BIG EDEN (Thomas Bezucha, 2000, USA)
Big Eden is a sweet and cute and adorable and kinda gay. Well, actually, really gay. It's also apparently a romantic comedy, but, shhhhhh, I didn't know that until after I watched it so it was all ok. Among other things this movie does a very good job of looking at what a drastically reduced level of homophobia/sexism might look like. Makes a ( Read more... ) -
Comics
Every once and a while Top Shelf has a sale. Top Shelf tends to put out quite a few comics that meet my criteria for something that I will buy, so when they have a sale I buy everything that I’ve been waiting to buy for the past however long it’s been. This time I bought ten books. They also threw in a seasonal sampler for 2008. I know that a new ( Read more... ) -

Two books
Ripe - Actually "a vegetarian cookzine" - Issue 4 - The only thing I've tried from it so far is a tahini dressing that it suggests you put over steamed greens.

VAMPYR (Carl Theodor Dreyer, 1932, Germany)
More with the vampire movies. I wonder if I'll still like them when I get to more contemporary films. This is another silent black and white movie. I liked Nosferatu better. The plot of Vampyr was rather lacking, and the movie wasn't as scary. Still, it was interesting to see another interpretation of the same theme ( Read more... ) -
Movies I might very well watch this summer:
NOW - The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian - Pretty sure I want to see this. On the one hand, the last movie changed things in ways that were odd to me. On the other hand, I love these stories, and the last one was very pretty ( Read more... )
