Decision

Since I am too one-dimensional and prone to horrid procrastination, I have decided to meld into this blog the list of books I am reading this month. Not that it should come as a surprise to anyone, but the theme is loss.

A few flicks about variants of strange but similar beings, and a book or 5 read just in the tub.
I still say "donnie darko" is really a great film.
It is about loss AND strange but similar beings.
The best one on loss was "Magnolia" despite having Tom Cruise in it. How I dislike him.
Poor Tom. Not only does he seem overblown but he really is not a great actor.
A great icon yes, a great movie star, yes.
In Magnolia, he acts, and acts well.

Watched "The Last Samurai" and couldnt get through it without being annoyed.
Every Japanese actor was killed by Gatling guns, every horse shot down, but no, Tom's character lived on.
Right.

phhht and shame.

Hollywoods only custom is coin.
