better than looking like a million bucks is Being a million bucks... Literally!

One thing that sort of annoyed me about Donny Darko was that the guy held up the Stephen Hawking book, A Brief History of Time, and said that Stephen Hawking proved that we could use wormholes to travel back in time. However, I'm pretty sure Stephen Hawking says something near the exact opposite; he says that creating a wormhole would actually be Impossible!

I admit I haven't read any Hawking, but if that's true it's a pretty big oversight! Still like the movie though.

I borrowed the vhs to Magnolia over the weekend. It's kind of dark in places but strangely affirming. Aimee Man still rocks.

I've been meaning to get the dvd for The Right Stuff. Always been a big fan of that film. They did the forrest gump live interaction sequences ten years prior. When the B-29 sweeps the tarmac I still get chills.
