I like movies

Um, so watching movies about writers makes me feel like a huge failure and I will thank my horrible guilt complex for making that make sense...
Or not.
Well a good movie to watch is Happythankyoumoreplease. Josh Radnor wrote, directed, and starred in it.  He's the guy who plays Ted in How I Met Your Mother. It's another one of those Garden State phenomenons where a comedian writes a hella fucking fanstatic serious movie.  Although I like Josh (yeah, we're totes on first name basis... in my mind) a lot more in HIMYM than I EVER liked Zach Braff as JD.  But I absolutely love Garden State and every time I see it I have to wonder aloud what the fuck Braff is doing as a comedian when he is infinitely better as a serious screen writer/ director.
I had a point when I started this rant...
RIGHT! So Happythankyoumoreplease is realistic and happy.  I won't say more because I think that if anybody actually reads this they should really really see it. And I hate spoilers, so I won't be responsible for them.  But see it. Or you could take Rotten Tomatoes' word for it, which gave it a 40% rating.  It's a free country after all.

Two of the best new Radiohead songs.

"Codex"

Sleight of hand
Jump off the end
Into a clear lake
No one around

Just dragonflies
Fantasize
No one gets hurt
You’ve done nothing wrong

Slide your hand
Jump off the end
The water's clear and innocent
The water's clear and innocent 

"Give Up The Ghost"

Don't hurt me
Don't hurt me
Don't hurt me

Gather up the lost and sold (Don't hurt me)

In your arms (Don't hurt me)
In your arms (Don't hurt me)

Gather up the pitiful (Don't hurt me)

In your arms (Don't hurt me)
In your arms (Don't hurt me)

What seems impossible (Don't hurt me)

In your arms (Don't hurt me)
In your arms (Don't hurt me)

I think I have had my fill (Don't hurt me)

In your arms (Don't hurt me)
In your arms (Don't hurt me)
In your arms (Don't hurt me)
In your arms (Don't hurt me)

I think I should give up the ghost (Don't hurt me)

In your arms (Don't hurt me)
In your arms (Don't hurt me)
In your arms (Don't hurt me)
In your arms (Don't hurt me) 


This blog is dedicated to those poor souls who love me enough to care (or at least pretend to care) about what I think and say. Thanks (no really, I mean that :)
