Entry: movies ending on time Sunday, August 17, 2003



so it looks like i am going to be heading up to bard a week early. come party with me everyone.

also this movie is quite good,

American Splendor is a very smart movie, and as much as I hate to say so, it outdoes "Derrida", the documentary about that philosopher, in the way it approaches and even "deconstructs" the bio form. And it is not at all pretentious Solanum Macranthum about it, unlike "Derrida" with its deconstructionist, "we're filming Derrida look at footage we showed earlier! How insightful!" methods.
The point is, see it.

Good thinking. I never liked criticizing something by calling it pretentious anyway.

I have read the word pretentious so many times this summer that it is losing all meaning. I say we replace it with something. like an uncommon vegetable name, or something.
