Been Watching

Wild: As good as the book? Not sure. Was the book even that good? There's the worst computer-generated fox in there, and yet, the thrust of the story does carry you along with it. What I mainly took away was something I already know, about how you travel to inner places when you're alone in the wilderness—some dark and some not. You chew on shit, and then you come out the other side. Redemption, et cetera.

St. Vincent: Please do see this—one of those inspired films that remains undecided about what  it is. On the surface ... so fucking funny. But underneath, it's really very, very sad.

Chinese Puzzle: French movies are just better—better actors with more interesting faces and a different way of looking at shit. This here is a lovable French rom-com streaming on Netflix right now—about how life's all complicated, but at the same time, it's not.
