some more excellent films

Le Samourai: One of Reg's alltime favorite films, I can only assume it's because he has a mancrush on Alain Delon. He's the title character, a cold assassin who keeps to his code even when he nearly botches a hit. Melville's use of lighting and shadow and silence really drew me in.

Following: I attempted to watch this right after Reg and I got together, but I was still pretty bad about falling asleep during movies on Steve's couch back then. Yesterday I really wanted to watch something with a twist ending, and I remembered hearing that this one did, so I put it on. I'm sure most people have already seen it, as it's Chris Nolan's first film, but if you haven't I recommend it. It isn't perfect plot-wise, but neither was Memento.


I'm still kind of in the mood for twist-endings, but of course it's hard to know ahead of time if a movie has a twist or not. If you know of some, please reply to this post with only the name of the film, and maybe the director/main actor. I prefer crime or thriller or suspense pls.

stupid invention of the day:

Toilet paper with images of famous people on it. Or for a few dollars more, send pictures of your exes or other nemeses and get one face per square. From Kenny G to Dubya to Steve Ballmer to Limbaugh to Mohammed*, your skidmarks on their face. Thanks to suxdonut and uncelestial for imagineering it with me.


* only if you wipe with the left hand
