paper clips - fairly well put together documentary, though it was almost too easy to divide my attention between it and cataloguing some videotapes of mine, but maybe that says more about me than about the film. maybe i'm just a antisemitic videotape lover and i should rot in hell
dominion - opening scene was oddly bright, like the lighting department didn't get it, but the next hour and a half or so was pretty good, going more for a slow buildup, a nice atmosphere of weird over the more overt stuff of recent horror films--and, speaking of which, this one made me want to see that other exorcist prequel that replaced this one after it was shelved--but then, once cheche lost his hair it all quickly devolved into something a bit too simplistic, and the exorcism itself was way too short, not that i wanted a days of our lives style exorcism, taking months and playing like a pathetic sitcom, but the original exorcist film let things play out much more deliberately, even after the exorcism gets going (or at least, it seemed to, which is just as important)
and, aside from those two movies, i also watched some jeopardy and another simpsons treehouse of horror, and the hour long premiere of that 70s show, oddly enough--odd because i dropped that show way back in season two or three
and, as i mentioned, i went through 42 videotapes (...to go into the garage, plus the handful of current tapes), updating index cards for various series (yeah yeah, i'm obsessive, so what?) cause i'd been neglecting that of late, made some pasta and corn bread for dinner and debated a sidenote on abortion (notably proposition 73 here in california, about notifying parents) with sarah
i'm off work today and paid for my font creator license yesterday, so i'll be working on the iridian font for gardea this morning, and i've got gus van sant's last days waiting to be watched
