I dunno, I got nothin. Except my mind got to wandering what might happen if Lord Grantham knew Kung Fu.

Finally got around to watching The Master. I love me some PTA, but man, this one left me at the station. I don't get it. We don't learn much about the characters, not much happens, we don't really know what motivates anyone, and it just kind of dribbles off to a nowhere conclusion.
What it lacked in insight, it made up for in length. 2.5 hours.
It's times like this when I wish there was still such a thing as Blockbuster Video or Hollywood Video. The Place Beyond the Pines was released today and I cannot watch it unless i want to buy it or stream it via Amazon Instant, which i do not not have.
One of those rare moments when technology is a real dickhead.
Doesn't look much like the thought provoking, funny, touching, wildly-creative and awesome movies he made with Kaufman. Adaptation is certainly on my short list. Where The Wild Things Are had a couple moments but felt like watching a bear ride a bicycle for too long or something. Anyway, we'll see I guess.
