I agree. That movie totally gave me the creeps. That scene where the older brother bullies his younger brother really rang true. Also, Marissa Tomei is attractive.
Mm hmmm...
I also want to see "Synecdoche, New York" cuz it stars both PS Hoffman and Catherine Keener, whom I luv. I saw "An American Crime" recently and thought Keener was great in it.

I've been very fortunate to be able to devote time to fighting back the forces that divide us, but, like the national guard unit that went to war I don't know if there is a job for me now in the real world.

Two other movies that I've seen recently are
The Vistor, which was really lovely and involves cross culture concern for others and just last night I saw
"Music and Lyrics". M and L was very fun. It was light and a perfect video rental. It stars Drew Barrymore and Hugh Grant. He plays a former Pop star and she plays an lyricist.
What I liked about it is how it addresses both "high" culture and "low" culture. An attitude that serious writing is better than the writing of a great lyric in a song.
I think I need to remember this.
It's like the great movie Sullivan's Travels (as referenced in the movie Grand Canyon). The whole issue of what gives people joy and happiness. There are places for both kind of work. Comedy and drama.
Most of my life I've looked to comedy because I was pretty good at it, but it didn't get respect so you go for the serious stuff and try and damp down the comedy because it isn't respected. This same theme was addressed in Woody Allen's "Stardust Memories" movies.
I wonder. Do serious people desire to be funny the same way that funny people sometime desire to be serious?

Non-Game Changer #1: Sarah Palin does not get Hillary Clinton supporters to defect to the McCain campaign. http://www.alternet.org/election...lection/?
page=3
In the aftermath of the Democratic primary feud between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, some in the McCain campaign were eager to "ratfuck" Obama's presidential bid by persuading Democratic women to shift their allegiances to John McCain. The crown jewel in this strategy was the selection of Sarah Palin, a little-known half-term governor from Alaska, as McCain's vice presidential running mate. While the surprise selection of Palin did generate some much-needed media hype for McCain's flagging presidential bid, it also practically begged the media to heavily scrutinize a politician of whom practically no one had ever heard.

Gingrich is far from a unanimous or even a consensus choice to run for president in 2012, but there is a strong feeling in Republican ranks that he is the only leader of their party who has shown the skill and energy to attempt a comeback quickly.
Maybe he'll shut down the government again!

Commentary: Obama thinks like a professor, inspires like a preacher
What Democrats learned from this election is that if their candidate thinks like a professor but inspires like a preacher, they can have their cake and eat it, too.
President-elect Obama faces enormous mountains to climb that will require enormous public support. He will no doubt pursue the policies he considers best for digging our nation out of some deep ditches, both domestically and internationally.
But the best policies don't sell themselves, whether the date is November 3 or January 21, and the style that led him to the White House -- a calm, thoughtful, steady approach to policy combined with an extraordinary capacity to inspire -- is the same style that will make him an extraordinary leader.
