Watched Richard Linklater’s “Waking Life” this afternoon. It either helped or hurt, I’m not sure which, that I was in sort of a dreamlike state myself while watching the movie – I needed a nap, apparently. But anyway, it had some wonderful rotoscoped animation, and dealt with some mind-bending topics about dreams and life and perception. Miles away from the usual crap they want us to swallow at the movies these days. Not totally successful as a movie, it’s still quite a work of art and worth experiencing.
Tomorrow is Harry Potter day at ‘words mean things.’ My prediction? Entertaining but nothing special. We’ll see.
Anybody seen “The Man Who Wasn’t There”? I’m so looking forward to that one.
