I am currently working on a depressing blog regarding the state of our economy, which will include the quote (possibly as the title, if she fits): "This nation has actually been partying like a rich banker's daughter on her 21st birthday who borrowed daddy's credit card and hit the town for a night of (finally) legalized drinking." ( Newstarget.com)
So until that killer is ready for posting (the article is eleven pages!), let's escape reality for a little longer via movie recommendations! I've got three for ya.
1) SherryBaby, starring Maggie Gyllenhaal as a single mom//former drug addict//current sex addict//sexual abuse "survivor"//parolee// mess of a person. Actually, I have 20 minutes left in that one -- but so far the "that's pretty fucked up without being obvious and manipulative" factor holds strong (which I always consider a positive attribute of an indie flick).
2) OT: Our Town is a documentary about high school kids from Compton's hood attempting to put on a stage production of "Our Town" -- without funding, an auditorium, skills or the basketball team's support.
3) Barton Fink is a Coen brothers' classic. I'm only about fourteen minutes in but I'm shooting both thumbs way up due to the inclusion of Steve Buscemi. I don't expect to be disappointed.
Drown your sorrys in rentals, people... don't waste the cash on going to the theater or to the Virgin Megastore!
