What Swanky Things are you Watching?

[Not Afraid]

We watched Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind tonight. Charlie Kaufman is a brilliant writer! I love how he plays with concepts of reality and time. He always strikes me as a 1960's science fiction writer who just happens to write for contemporary society. Its like, the future is now. Anyways, I loved the writing here as much as I did in Adaptation and Being John......

Kate Winslet was absolutely wonderful and Jim Carrey bugged me even less than he did in the Truman Show. There was only ONE moment where he went into overacting comedy mode, and it was a short segment.

I'm sure I'd have more to say if I wasn't feeling so icky.


Oh, and last night, I "got" Claire's sig about doggie farts while seeing A Very Long Engagement. Chris summed up my feelings pretty well above. I loved it. There was another line in the film that I was excited about remembering, but of course don't remember at all. It's one of those "that would make a good sig line" moments that make you feel like a geek.

Tonight's film line was "I'm making a birdhouse here!"
