fuck, it's Monday.

I'll typically log onto my work email to get a "sneak preview" of my day.. and I feel the anxiety creeping in. I wish my job included commission. I swear, it wouldn't be so bad working with these people and pretending to "love them all".

All right, time to get my game face on, look professionally cute, brew my coffee and head out.

Happy freakin' Monday.

Thomas Jane starring in... Good Oldboy! No, it doesn't quite work. There's a tone to those films which is just as important as the story, action, shock value, etc., and McG or whatever hack they line up just won't have it. Look what they did to Shutter and Shall We Dance? If relatively straightforward genre pieces can't be translated for the US audience, how can something like Lady Vengeance (starring Charlize Theron)? Ugh. Scorcese doing Infernal Affairs didn't help either: Departed made coin and won awards, so naturally there's now a list of other candidates, Park Chan-wook among them. They may all talk to my hand.

I blame American audiences. Movies like Swing Girls & The Host should have been blockbusters here, but no one will read subtitles. Instead we get anemic remakes. Again, ugh.

You got duped! LOLZ indeed. I hope you remember the little people when you're onstage at the Independent Spirit Awards.

As an aside, it's a delight to meet someone with similar enough tastes to discuss film. You're pretty boss!

And you'll be willing to let a friend read that thesis, right?
