"The One I Love" is soooo good. Like an episode of the Twilight Zone that doesn't have to rush through the premise at the expense of the characters. The ending can be viewed several different ways and the whole thing is really engrossing and fun to think about.

Wolf of Wall St kind of bored me. Just couldn't get myself to give a crap about any of the characters or what happened to them.

"Borgman" (Dutch, subtitles) was crazy. Lots of religious themes. Kind of brutal. Very creepy,

Going to see Interstellar tomorrow. When can I go pee and not miss much?

Pity that Hollywood has forgotten that there once used to be a thing called intermissions.

Fewer showtimes. Less money.

Speaking of both Wolf of Wall Street and intermissions: I'm the sort of anal-retentive jackass that absolutely refuses to get up during a movie and relieve myself. This is normally not at all a problem, despite my weak bladder, because A) I anticipate seeing a movie and thus don't indulge in beverages, and B) most movies aren't all that long.

However. When I saw The Wolf of Wall Street, I happened to be two 40oz. Bud Lights deep, and my best friend called me asking if I wanted to go see it with her and her boyfriend. A chance to see the new movie by my favorite director with my favorite person? Of course I said yes. And of course I pissed three times before the movie even started, and then, half an hour into the movie, felt the urge to go again and spent 2.5 hours sitting criss-crossed while occasionally moaning in pain and frustration. When I finally got out of the theater, I let loose a stream that went on unabated for a good 45 seconds.

Still loved that movie.

I remember the last movie there was an intermission for when I saw it was "The Thin Red Line", which indicates how long it's not been a thing.

Saw The Theory of Everything and I liked it very much. I think it was a pretty accurate description of Hawkings life. I hear alot working at a physics lab, and one thing that I knew about Hawkings was his love of the ladies. Dude used to love going to strip joints. They hinted at that in the movie, winning the subscription to Hustler magazine and having it delivered to his office at Oxford.

Which reminds me btw long ago (15 years ago) there was a scientist where I work who was having something like that delivered to work. When he was confronted and asked why it was being delivered to work, he thought it was a stupid question and apparently laughed at them for it. Why send it to work? Because my wife won't let me have it delivered to home you idiot!

Duh.

They told him to stop.

Finally, Christian Bale recently said he felt jealous to see Ben Affleck wearing the cape and cowl – do you ever get that?

No. Do you know why? Because I’m Batman. I’m very secure in that.

Saw Birdman tonight too. Enjoyable, but not anything that stands out greatly. Makes the same points about celebrity and Hollywood that you've seen before. Keaton is pretty good though.

saw Birdman last night and it was basically just Black Swan + The Wrestler, except not as good.
