"Ask the sex question again."

The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou (USA, 2004) **** - Weird comedy. Weird mixture of cast. Weird dialogs. Weird visual effects. Weird Bowie songs played in Portuguese by Seu Jorge. Weird costumes. Weird film. But it appealed to me. Very much so.

Mr. & Mrs. Smith (USA, 2005) **** - Ok, I know it isn't what people would call "a very good film". But I enjoyed it a lot, laughed a lot, and had a very good time. There were some really corny parts, but besides that, the script was good. So, why not make it four stars? Don't think this movie would've been half as good as it was if it was with other protagonists, though. Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt were just bloody hot perfect for their parts. Missed a good old blockbuster.

Movie night today. Theme: I hate Valentine's Day. *grins*

You like bowling, don't you, Montag?

If you don't want a man unhappy politically, don't give him two sides to a question to worry him; give him one. Better yet, give him none. If the government is inefficient, topheavy, and tax-mad, better it be all those than that people worry over it. Peace, Montag. Give the people contests they win by remembering the words to more popular songs or the names of state capitals or how much corn Iowa grew last year. Cram them full of noncombustible data, chock them so damned full of 'facts' they feel stuffed, but absolutely 'brilliant' with information. Then they'll feel like they're thinking, they'll get a sense of motion without moving. And they'll be happy, because facts of that sort don't change. Don't give them any slippery stuff like philosophy or sociology to tie things up with. That way lies melancholy.
