Will I get to rent "The Science of Sleep"? Doubtful. I think I'm going to have to break down and invest. It's Michel Gondry. Should be worth the expenditure. Meanwhile, "Running With Scissors" is available for purchase today. (Someone really should hire me to promote their films...) I recommend this movie from the bottom of my toes. It disturbed me for days. It made me appreciate and forgive my family's minor idiocyncracies. It compelled me to bathe and scrub my house.
The main event, however, is "Pan's Labyrinth." I journeyed far to watch it, and still haven't figured out how I feel about it. I'm not exaggerating in the slightest when I say I was hopping up and down with excitement. (I'm such a dork, I'm taken aback by it at times.) But I think the film landed a bit too close to home in parts, which is probably why I was so pissed when I left the theatre. Don't get me wrong: It was good. It was really good. But I don't know that it was twenty-two minutes of applause good (as apparently the folks at Cannes thought). The Pale Man was creepy as all hell. Pan was deviously askew... had crazy, square goat eyes. Worth the expedition, for sure.
I dreamed last night that I drilled screws into my teeth.
Listen to Mika. Really. Do.
