just some stuff

So, I'm sitting here at Starbucks and have been struggling with a .xslt document for a METS record for the last hour with no luck. Since the person I was supposed to meet can not make it, I'm going to do some brief film club blogging as a break from schoolwork before I throw my computer across the store in frustration.

The only new film I have watched recently is All the Days Before Tomorrow. I think Lisa will like it but I'm not sure about the rest of you. 

Jeff, I have been trying to decide if I should read Candy since I first saw and loved the movie back in 2006. Ultimately, I have been holding off because I fell in love with the movie first. Usually it goes in the opposite direction for me so this in kind of odd. Also, I heard that Casper does not play a very significant role in the book and Geoffry Rush is so amazing in the movie that I can't imagine Casper as only a minor character.

Actually, The Diving Bell and the Butterfly is a movie I did not see because I read the book and had reservations about the film. Maybe I will check it out now though. 

Eastern Promises was pretty awesome. I know we aren't talking 2005 yet but I am one of the few people I know that enjoyed A History of Violence as well. After seeing Naked Lunch I became a big fan of Cronenberg.

Confession: I have not seen No Country for Old Men. Sorry. I might one day. 

Ok, turns out that's all the mental space I have for film club right now. I've been caught awkwardly looking at the girl across the store too many times now. For those of you on Twitter or Facebook, start following the Internet Public Library (ipl2). I'm handling all their social media for the next few months.
