so, i haven't started the second season of friday night lights. i watched the first in two days. two sunny, warm, beautiful days, by the way. but, i'm forcing myself to take a little break and i know that's for the best.
i did watch fay grim (2006) today. it's the sequel to henry fool. henry fool was the first hal hartley movie i saw and it made me love hal hartley. plus, it's very epic. fay grim was pretty good. things sure happened, but it's hard to talk about what happened. it's funny because people keep falling a little in love with fay and she likes it. it's also funny because i'm sure that hal hartley didn't have any of it in mind when he wrote the first movie. it's nice he took something and reinvented it.
the movie is shot at an angle a lot, which i didn't like. i was laying down and sleepy, so in some ways i couldn't tell if it was the movie or the angle of my head that was off, but i feel like that's a lame thing to do. at least it's lame to do all the time.

we saw hal hartley at the harvard film archive, right? i don't remember henry fool at all, i don't think i've seen very many hartley movies but that should change. i remember trying to watch book of life but not liking it. i do like the iceland monster one and the, oh wait, i've totally seen henry fool. that's a good one. so, this would make a pretty good double feature.
