  I haven't read any Pynchon yet (I don't know why) so I'll probably go in that direction.

  Anthony Pandolfino stopped by. Is that like stating the weather when it's obvious what the weather is? I guess it depends on how often one looks out the window.

  Two books I can heartily recommend that would fit into both categories below: 1) The Recognitions, by William Gaddis (I'm preparing myself for a third reading of this magnificent tour de force) and 2) Gravity's Rainbow, by Thomas Pynchon. My first three attempts to "get into" GR left me frustrated and pissed off at the book. I think I threw it across the room more than once. Finally, after several years had passed and I had quit smoking the Wednesday Weed, I was able to put my concentration to good use and finish the book. Now I like it quite a bit : )

  @ Kevin: Anything you might conceivably read more than once or something you wouldn't mind gifting to another.

  Holy shit, Charlie. Those bottom pics made my legs tingle. That's a nasty scrape!

  Interesting news story bro. I'm not sure why the pigs shot him. Clearly the guy was out of his mind. Why not just taze him? Fucking cowards. Anyway. Face shredding reminds me of what happened to my girl Keala Kennelly. Tough chick. Btw ~ If you saw what in my opinion is one of the best things TV ever had on it (John from Cincinnati) she played Kai.

  I have like a 20 € coupon for a book store. Anything I should consider buying?

  Here's a pic of the grisly scene. Not for the squeamish...

  Speaking of chewing face, I just caught this story off MSN.

  Drive it is! I gave Bluebeard the 15 minute test and it failed.

  What would you say is the best wine to pair with face?

  **Spoiler Alert** Angela Bettis gets her face chewed off. Boo!!! (I feel sorta bad)

  Holy shit! Nor have I seen the BRAND NEW Pandolfino album. Downloading that sheez right NOW : )

  gestern Morgen

  I haven't seen that one!

• nabraxas

  Yes, I STILL haven't seen that one either. This is one of my favorite Gosling films. Very artsy and nice. Anthony Pandolfino is bustin' out with the mellow drones and steady beats.

  Speaking of Mr. Gosling...I must have mentioned The Believer at least three times before, but just in case I'm mismanaging my memory here it is again. And again...

• BoT___

  Oh, and definitely gettin' my ears on some of that zxyzxy. Thanks!

  gestern Morgen

• BoT___

  No worries. I feel asleep shortly after din din and haven't yet made it to the queue. I'm also a fan of Gosling and what I've seen of Breillat's work. For tonight I might just pick the shortest of the three and go with that : )

  gestern Morgen

• nabraxas

  Oops, sorry I didn't read that til 2 hours after you typed it, Samuel. I highly enjoyed Ma Mere. Both Drive and Bluebeard are sittin cozy in my queue. Drive looks good and I'm a fan of Gosling's work/style. Catherine Breillat's Bluebeard also looks very good and I have only known her for her more erotically tinged films. I personally am considering finally watching Melancholia tonight. That or Bartleby...

• BoT___

  So...out of these three movies, which one would you pick as your #1 choice for the evening? Ma Mere, Drive, or Bluebeard? I mean, I have 143 films in my Instant Queue and am feeling the burden of persistent indecision night after night. Usually all I need is a word from someone like Nathan to tip the scales in a particular film's favor and I hit "Play." Help a brother out!
