My Must-see Movies

A History of Violence - Cronenberg
Capote - about the writing of In Cold Blood (Capote set out to prove that nonfiction, effectively written, can be as compelling as fiction - and set the standard for true crime writing); Philip Seymour Hoffman as Capote and Catherine Keener as Harper Lee
Thumbsucker - looks quirky, cool poster ("Honk If You're Flawed")
A Scanner Darkly - animated like Waking Life, Richard Linklater directed. You can never get enough Dick.
Wallace & Gromit
Protocols of Zion (documentary) - It's about time someone made a documentary exposing this piece of garbage. Anti-Semitic paranoia is unbelievably high even in our "enlightened" society. (To all those people who complain that "Jews own the media", I say that's because they're not spoiled, whiny sh**s who think the world owes them favours!!)

Neil Gaiman is a bastard. No, not really. But he did use my idea. I wrote a story about a young lesbian named Oona who grows up in her father's circus and longs to run away from it; her love for a trapeze artist and her literally two-faced adopted brother, D'artagnion, hold her back. Now here's the opening line of the summary for Mirrormask, a fantasy film Neil Gaiman has written: "MirrorMask is the story of Helena, a fifteen year-old girl working for her family circus, who wishes - quite ironically - that she could run away from the circus and join real life." URRRRRGHHHH.

Movies that are taking a reeealllly long time to be released:

The Woods - horror movie about a girls' private school; Patricia Clarkson is the headmistress
Asylum - Can't remember who stars in this, but the wife of an asylum director has an affair with a patient and finds out that he's - duh - crazy.
