But I thought Sideways was good. It didn't bore me at all.

Charlie Bartlett's sort of a shrink movie. It's about a rich high school kid that wants to be popular so he sets up in the school's bathroom to help people with their problems. He gets physicians to put him on all these medications, then writes prescriptions for the other students. He dates the alcoholic principal's daughter, which results in all sorts of shenanigans.

That's a terrible review, and makes the movie sound bad, but it's actually one of the best I've seen in quite a long time. I'd advise completely ignoring what I wrote about it and checking it out.

One of the most compelling and poignant documentaries I've ever seen and I'd imagine one of the best documentaries about mental illness. Absolutely heartbreaking.

finally saw District 9. surpassed my expectations by a great distance. fantastic! yay for peter jackson.

fock, man

Gooood, I love that film but it is indeed painful to watch at certain moments.

An absolute pile of fricking wank:

^ Good as a kind of 'how to' guide to dramatic writing, but as a film it's pretty flawed, with a good few plotholes to be seen. Decent enough overall I guess. The protagonist's combover is absolutely hilarious too.

re D.Johnston:

The best part is when Butthole Surfers acid makes him schizo. And the helicopter crash with his dad was effin rad. The rest was all talking if i remember correctly. Big business monkey. He's seen as like the quintessential idiot savant for hipsters but 'Hi' was really barbed... I saw some live footage of him recently and i wasn't buying it. stick to the dox. Good he has fans to pay the no doubt extortionate med bills

i like the gratuitous (censored) nipple-baring. he even manages to look wooden and unconvincing being electrocuted by his stupid overpaid tongue. i ask you... what
