Watched a good documentary on Netflix instant yesterday: 180deg South

It's about a guy's journey to Patagonia sorta retracing the journey of the founders of North Face and Patagonia (they're good friends, oh, and the founder of Patagonia is a total badass)

Saw that. Incredibly beautiful. The dude that founded North Face is a pretty cool mother [expletive] as well. Think the surfer/climber guy banged the Easter Island chick?

[The Third Man]

That's far more impressive to me than Godard making one film after another than hammers you over the head with the same New Wave techniques.

Godard is probably the wrong guy to use as an antithesis to pushing his own boundaries.

We noticed the Easter Island chick had a ring on her left ring finger, so we're not sure since we don't know if rings are custom there to signify marriage. If she's not married, then absolutely.

Except that all he does is push boundaries. The same boundaries. Again and again and again.*


*and I'm fine with that, by the way- I like Godard quite a bit. It just gets tiresome after awhile. You know how occasionally you watch a Tarantino flick and it feels like he's screaming at you "LOOK AT THIS! LOOK AT WHAT I DID HERE!!!!". Godard's the same way.

Speaking of the New Wave guys, I watched Truffaut's "The Last Metro" over the weekend. It was incredible.

I finally saw Garden State. Pretty good zeitgeist sort of indie film.

For some reason I was sure he was going to end up

having brain cancer

One of my favorite movies. Braff picks all of the soundtracks and I have pretty much the same taste in music as him. Also having Natalie Portman in the movie redeems having to look at his nose.

May I lower the level of discussion? I saw Kira Reed on some commercial for something called mymedicalrecords.com over the weekend. If you ever watched Cinemax After Dark in the late 1990s, you saw Kira Reed. She looked excessively Botoxed, sad to say.

Always wondered about that genre, the "hard R" T&A field of moviemaking. Is it really profitable? More so than porn? Who pays for those movies besides Cinemax, anyway?

I think a lot of those are actually just edited pornos. So they're pretty much turning one movie into two.
