2001


On Saturday, we got stoned and came inside because the bugs were bothering Kent (I give you context all the time because I love how unlikely things can be. To Mark, I call it the "run lola run" thing). We were listening to Morrisey and Mark decided to put on one of these movies we rented that wasn't really a movie but one of those things that says "This film has changed lives. Shot on amazing 70mm, the images of the world will amaze you and make the world a smaller and infinitely better place....." It was called "Baraka". We put it on just to watch it and Morrisey was the soundtrack. It was amazing and hypnotic and unutterably poignant that we shared the earth with such images. About forty-five minutes into the film, I turned it off through sheer willpower. It was like we were under a spell. I felt compelled to go to this stranger's wedding party we had been invited to, but yet I was so content in my home. I used the film and told Kent and Mark we should constantly be exercising our soul and our buddhist tenets, so we went to this party where we really weren't invited (and it was quite like "Heyday"). Kent and Mark were petrified and irritated with me (for making them go), but they agreed it was worth it. Anyway, THEN on Sunday, Mark and I closed our blinds after breakfast (around 1:30 har har) and watched another movie that was due by Sunday at midnight. It was one of those movies that I had heard was "good. Yeah, really good. You should see it." I was a bit weary because I had heard it had necrophelia and twisted sex stuff. (I'm sort of surprisingly a prude a bit with sex...like I don't like butt action or sweaty ugly sex). NO WAY!!!!!!!!!! This film was meaning-of-life amazing! There were absolutely NO gratuitous shots. I was amazed. I wish I had written it. It was everything that I believe about life up on the film. It's a film about hypocrisy. I'll never lower my standards again and think of going to see "Tomb Raider" when I've heard from several reliable sources that it SUCKS.
