book dust

I'm unsure why From Dusk til Dawn is such an interesting movie to watch. It's not that great, honestly. But it is so weird and I can't stop watching. The Gecko brothers are nicely nutty. I hate such a love/hate thing for Quentin Tarantino. I kind of want to drink far too much alcohol and watch a bunch of Tarantino now. The bright sun just makes me lazy.

This morning was productive however. I cleaned up my bedroom, dusted off my bookshelf, and fnally unpacked the bags of books I had had piled up from moving last year. It is much neater now, and less dusty. I also culled out a dozen things I'm not likely to ever read again. The ones in reasonable shape I'll take to Half Price, and pick up some new books.

That's the movie that convinced me that George Clooney was going to be a star; he held the screen from the first moment. It's also the only movie where Tarantino's own acting doesn't make me want to stroll out to the kitchen; he's actually quite good in it.

Yeah, I really enjoy Clooney in this. Tarantino is also actually acting, as opposed to just being himself I think.

Did you know there were several sequels made that went direct to video ?

No!! They must be shockingly bad, which means I want to watch them now.

She's just delicious.
Have you seen Frida?

I haven't, actually. I need to rent some movies.
