if anyone was thinking about seeing a film that, while it won't cheer you up per se, will make you feel a whole lot better about the life you're currently leading, i recommend checking out gus van sant's last days. it's inspired by the last days of kurt cobain's life. let's just say it's a little bizarre, but it had good intentions ( Read more... )

dear lacanian literary criticism/critics,
