i'm watching "chinatown" while dusting my bedroom and trying to fit in re-doing my nails. i've never seen it before. how do you go your whole life and miss a movie starring faye dunaway and jack nicholson? who knows

i think there is something really wrong with my wiring because i didn't like chinatown, though i really should have and, of course, i wanted to like it. chinatown is kinda like having a girl totally head over heels for you and no matter what you do, you just can't fall in love with her, and it bugs you, because she'd probably be perfect. chinatown has been on my mind a lot lately, enough to almost rent it, which i really dread doing. you see, i didn't like and there will be blood, and everyone said that was great and it was great like chinatown was great and oh my god how wonderful and such and such and i was sitting there thinking, am i watching the same thing?. everyone says chinatown is like the perfect film noir flick. what do you think?

oh, by the way: ♥

mark, i couldn't even give the movie an hour of my time. i was bored after the first 15 minutes and in my boredom i started thinking things like, "is there something wrong with me? i'm supposed to like this movie. everyone says it is such a masterpeice, but i feel like at any moment jessica rabbit is going to walk into the scene. maybe i am not mature enough for this movie, maybe i'm not taking it seriously, perhaps i should just really sit here and watch and listen" and then i got up to get coffee and never came back. i was just really bored.

Chinatown is fantastic. Not quite Polanski's best movie (that has to be Repulsion) but a great movie nonetheless.
