I'm going to try to be better about thinking aloud here, and hope to get back to reading notes/informal reviews, as my too-crazy schedule allows. But at very least I can note what comes in the mail, including both purchases and gifts.

I have several more Dusie chaps and a few other things to add later.

Film review

Public Enemies. What? Who are all these people getting shot? Set in bygone days when the criminals were populist instead of corporate, even Johnny Depp cannot save this one. Perhaps Christian Bale should have thrown a tantrum during filming.

Film review

Moon riffs on both 2001 and Blade Runner (both of which are favorites), among others. And Sam Rockwell plays ping-pong against himself. I loved the model miniatures, and Gerty the computer. Also, director Duncan Jones is A) adorable and B) David Bowie's son.

Film review

My favorite part in Night Moves in when Gene Hackman is on the boat on his way to get the sunken valuables with whatshername and he's leaning back with his arms spread out and says in a somewhat accusatory tone, "Your erect nipples."

Film review

The Hurt Locker was boring.
