I've seen so few movies in recent years, it's borderline self-destructive. I have a growing list of recommendations from friends that its neglected weight is burying me in Catholic-esque guilt.
But I can't think of a filmmaker who consistently brings me more joy than the creators of Raising Arizona, Fargo, The Big Lebowski, Oh Brother Where Art Thou, and The Hudsucker Proxy. So I best be getting my butt out there to see this one (which is *not* a comedy, but more like Fargo or Miller's Crossing ... though of course there's delightful humor in those, too, if you're of a certain perverse worldview).
Even from the few previews I've seen, the great editing and framing is evident. I can't wait. Clear my schedule!
As you may have noticed, the site has changed. Sampa, the free-site host, did a version 2 of some sort.
Despite an FAQ that made it sound like allowing one's site to go through v.2 surgery would be okay, there were several flexibilities that surprisingly disappeared with the click of a button. (e.g. I cannot believe sidebars like this one are even narrower than before.)
And I'm told -- miraculously! -- that the conversion cannot be undone. Truth be told, I'm actually quite pissed. But free is free. Sampa has otherwise been good to me.
So I need to sort through site "features" to see how I can make do. Except that I don't have the time at the moment, in the middle of graduate classes and Lighthousehockey.com. (btw, I've removed that Lighthouse RSS feed so that you're not clogged with random Islanders hockey gibberish).
But I promise to touch up the accessories when I get a chance, and return to irregularly scheduled blogging.
