it never stops. i'm always always watching something. yesterday we had a big day long rainstorm so today i got out to the rocky part of the coast and watched the ocean get big and fierce and scary and all crash up on rocks. then i went to walmart and watched a lot of tv commercials in the aisles.
but before all that, on friday night, i watched a serious man. again with the sucking at talking about things i really like. overall, though, it was dark and funny and excellent. probably my favorite movie this year so far. you know, it's about a nice but maybe meak physics professor and his crummy life, and his being jewish is a big part of it. the kids are really great, especially the son, and the wife's friend looks like a taller, fatter allen ginsberg. and lots of rabbis, and religion's and people's kind but useless advice to someone in a shitstorm. and natural disaster and funny strange parts. man vs man, self, kids, wife, nature, students and all that jazz. plus it's all 60s suburban minneapolis-- so cute! also! a brother who drains a cyst on his neck a lot. and some jefferson airplane and pot. i just really liked it.
also now the twin peaks festival is over. and good riddance. i've moved on to cartoons. do you like king of the hill? the first season is some of the best stuff. i have to watch some of the critic and some home movies. i also rented creature comforts, by the wallace and gromit dude(s) i think. this is the one where they take interviews with people all over america and then use that as audio and the visual is some animals. does that make sense? it's great. here's some:

i joined the stars film club in denver. stars was this really great indipendent movie theater and the film club meant that i got invited to a free movie once a month. sometimes they were really great and sometimes they were dvds. one of those dvds was creature comforts. but, it was good to see. i totally saw things i won't have been able to watch anywhere and might not have picked to watch. kind of like this blog, i'm learning great stuff.
