3 more movies:
Bella was good and sweet, but i think i missed the point, its about a nice guy and something bad happens to him, and it changes his life and he "fixes it" - at least thats what i think the director would have us to think.
Before the Devil knows your dead(may you spend 30 minutes in heaven... before the devil knows your dead) - philip seymore h. always a great actor, didn't do much in this movie in the way of what he usually brings to the table, except in one scene, where he is assisted my marisa tomei, he is upset about the relationship he and his father have, it think it was one of the most emotional scene's i've ever scene in my life, i did not cry, but i should have, its truly amazingly heartbreaking, hmm.
Burn after reading - its good, its even pretty good, but not great, Brad Pitt's character is great, but he's great at playing those types - 12 monkeys, fight club, etc. Clooney's good to, his character kind of reminded me a little of o brother..., which made me smile.

couple things:
first, i saw matt chandler strolling around campus today, well i should say i hear him first, then i saw him (he has a distinct voice). i thought about saying something stupid, literally stupid - not funny or clever, just stupid, i thought about asking him to sign my pocast. this is my fallback. there is such a thing as being star struck, the problem is, i don't think of him as a celebrity, but all my friends do, so its kinda like i wanna say something jerky just so i can tell them what i did to their hero...
second, I'm glad that while emotions or feeling my come through in people's writing, halitosis does not.
third, this summer i started reading the shack (semi spoiler alert) and never finished it, partly cause its not great, intriguing but not great, and partly because i ran out of time. plenty of christians love the book, and the rest hate it. God the Father is presented in the "Flesh" as a mami type mad black woman - seriously - anyway - i was having a conversation with someone about this, sorta, when they said that God is not a big fat black woman, to which I appropriately quipped, "yes he is!" i mean jeeze, everyone knows that, they don't call him king of kings and syrups to for nothin.
finally, Howard Hendricks, he recommended a book in class today called English Grammar for Language students, i went to the book store a couple of hours later to pick it up, and as i described to the staff they snickered a little, i asked if everyone was asking for it and they said yes. On this campus Hendricks = Oprah

Sometimes I feel behind…like sometimes I wanna quite everything to focus on one new thing, some new thing I must know thoroughly, or some times I feel I must concentrate thoroughly on some old thing, some old thing I feel I should have known thoroughly. Like right now I just wanna drop everything and spend all my time and energy learning English – I mean everything. I stink at English, I often wish I had majored in English, though I hated it, and new nothing of it. In fact I failed English 102 in college 5 times, the teacher just gave me a c the sixth time, I was thankful to be rid of en 102, but in hindsight I would have rather learned English.
