It’s 90’s grunge with 00’s glam!
The other day on the train to Penn Station a guy sat next to me. There was a little girl in the seat in front of us peaking through the chairs, and he was so nice with her, making her laugh and such.
I can’t help seeing this and wondering if this was him.
That beef is anachronistic.
- In my Literature class, discussing "Symposium."
- Student: But how could Plato use real people as characters and just put words in their mouths?
- Teacher: Back then there was no such notion as "copyright." It's not like it would be today. Plato could use real people to communicate his own words.
- Student: But if that's Plato's philosophy, then I have a beef.
- Teacher: That beef is anachronistic.
The movies I've watched since I've been in college:
and a brief comment.
009 Ponyo
I love Miyazaki.
010 Pineapple Express
James Franco.
011 Dangerous Liasons
Glenn Close was perfect. Very.. dynamic movie.
012 The Prestige
Christian Bale <3. Good movie.. but unfortunately, I already knew one of the plot twists.
013 New York, I Love You
It was obvious they tried to make the movie more cohesive than Paris, Je’Taime. It was good.. but all the love was the same kind of male/female relationship. No mimes here. The part that Natalie Portman directed was my favorite..
014 Cruel Intentions
It was the clean version since I watched it on TV. A pretty decent attempt at a modern Dangerous Liasons, but it wasn’t as good as it.
015 Uncertainty (11/14)
I was nauseous the whole time because I sat in the front row.. a noble project, but ultimately not an especially moving or poignant movie. But.. Joseph Gordon-Levitt was worth it.
016 Bright Star (11/15)
Beautiful.. slow-moving, but the ending wrapped it up perfectly.
017 Inglorious Basterds (11/19)
Hilarious. Absurd. Hilariously absurd.
018 There Will Be Blood (11/19)
Daniel Day-Lewis and Paul Dano are both fantastic actors! When I read the plot I thought this movie would bore me, but I was totally sucked in the whole time.
019 An Education (11/21)
There were so many things I loved about this movie. The scene where David and Danny are asking Jenny to sing was so.. it made me swoon. Like, really. Really. My only complaint is that I feel there was a mysterious half-hour just randomly cut from the ending.. it didn’t end badly, but it didn’t end.. appropriately. There was no closure.
