It's winter, and therefore I can accept that it would be cold outside. However, since I am inside, I would like it to be warm, please. I don't think that's too much to ask.

Weekend was decent. I now have a spiffy new Supernatural mood theme, and I got to seeBabel the other night, thanks to the Internets. Sadly, those are two hours of my life that I'll never be able to get back again. Before I saw it, I was pretty sure it would be Crash 2: International Boogaloo. After seeing it? I know that it is without a doubt, Crash 2: International Boogaloo. It was a lovely mixed bag of overacting, poor plotting, and eye-roll-inducing cliches. Don't bother, unless you think Crash was the best movie of all time.

And now, to work. And to do something about this headache and scratchy throat.

Well, if you're an extroadinarily lazy sociologist, I can see where these movies would be helpful. However, I felt that they were far, far too general (probably because rather than tell one or two stories, they're trying to tell 5 at once) to say anything really profound. (Not to mention the fact that there are so many long stretches that have no dialogue at all that really could have benefitted from some, but I digress.) The guy who directed Babel's first movie, Amores Perros is supposed to do this well, but I've not seen it, and I'm fairly reluctant to do so after seeing this one.
