Movie- Nashville by Robert Altman. Usually on Monday nights Alex and I go see a movie together, unfortunately for me he is fucking off to Paris for a month. Because of this, I am switching my schedule to do a Sunday morning movie on my own, I started last week with Nashville at Metrograph. Ben sent me three different reviews of the movie to read- including Pauline Kael’s. Even though I am annoyed with him right now I read all three. Anyway, this movie is amazing and there are not many more interesting things I could say that have not already been said. Metrograph added a video reminding people not to talk and go on their phones prior to the movie, I hope this will help to bring the curse which has fallen upon Metrograph audiences to an end.
Song – Dues by Ronee Blakely from Nashville. I have taken to imagining I can sing this and pretending to be Ronee Blakely throughout my apartment multiple times a day. My neighbors hate me, and I do not care. All of the actors playing musicians in the film wrote the songs which the perform, it is an amazing feat of artistry on all fronts.
Experience – Going to Coney Island for Leo’s birthday. We wound up going on their equivalent of a water ride, and got unexpectedly soaked. I felt bad afterwards as the ride had been my idea, but any grudge held by the others went unsaid.
