hiddenmuseThe Shape of Things was a very, very interesting movie. Kind of dark and convoluted - as Neil LaBute films tend to be - but very interesting.
Paul Rudd, of course, was hot. Even when he was playing schlumpy - he was hot. Rachel Weisz's character was a conniving bitch - but oh my, she was too smooth. And Gretchen Mol's character was quite vanilla ... not to mention that she looked sort of like a blonde Sarah McLachlan.
{How quickly I forgot! The music was by Elvis Costello & it seemed like a lot of it was from When I Was Cruel ... so, unless there are any other songs I didn't know of, you can get When I Was Cruel and basically have the soundtrack to The Shape of Things in your pretty little hands. Besides that, you'd also have some decent Elvis Costello tunes.}
I'd definitely see the movie again. :)
Otherwise, the weather was for the birds. Thunder, lightning, near-torrential downpours. Blah. Made me glad that I was in flats and schlepping around my behemoth umbrella. After the movie, I went to my favorite "late-night record shop" - Vintage Vinyl, and bought a Charles Mingus CD (he was a Jazz bassist, for those that may be wondering) - although I was tempted to get Placebo's new one. I think I'll wait on that until I have more money....
Oh yeah ... new site to check out: The Borowitz Report. Look through the Archives section - some of the fake headlines are terrific, and of course, funny as hell. Especially this one: "Saddam and Osama Threaten to Quit Writing Letters If No One Writes Back"
Well, the CD is great, but rather relaxing. Perhaps this means that I should get my ass in bed soon. Good night everyone - and a pleasant tomorrow! :)
