I'll give you the run-down of today, because I've nothing else to do. I awoke at 6:45 a.m. and yes, it was a Saturday. I had to be on campus around 8ish so I could get footage of the KHSSL state speech tournie for my news story. I met a coach yesterday who hooked me up with an interview. I got a little footage then went to work at 10. I came

I realize I am late on commenting here, but just trying not to be offended by calling Mulholland Drive and Wshere The Truth Lies gratutitous. If those sex scenes move along the story and have significant impact, then why is it gratutitous? Isn't that just a part of storytelling? Maybe you should say that it has strong sexual content and turn into the MPAA for your friends, but you need to find another word than gratuitous because that implies that the content it s too much, overdone, etc...which I think we would both argue is not the case for either of those films, especially Mulholland Drive. Anyways, just felt like ranting about rhetoric. Have a nice one.

And didn't like F For Fake, huh? Oh well...

My apologies

Apparently, I worded my content warnings a little too quickly. If all readers would be so kind as to mentally change any statements that involve the word "gratuitous" to a statement that instead somehow mentions "strong sexual content". And I see your point of about the phrase gratuitous. In fact, I would consider the rant gratuitous (OOooooooh! Feel the sting! "Your tears sustain me!" and things of that nature...). But to summarize, James was correct. And I was more or less indifferent to F for Fake. I really liked parts, but other parts I didnt particularly care for. Plus I totally called the thing about "I'm not going to lie to you for the next hour".

Biggest news: Top 10 List should be ready by the end of the week. I haven't seen everything I wanted to, but I figure I've seen enough that I can make a reasonable top 10 list.
