i can't decide how i feel about Gallo, actually. part of me dislikes him, but part of me appreciates him for almost the same reasons. i'll let you know how that film is if i catch it sometime soon.
i was almost more excited about the website i stumbled across to link to for you about it - i love good film analysis - especially if it is not too, too academic.
i did get yr emails - it's funny, i had actually noticed i was gone from yr site for a minute. i'm in such a creative funk right now, i was like, 'i don't blame him'. someday soon i hope to have a stride back, man.
hope everything in the real world is back on track for you. i never did learn how to surf.
