ok, i have to make this one quick because my brother is on his way over so i can give him a ride to the bank, cause he crashed his car (ugh...again).

sos a few days ago my ex boyfriend came onto this site and read my profile, and now he is calling my aesthetic judgement into question because i like a vincent gallo film.

he's like, my best friend or something but no one is going to win that argument (on aesthetic judgement i mean, not v. gallo) cause one of us is an artist and the other is a philosopher.

I loved it because I let Gallo manipulate me. I identified with his character. As he interacts with Ricci's character, all his posturing does is reveal more to us about his troubled mind, his fears and his needs. Through his conversations with Ricci we come to understand his psychology. We finally come home with him and meet the family that produced him, and everything is laid plain, he's no longer a thug, he's a weak little boy.

It's an anatomy of attachment disorder written by a punk, a street performer, a man who doesn't have the vocabulary, so he improvises one. It's brilliant.

It changed me a bit. Maybe it helped cure me of any desire to be "dangerous" or "cool".
