Too busy
Been extremely tied up. Really quiet at Quintus's lately. I didn't have any
time to post. I'm so sorry, but I hope you can understand that other work does take priority

'Elizabethtown': cool
Fucker and I saw a screening of Elizabethtown yesterday. Lesb told me the movie was
fabulous so my expectations where high, and I found it a decent movie. In short: During his trip back to Kentucky for his father's memorial, a dejected young man (Bloom) finds inspiration in the form of a flight attendant (Dunst).
The direction was just amusing and the dialog of 'Elizabethtown' is ok as well.
It's worth the price of an admission ticket and a medium popcorn.

"Lost": The Spoiled Bastard.
Just read this article at the eFluxMedia website.
The frantic forward action of "Lost" this season took a nice, even welcome detour to get emotional. The story of Jin and Sun was, in many ways, a very nice send off for the both of them.
