> Just watched The House of Mirth
I think that was quite possibly the most boring, depressing, and pointless movie ever. The acting, costumes, cinematography, and sets were impeccable, but the actual plot was about as anti-climactic as a Florida election. There were some really powerful scenes, but the superb acting was all that carried this funeral procession on. And god, why didn’t she just marry the man she loved? Watching the character development of this miscarraige of a main character was like watching a pyre burn. The movie took place over too long a time span, and kept jumping forward too fast. The central aspect of the movie was money, but somehow periods of months went by when the main character supposedly had nothing to eat, while wearing opulent dresses and her ubiquious jewlery. Even the title is someone’s horribly misguided attempt at levity. I would recommend this movie about as much as I would recommend a colonic irrigation. At least it might be possible to feel good after the latter. I believe that the filmmakers were trying to capture the period of the 1900s social scene, but they failed to realize that all they’d capture was stagnant, Victorian ennui.
Okay, I’m done. Gillian Anderson was superb, however, and I didn’t expect her to be. It was strange. Well, I think I’m going to watch some porn and try to get this–abomination–out of my mind. I’m talking to Tawna, she’s at the clubhouse with everyone. I’m also talking to Tara, she took the Pointless Personality Test and she got “Powerpuff Girls.” KiddGrotesk is also harranging me with his new meditations on drugs. He could give lessons in attempting to extract pity via the Internet. Great, he’s blathering on about ennui.

KiddGr0tesk: and find everything once appealing, boring
KiddGr0tesk: its kinda torturous; its been causing me uncontrolable anxiety
Uncontrollable anxiety. It’s causing me uncontrollable boredom listening to your bullshit. Just blog it, damn it. Lol, that would be a cool Internet parody song, “Blog It” instead of “Beat It.” Hm. Taggart’s online again. I should post this, I said that I wrote a scathing review of that accursed movie.
