I don't care for writing reviews, actually. I don't think I have that kind of mind. I have thoughts, of course. I don't know what they add up to & I can't usually be troubled to make them add up to anything. I just like to leave some things in a mess, you know? In fact I think that you have to leave some things in a mess.

Of COURSE Isabelle Huppert. toddius December 9 2004, 06:11:43 UTC

(well, maybe the Naomi Watts of "Mulholland Drive" over her)

The BOXES are driving me CRAZY.

See, Naomi Watts was good in Mulholland Drive. I mean, I'm not saying she was *bad* in this. It just felt to me --and I really hate saying this-- that she was trying too hard. I haven't seen her in that many movies, actually. Just Mulholland Drive and Le Divorce, because I had a Kate Hudson crush going for a while. She wasn't bad in that, she spoke French in that--

Yeah, a sort of lighter, loonier touch would have worked better for that character. There was too much seriousness in her decline to bonnet-wearing.

Je suis d'accord.

You know what else was great, which I thought of when I was thinking about Naomi Watts-- "Huckabees. The Everything Store." The Everything Store, think about that.

mrs_munt December 9 2004, 06:24:44 UTC

What was not great was having everything tied up to this cat ...and the photo archive is called Schrodinger's... ugh.

toddius December 9 2004, 06:28:21 UTC

was it really? no it wasn't? Ugh. Are you serious?

Pat The Cat mrs_munt December 9 2004, 06:31:57 UTC

Yeah. I didn't mind ~so~ much that it was called that. Put together with the cat, it's too much... the thing with the cat was too pat, in any case.

I also kind of like the art on the cover of Vaubaun's book.

Ah, I missed that. What was it?

Yikes. Well. Nothing is useless. No one thing is the key to everything. One thing might help a particular person, and the opposite thing might help another person... or one thing might help a person at a particular time, and the opposite thing might help that same person at another time. Like, for example, to some people you want to say, Relax, you're thinking too hard. Like you know if they loosen their grip a little, the thing that they're grasping for will yield to them. As in love, you know? Other people definitely need to unrelax a lot. They need to discover rigor. Don't you feel, sometimes, that you don't know what to do & opposite things seem equally appropriate? And you feel terrified, because they're opposite & that means one is right and the other is wrong? But that doesn't necessarily follow, right? The right thing to do could be --and for me, often is-- to move between the opposites, because it generates a kind of energy. Maybe, because maybe the thing to do is to stick to one side & gather some weight. I mean, this is why ( ... )

That should say But only maybe, because maybe the thing to do is...
