well, I suppose I can join the throngs of millions of people in the world who greet life on a Monday morning with no real original ideas. (I know all four of you are very disappointed right now). I did however do my fair share of "bum in seat, eyes forward" this weekend, both at home, and in the theater. We checked out Michel Gondrys', Be Kind Rewind, which was a nice little movie about community. I did however find myself wanting more of Gondry's visual prowess to be on display. Mos Def, is probably the coolest dude around. Not so cool, were some of the lines in quite a good film about redemption, In Bruges. Staring Colin Farrell, Ralph Fiennes, and Brendon Gleeson. In Bruges is a film about 2 hit-men who are hiding out in Bruges, Belgium after one of them killed a priest (albeit a deserved one) and a young boy (accidentally). The films moral center features the debate of finding some sort of redemption after committing such a horrible act. As far as the un-cool lines are concerned, there were a few moments of "racism", and "homophobia" that most of the audience were unsure whether or not were funny. I felt a tad bit uncomfortable but tried to relate the insensitivity to the characters. This guy did just murder 2 people. The director's cut of Zodiac more than holds up from my first viewing, and Sunshine seems to be (with The Fountain) one of the most under appreciated movies of the last few years. For those of you wondering how things are shaping up across the pond, Manchester United edged a little closer to league leader's Arsenal this past weekend with a win over "U.S. player heavy" Fulham. 1 point separates us. Champions League tomorrow, and possibly the short story. Laters.

doesn't "U.S. player heavy" usually mean they're gonna get beat up?
