232) The Daytrippers. Ever since Arlington Road I've had a huge crush on Hope Davis. She's so adorable I can't help but love her. This was a pretty standard indie comedy/drama, all eccentric characters and "insightful" dialogue. Decent enough.

233) Klaus Kinski: My Best Fiend. I was so excited to see this. Herzog is the only person I've had cause to apply the term "mad genius" to and the only movies I've seen of his all star Kinski. I watched Fitzcarraldo and Burden of Dreams in a philosophy class at UAB and couldn't believe what I was seeing and went out the next day and rented Aguirre (and later bought it, and man, the commentary track by Herzog is worth ten times the price of the DVD) and Cobra Verde and was totally dumbfounded that such things existed. I really want to buy the Herzog/Kinski Collection and this totally fueled that want. I know Herzog is a nut but I had no clue how stark raving mad Kinski was! Van, if you can find this somewhere you need to rent it and you'll see what I was talking about. Just crazy.

233 down, 767 to go.

Oddly Dissapointed Update:
There's this woman that works across the street from me that I am totally in love with. She's absolutely gorgeous, but more than that, she has an impeccable sense of style and as Robin can tell you my knowledge of and attention to women's fashion borders on the scary so my fascination with her is only augmented by her wardrobe. Anyway, I was shocked to see her in a piar of Ugg boots Friday and my esteem for her quickly diminished. I mean, she's still gorgeous, but Uggs? So I hadn't seen her all week and then today when I was leaving she was walking out and she had on a very pretty blue dress and I was relieved until I realized that she looks like Traci Lords. Which, Traci Lords is very pretty if you can get past the whole "I was a teenage porn star" thing, but now every time I see her I'm going to think Traci Lords and that's just weird. Curses.

My question for you is were you shocked because Uggs went out of style two years ago or because they are ugly?

First of all I'm not a dirty whore. Second of all it has nothing to do with me, it has do with everyone's else opinion of you.

and why should i care about everyone else's opinion of me? just because you are shallow and in constant need of validation doesn't mean we all are. also, you freely admitted to thinking about my nuts on your chin.

I never said that. EVER. Once again you can't compose fake emails and then pretend I really wrote them.

Also the reason you don't care about anyone else's opinion is because you are an emotionless robot who does have the capacity to care for others.
